Oscar as someone else said by a mile even though he missed a very good chance Seri changed the game when he came on Pelkas even though it was just a short cameo it showed promise for futures games
Fair enough, work in progress but I still question Shota's tactical ability. We knew Sheff U would bully us, (did they have a player under 6') ? And we let them.
I’m struggling on this one. All bang average, little fight…out musculed, feeling very grumpy & the early season optimism has gone. Time for a vino
Oscar for his work rate. Baxter for the saves he would have made, the assists & the goals he would have scored if he’d been on the pitch!
Can’t believe how few recognised how hard Elder grafted and fought especially in the first half ! Is it the usual don’t rate him never credit him ? This is a MOM not a general opinion point - he had a good game TODAY he had shocker at QPR
Oscar-worked his nuts off for the entire game.Should have scored and 99 times out of 100 his follow up would have been in the net,kudos to their keeper for a great,and brave,double save. Slater-work rate and at least tried to move the ball forward most of the time. Greaves-not his best game but decent.Coyle and Elder could also have grabbed 3rd but have to pick just 3. I agree it's still a work in progress but I doubt Shota's team talk was"Let them bully us and take as much time as you like to pick out a pass,then send it back to Ingram anyway"...I could be wrong though.
Thought we struggled to do basics today especially passing out from the back... hard to pick 3 Oscar Coyle Tufan
Oscar Coyle Greaves thought Seri was bright when he came on,as was Pelkas. Tufan showed glimpses but like everyone he needs games.
Oscar - hold up play and layoffs were a bright point Slater - ran around a lot Greaves - everyone else in the back 6 managed to make him look solid
Oscar - great hold up play but still struggling to believe he didn’t score Elder/Coyle - both grafted and did their best
Greaves - did good at the back and always looking to get forward . Slater - off and on 1 st half but really good 2nd when showing energy and endeavour. Oscar - disappointed with the one on one miss but he worked hard up front and was always coming deep looking for the ball. Still sulking as I don't like the blades . Let's put this behind us and move onto the next game . Come on City
Oscar is a hard grafter but didn’t get up to a header all match. I was very disappointed today because Sheffield obviously had the class from a higher league standard but we could have caused so many more problems for them if we accepted we are not yet up to their level and battled harder which is what is needed to progress again from the Championship. (No easy tickets to the Premier unfortunately).
