Sheffield Utd (A) post match thread

[sir baconface]

There is no joy in that City squad. Certainly no joy watching them. I enjoyed the Pearce days more that this. And I'm not joking. Give me Vassell and Cole over Sterling and Mahrez. Or
Bosvelt over Rodri. We are awful. Something needs to change. Probably the only change is me walking away finally.

I’d prefer to view as easing our way back after a dodgy spell. In that context a 1-0 away win is just fine.

Kyle mom, Rodri played really well. Sterling great first half faded second half. Why Pep didn't bring Phil on earlier I will never understand.

Game management mate, lots of games and looking after the conditions of players.

Good win, albeit still nowhere near our best. First half we moved the ball well and broke quickly and Sterling was a constant threat. Second half very slow build up play and frustrating to watch.

Rodri gets a lot of stick but was our best player today and offered solid protection to our defence.

Why Foden didn't start I am not sure but we are a lot more effective with him in the side.

3 points is all that matters.
Well played boys

Pep gave Ederson that big hug at the end, thanks for the two saves that kept it at 1-0, but wouldn't have been needed if City had taken their chances. Get Jesus or Aguero up front and City win this league.

Another piss poor performance but at least we have the 3 points. Our attack is concerning, considering how we barely put chances together.

Are you for real mate or just being a wum??
That was a very good performance in awful conditions v an awful opponent.
We can’t score 4 every week you know.

Rodri MOTM for me, dealt with McBurnie easily all game and his passing was excellent, looked like he has been told to be a little more direct than the last few games and it showed.

Unlucky to only get the one goal, Torres should probably have put one of his chances away but he's not a striker so I will let him off.

A better first half display than second half , but a great goal, and we got three points all the same!

We made life really hard for ourselves by missing chances again , but a number of City players performed really well today , so i'll take it.

Rodri MOTM for me , impeccable display ..

It wasn't piss poor. Every fucking contribution you make on here is piss poor so you'd expect to know something about what piss poor is.
To clarify, your post is piss poor as is your reading of a game.
Piss piss poor.

I agree it was nothing like piss poor. Last year we bitched about our defending. We were fine today; they had one real chance when Cancelo got skinned. And while we only scored one their keeper made, what, 7 or 8 saves? We do look very tired and I wish Pep had brought in subs earlier but grinding out a win like that with no recognized striker and a ref who stuffed his cards up his own rectal cavity before the match (you could tell because he never used them and runs like something is shoved up his ass, the fucker) is an accomplishment. 3 points, job done.
