I didn't see the pre-match but that sounds fcking stupid. Fck knows why that goal was disallowed. Seems like every time Maguire is in the opposition box a foul has to be given against him when we score.
This really has been unbelievably comfortable for Sheffield United. We've just passed aimlessly for 35 mins.
You spoke about complacency. Look at that line up. Maybe you should've aimed that at the manager and team instead of the fans?
Exactly. This is why we won't win the league. We really should come back and win this but we start so **** in every game there will soon be teams who'll just add a couple more and it's game over. Who is with the players pre match?
Matic dogshit. Martial dogshit. Do we train those 180 degree pirouettes and passes back to midfield for all our attacking players?
It is silly to look at the table and say that we should walk the match. It doesn’t work like that. I’m old enough to spot a banana skin and this is as big as they get. Of course the players and the manager need to avoid the complacency and I could spot it from a mile. Once the media shower you with praise after the huge criticism you know you have to be 100% on your guard. Build you up to chop you down, and the players and coaching staff should be more savvy.
Well they've got 45 minutes to decide whether they want to be in a title race. Or, as I said long before kick off, go back to continually sucking City and Liverpool dick in press conferences and accepting third place. Or worse.
The line up, the way we're playing is nowt to do with the media. Other than Rashford and Bruno on that pitch there isn't anyone willing to take on or get beyond that defence. It's just pedestrian from everyone else. As soon as they come up against an oppo player it's sideways and back passes. Even the corner we had, it came in and I think it was Greenwood kicked it back into midfield
Of course the way we play and the complacency have nothing to do with media . But you could see it coming . All the buildup and all the praise. I’ve said here that we are still improving and we need to be careful not to assume we are better than we are. We are clearly not the finished article.
What a slow **** first half. Is Shaw on the bench because we really need him on the pitch, Telles is not good enough going forward and average at defending. Time for Cavani too because we are not good enough to just walk through a tight defence, get some movement up front and some crosses in.
Nobody is saying we should score a hat ful. Nobody is saying we should walk the match. But we should be dominating this game considering where we are and where they are. We should at least be creating chances? At least having a shot on goal? Maybe troubled their keeper just once? If that equates to walking the match then fcking hell, we might as well pack up and go home now.
Those two should be hooked immediately. I'd take Greenwood off as well, having one of his frequent off days tonight.
Greenwood has been poor. I just wonder with Cavani on, he may improve. Probably Shaw as the 3rd sub as Diego said earlier.
