I don’t disagree. I just think there’s no denying the first goal was a very bad mistake. He saves it 99 times out of 100
Who said we were? For what it's worth I think we'll finish about 10th. But if we can see the same mistakes being made game after game then surely Shota can?
The back 3 do not look comfortable on the ball and was capitalised on by United. Their fitness and energy was as good in the 83rd minute as it was in the first ten and pressurised our play out from the back not helped by a lack of movement from our midfield to want to receive the ball until Seri came on. With the ball played out by Ingram, their back line was squeezed up to the half way line condensing how much room we had to play with it and this worked for them with their midfield/attack pressing our back 3 causing mistakes. They were also physical without overstepping the mark, well organised and worked as a whole team unit with everyone knowing their job. City had 3 warnings about their shooting from 20-25 yds before McBurnie’s shot went in!! Oscar’s chance was created because of their high line. I think Figueredo needs a rest and give McLoughlin a start and revert to a back 4. By the way did anyone notice the ball go over the East Stand touch line by a foot and play carried on ?and
Shota has confirmed Tetteh hamstring injury. Not sure how long he's out. Didn't look great for him though. Must have torn it
Generally feel we need someone to drop deeper from midfield to help beat the press. We matched them for system and their wing backs were high up leaving some gaps out wide but we had no way to exploit. Tufan being slightly off the pace didn't help but I dont think its panic stations based off today
It was, but there were also 3 City defenders who were in front of Ingram, none of whom closed the shot down
Agree. Minute Seri came on you could see the link up being better. Woods strikes me as a final third midfielder
We saw Tettah living the stadium on crutches with a big bandage on his thigh. He did drive off though.
You're f***ing ****, we're f***ing great the piggies grunted, blade's on the pitch, chucking flares over into East Stand, a reyt(sic) horrible club, I still hate Sheffield United, there I've said it, let's move on.
We created some excellent chances today, against the team many tip to finish top. I’d be more concerned if we weren’t creating chances. We just need to sharpen up defensively and make the most of our opportunities.
Weren’t even that bad defensively either today, goal keeper mistake and a piece of class from Berge. Was how we played in possession today that was poor but we countered well, still a lot of players getting sharp, Tufan had his set back, Longman still getting there. Oscar looked sharp in possession today just a shame he missed that chance but he needs to be getting more than 1 good opportunity a game
We lacked composure on the ball(until Seri arrived) and movement off the ball.We are not creating space and it's costing us against the better sides who are simply better than us at the moment.Too many times the defence is having to backtrack and backpass due to having no outlet. We're having the worst possible run of injuries ,that's a huge problem!!! If we were at full strength and having a go at side's with our best players we'd be causing problems to teams like Sheff Utd .Arveladze makes some puzzling decisions in my opinion and time will tell whether or not he's up to the job but to give him the benefit of the doubt he's best judged when we have the key players fit and available.
People keep mentioning Ingram being peppered with shots, do you recall him having to make a big mistake today? He didn’t. Their keeper did though.
Very fair assessment. The stats where very balanced as well. We missed our chances they took the one clear one they had and our keeper gifted them the other. We won't come up against a better team in transition as we did today. Our depleted team&squad that has hardly played together could have walked away with the points today. Once we have a fully fit squad to choose from I see us winning games like today
