For all it was a decent run, he basically had to get past one half hearted attempt to stop him and that was it. They haven’t been close to creating any chances either, which I assume is fairly normal for them this season. Yep, pretty much standard for them to create next to nothing. Their forwards aren't the greatest, but they hardly see the ball in the area never mind get chances. Chris Wilder wouldn't start Rhian Brewster (a crazy £24 million buy!) today even with McBurnie, Sharp and Burke all out. That sums up the state of the club atm. An absolute shambles that, on current form, will struggle to get 10 points this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many young players when they could have done with adding some top flight quality and experience. They looked very well organised last season, shambolic at times this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're missing Henderson badly. The recruitment has been appalling - so much money wasted on mediocrity like Ramsdale. It's unlikely that there's much left in the kitty for January. Perhaps they can get a few loans or free agents in. To be honest, they're down and are just playing for pride. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pele? I don't particularly rate Lingard, but agree that "inexperienced" is probably not his main weakness. To be fair, Pele at his best probably wouldn't save Sheffield United this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if that's going to help.B Lingard would be as bad as Fosu-Mensah, Jones and Rojo. The silly pundits will probably suggest misfits like Soares, Chambers, Sokratis, Rose, and Bolassie. I'd bring back Dean Henderson if United are willing. He'd give the defence some much needed confidence. Even Gazzaniga, frozen out at Spurs, would be better than Ramsdale. It will be difficult to get in some needed attacking talent. Demarai Gray is reportedly going to Spurs. Balogun from Arsenal could be worth a punt too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 What is the point of having VAR when some clownshoes diddy referee immediately blows his whistle for a 'foul' rather than letting play continue for that Brighton chance? That's the sort of incompetence that should punt you into the Conference North next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 What a goal from Tierney. SuperbSeemed like he was expecting someone to face up to him all the way in then just thought, well f**k it il help myself then. Popular goal with the Arsenal players too by the look of it. Seems to be a very well liked player down there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
