Sheff Utd (H) - Match Thread - 16/07/2020

[David Hankey 498]

Let's not look back to this time in the last match. The Blades are a different kettle of fish and we will blunt 'em.

[Dan LCFC 11,492]

That was a really decent half. I don't know if I'm just overcompensating because I was expecting so little but this really has been a good watch. Thomas has had a really decent first half I think - has used the ball very well.

 

Tielemans has also had another very good first half. I thought he did well at Bournemouth though.

 

Just keep it up. He needs shooting if he tries to shuffle this.

I like how he wears his shorts

 

 

Obviously going to regret saying this, but despite the 'throwback' looks, Bennett's passing has been pretty crisp and accurate. 

 

Oh god, oh god

[Sunbury Fox 1,252]

Playing well but I'm a nervous wreck every time they get within 50 yards of our goal. Gonna be a long second half.

[HighPeakFox 9,586]

Bennett looks fair enough to me - give it a rest with the confirmation bias lads.

[Lambert09 2,523]

Luke Thomas looks like the player we all expected Chillwell to be

Why?

 

His short backpass or whatever will be on you!

[Collymore 3,446]

When Bennett looks like he's venturing forward like Paulo Maldini early on, you know we're in for a treat!

All this stuff about HT sub jokes - can we remember that Nacho was rubbish in the first half when BR subbed him off against B’mouth. He should have replaced him directly I agree with another fwd but it’s not as desperately stupid a decision as peeps are making out. The players simply didn’t react and press which made Vards look like a Skittle amongst Maltesers.

Rarely does one even win/lose a game, but that substitution (together with the system switch) principally changed the game. So, let’s please move on and quit making excuses for that momentous blunder.

Btw, even a “rubbish” Nacho contributed to our only goal and our stellar performance in the first half by doing enough to keep the pressure/focus off Vardy (and frankly keep the game ticking by dropping deep to pick up balls).

Found Ryan Bennett's brother.

[Harrydc 492]

Wes Morgan to lead us to European glory! 

[coolhandfox 2,472]

Wilf and Youri class so far!

[Clever Fox 1,322]

More of the same please 2nd half.

[ToeKneeHandCock 108]

Mendy and Praet coming on for Perez and Barnes 

[Arriba Los Zorros 2,317]

FOOKING COME ON!!!

[Patrick 156]

A massive improvement so far. Luke Thomas looks like a big talent. Fingers crossed for the second half.

[The People's Hero 1,736]

Skittles vs Maltesers? Now there's a choice. I mean 9 times out of 10 its maltesers, but now and then you just want a naughty skittle.

 

And then fruit gums barge their way in to my thinking.

[UPinCarolina 2,677]

Will Henderson wear a hat in the second half?

[Hales 659]

Every single one has put in a shift so far! Well done lads 👏👏👏👏

Yeah like I said, should have been replaced with a like for like fwd.

 

But - the players didn’t respond to the change of formation which exacerbated how the decision looked. 

[The People's Hero 1,736]

Dennis Gyamfi crying in to his cornflakes when he sees our youngsters all get a chance and we win the quadruple next year.

 

Enjoy your second place finish in the SPL with about 3 appearances though mate.

[Tuna 13,034]

Looks like Wilder's bringing on some subs.

[deejdeej 817]

Moussets pace against our ageing centre backs could be worrying. Sorry to be negative.

It looks as though he’s wearing it for a bet

[foxfanazer 12,130]

Come on lads! Just go against all your natural instincts and don't be shit
