Sheffield United (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Clean sheet and 3 points.
Still not clinical enough up front but hopefully Haaland and Kev both back soon but we all said, stay in contention till Jan and we have done so.
Another Ref though who officiates depending on the shirt colour with fouls given to them and identical fouls not given on us

I thought we were excellent second half. Not so great in the first, particularly the last 20 mins of it.

Rodri controlled the game for us and Ake was superb at the back intercepting everything they tried.

Nice second half from Foden and Bobb. Silva consistently good throughout,

Never exciting games against these so a clean sheet and controlled win is just the job. Cheered me up after a miserable Christmas with a manky chest infection.

Delighted with the defence, clean sheets are important to get a run together.

Foden, Lewis and rodders impress me when they press and work together.

Happy Days, Happy New Year Blues!!!

Credit to Sheffield United. They're extremely well-drilled and made it hard work.

Phil MOTM, again. Bobb continues to make the most of every opportunity he gets.

FINALLY a clean sheet as well!

Shef U seemed to settle for a 2-0 defeat.
constant long ball kicking as well from the goalie - just not going to work in modern premier league football with how skillful the defenders are.

 

[PragueBlue]

Very good performance against a team that came to spoil rather than play. Total domination and a very comfortable win. Really didn't have to break sweat.

Everyone played their part but I thought our standout performers were Foden, Rodri and Ake.

Clean sheet. 3 points. Job done today.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

3 points.
Hardly had to try.
Move on to next game.

Unbeaten at home in 2023!

TBF if they convert one of those chances in the first half, it's likely a different game. Wilder set them up as well as they could IMO. If they tried to go toe-to-toe with us, they'd get wiped off the pitch.

Pretty dull affair to be totally honest but will take it all day.

In a nice position with arguably 2 of the best players in the world yet to come back.

On a separate note, great to see all 5 trophies on display and a lovely touch to see loyal fans bringing them on the pitch before kick off.

And yet there the rags are in 7th place??

They will be very happy to ship just 2 goals, we never got out of 3rd gear ..No injuries so a good practice game for us, a few more goals wouldn't have hurt our GD it might be tight this season.

Foden starting to run games on a regular basis (alongside Rodri). he is starting to take the final step up it seems.

Bobb with a great cameo.

Nathan Ake - what a pro he is......Im surprised he isnt talked about as a potential captain ( as well considering he was Bournmouth capt before he came to us).

No need to risk KDB in that game...give him another week of training or 2 with the FA cup and then let him loose on Newcastle (maybe a cameo in the FA cup if all goes to plan)]

Just really wish we could give Rodri a rest at some point in games.

 

[citymad]

Anyone know if we broke the passing record? Think previously it was 1015.

 

[Mancity1980]

So disappointed, 6 passes off a 1000!

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Job done. Back to back wins. Three points. Clean sheet. Those twats one step closer to relegation.

Onwards and upwards.

Wasn’t pretty at times but top top stuff blues.

Another couple of minutes and we’d have done it.

He now has 2 weeks off. He don’t need to play Uddesfield.
