Sheffield United 5-0 Post Match Thread

[EnderbyFox]

It's very hard to highlight one player in the shower of shite that is Sheffield United but special shout out to Oliver Burke. Consistently shocked that he's managed to somehow get a gig as a professional footballer let alone one in the Premier League.

 

Every time I watch him he looks like he's won a competition, he's had 2 £10million+ transfers

Need United to win ! Want distance between us and anyone in 5th and 6th 

I’d prefer WHam to win or draw. I think we can get second.

What happened to Ricardo...just precaution? 

The consensus by the pundits and commentators was that he took a knock in the first half and was taken off as a precaution as he’s still getting back to full fitness

[Unabomber]

Very cool game for once. Vardy Iheanacho and Perez were all class. Has to be said that they were a pathetic opposition though and even at 0-0 looked beaten. 

[OntarioFox]

Vardy as supplier - something he's always been good at anyway - is the way we prolong his career with us if he really is on the decline now in terms of his goalscoring threat.

 

A new understudy in the summer is still vital, but if this is the way it's gonna be for the next season or so, i'd be delighted with that.

[North Leeds Fox]

Brilliant performance by all the team today. Especially happy for kelechi as he deserved those goals, put in a real shift and hope he continues as he is. Thought kevin and perez were great too. Vards almost back to his best, minus the finishing. We definitely looked more rested than in previous weeks. Hope ricardo was just a precaution, even though he looked a bit off. Great day!

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

All of a sudden we have a couple of wins on the bounce, players coming back and rivals dropping points.

 

Groovy! 

[Blarmy]

Vardy will be back in a goal scoring capacity. I’m sure of that as physically he seemed sharp today, and had chances. He fluffed them all but that’s a mental thing and I’m confident he’ll sort it.

 

I did think he’d lost a yard, and then I’d be agreeing with those saying he may need to be repurposed in the near future.

Amazing to think that we have won a game 5-0 whilst missing 6 of our 8 'big chances' according to the official stats. Sheff U lucky to get away with 5.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Evans missed an easy sitter, he can't even score today don't think he's ever get such an easy chance

Yeah Rodgers confirmed it in the interview just after I’d posted too. 

[OrielCaziado]

Honestly think this would have been double figures had we got two up before half time. That last fifteen mins we looked like scoring every attack. Imagine we’d had another twenty mins to play after they had given up.  

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Absolutely chuffed, exactly what we needed. A few more of them in our easier fixtures and we'll have a great chance.

Don't won't to start a argument, but l would have been happy still to be in Europe, but yes it was noticeably how fresh the players were, but you might have the same problem next season!  

Yes, it will certainly be a challenge but we'll be part of the biggest party in world football and with a great transfer window we'll have a deeper squad much better able to cope

[enmac]

Chuffed for Kel. Well deserved reward. 

Just found this bio about him. Now I understand his goal celebration. What a top bloke.

Just before the camera pulled away from Iheanacho after his third you could see that was actually sobbing. He’s had a tough time in Vardy’s shadow and our fans have been extremely critical of him at times, wanting rid soon. For him to show up just when we needed him most and do what he has done in the last three games has been nothing short of wonderful. I am so pleased for him and it was heart opening to see just how much it meant to him.

I feared another collapse but this team is now showing it’s mettle and confidence will be high moving forwards. Come on Leicester!

I’m dreaming of third as I have a nasty feeling the team in fourth will lose a Champions League spot to Liverpool. I would hate that to happen to us. That said a long way to go yet. It’s squeaky bum time!

I heard he's the next Dalglish.

Don’t joke he has a 50mill buy back clause doesn’t he?

[LanguedocFox]

I missed it! My son came over with a Mothers Day present, and left at 4:30. I still can't quite believe it.

 

Does anyone know where I can see extended highlights? There's three minutes on You Tube, but I want more. And I want the PL not to show matches on Mothers Day. Five bastard nil and I missed the lot. Bollogs.

What is the clause... surely it has run out?

[fox_favourite]

Was it me, or has the 8 days between games been what we needed? We looked sharper, fitter and more organised. I know it was a poor show from Sheffield Utd, but the way we unlocked them was impressive and missing in previous games.
