Sheffield United (H) - Post-Match Thread

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Sheff U were the hardest working team I’ve seen since Real Madrid came in the semifinal in 2016.

Fair play to them!

Thought Mahrez was everywhere today and de Bruyne and Bernardo worked hard.

Think Rodri looks every bit a centre half and Garcia was really good!

Good three points in a though game

I watched McBurnie play for Swansea U23s every couple of weeks for 3 seasons. He is a dog, he will compete for anything and keep grinding out runs and track back and get a foot in. No Messi obviously, but a very honest footballer. If they have a team like that then good on them

Mahrez was fantastic. KDB was fantastic. Second half the team was fantastic. Gundogan closed it off. Watch the game.

I think it has to be said, again, that Mahrez-KDB is becoming a real partnership, and it's not surprising that Pep has been playing both together more frequently.

Don't forget, Mahrez was a huge WASTE of money, in case you did.

An ACL takes a full calendar 12 months to recover from in a fit to play condition

Ah ok. I was under the impression that he’d be back for the run in - March time maybe. Probably just journos having an uneducated guess.

Leroy's injury is a partial tear of his ACL (not a full rupture) - hence he's already back in light training.

didn't hit him, but he body checked their player, yellow card if it had been Fern :)

As the law stands, the goal correctly stood as the the ref didn't touch the ball.

The thing with the first goal is why was the Sheff Utd player passing to another that was being marked by the ref in the first place? Stupid eejit!

 

[Chi-town blues]

Rodri the hybrid. Good very good me like .

Sheff Utd worked at a tempo, commitment and focus we worked at in the past 2 seasons.

Shows what hunger and taking on board your manager's instructions does.

It kicked off at the top of the steps leading to M1 next to the away section about 15 mins before KO.

A couple of coppers that were at the bottom of the steps decided to take a leisurely stroll towards towards P entrance at that point rather than get involved so it went on for a bit until some from the away bit got involved. Saw at least one participant being collared.

To those of you who were at the game............................
Did any of you watch the names of the fans who died in 2019 and were remembered in the minutes silence?
My younger sister seems to think that our grandson's name was included - it was Logan Tuson, aged 7, drowned in January.
