Carlos on the subs. I suspect we don't need the physical presence for Archer but the speed.

Still no Olsen, has he been given upto Xmas off? And O'Reilly on the bench again.

Interesting selection. Brave to put in Lenglet for Carlos but I think it's the right call to give us more balance in possession. I did think he would try and squeeze both Bailey and Diaby in tonight so McGinn dropping in next to Luiz I guess.

Very attacking lineup, with Bailey and Diaby and presumably Douglas in DM.

Also Cash at RB.

Norwood is a decent player for them and do slightly worry about Archer getting in behind Lenglet, as he does seem susceptible to a bit of pace.

Still, very positive selection.

This is tough because they know exactly how shit they are and are playing a pretty strict 541 and leaving no space anywhere.

They're aren't attempting to play at all.

Why does Cash always do that drag back / cut inside when we're moving forward? It kills our flow

I've stated before when people queried in other matches. If it was something Emery didn't like, the Cash wouldn't be doing it*. I suspect it is something asked to do for retaining possession of certain moves are cut out/ runs are not made.

*Of course he might not like it and that is why he keeps getting dropped.

I remember watching Man City games (because they were all that was on TV) and thinking they looked rubbish because it was all just little short passes to each other, but obviously it was because the opposition weren't trying to play football.

Diaby and Bailey on the right is a bit of a waste until now. Watkins other than the pen shout and the row Z effort is so outnumbered, not that he's looking for space. Maybe the only way through is to shoot from outside the box, push Dougie further forward bringing the Donk on.

Diaby and Bailey are trying the take the piss, thinking they are the cream.  Our passing and movement needs to improve in the second half.  One shot on target is poor.  Defo a penalty for Watkins though, the more you see it, the more it looks like a blatant push.  You should never, ever take anything for granted and if we think we can hang 11 shirts out just to beat this lot, we are wrong, we still have to turn in a performance.

In no way is it the same game, Brentford were way more of a threat at this point.

They're defending with everyone back trying to catch up on the counter. We are slowing it right down again and overplaying it which is allowing them to get back in position 9 times out of 10.

It's literally deja vu!

We can still make some magic happen though if we speed things up. This ref is a clown though so expect more blatant fouls and no cards.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle worked in Sheffield as a doctor.
Source: Google.

Great book with ACD in it by Julian Barnes and set in Birmingham (kind of) about the Great Wyrley Outrages: Arthur & George (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_%26_George)

A sort of fiction based on fact.

We're slowing it down when we win it back because they've still got 7-8 players back and in position to close up the space. That's why there's no attacking intent, they're terrified of us catching them on the break.

Our game plan all year is that if we can't go through a team in a few passes we recycle and try to pull them out of shape.

Us getting the first yellow card of the game was as inevitable as the rising of the sun.

If we’d played with this level of urgency at 0-0 we’d have won. Tactically this was very poor by Emery tonight. That despite the shit that has gone against us.
Same as Forest. Have lots of possession and do fuck all with it. Concede every clear opportunity.

Wow. Bad result but they happen. But some of the over the top bullshit being spouted on here.

"Fuck off Emery"

WFTAF????

Sorry, but if we're going to slap him on the back for the good things, he needs pulling over the bad.  This has been an awful performance which he has to take responsibility for.  He does himself no favours tonight

But "Fuck off Emery". There is only so much any team can do when defending against 10 around the box. Every major team has this happen to some extent. Maybe some of the players were as willing as the fans that this would be a "funeraling" but it is the manager who has to "fuck off".

I've seen league leaders lose and or struggle to win in exactly the same circumstances and in other matches, they get the VAR call go for them and go on and win.

Sheffield United earned their point, we kept going and got an equaliser. I’m probably not as disappointed as I should be. I think if we’d drawn against Arsenal and won this one we wouldn’t be that bothered.

It did but a point is a point. Strange how it feels better equalising than if we’d just drawn 0-0. We’re more resilient than we used to be so I’m happier. 10 points from City,Arensal Brentford and Sheff Utd is a great haul 🙌🏼
