Sheffield United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Karl Bridges]

If we can get Bridge in for next Sunday, we could play Clark and Cuellar at the back.

Friedel

Walker
Cuellar
Clark
Bridge

Albrighton
Petrov
Bannan
Reo Coker
Downing

Gabby

That team could beat the Blose.

great shout. the exact line up id go for....maybe get big john on for a last 15min cameo...

Don't forget Makoun as well, can play instead of NRC.

[damon loves JT]

Terrible display. Total humiliation, Houllier must go NOW...

Oh right, we won

[Rip Van We Go Again]

To be fair in Petrov's cameo he showed the player I thought we had signed from Glasgow Celtic. Bursting into the box like that and scoring. Sad to see how far Sheff Utd have fallen and yet we were only marginally better at best.

Petrov is always going to be a good player If you bring him on for 30 minutes, I just think his days of starting and playing the whole match are long gone.

Would love a quality defensive midfielder to replace him, with Petrov on the bench as 'club captain.'

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Positive that we got through. But Ash really pissed me off today. Really thinks he is beyond all this battling stuff and he is so much better than having to push himself to much. Seriously get rid. That attitude will install the wrong attitude. Get the money for him. Totally inefective other than the one run. Well done the rest.  Walker solid ........

Getting better Karl.

I actually think we can beat them.

Exactly, this hysteria around this game is mad. It's a cup tie away against Championship opposition and had they not got a bad penalty decision we would have won a lot more comfortably.

[achilles]

The third goal made it sound more comfortable than it was, but a win's a win, and on we go.  Walker and Albrighton were great, Pires was utterly anonymous.  Ashley Young is a fucking idiot.

Pretty much sums it up for me.

Good to see from the third goal that at least we can actually play some good football, so all is not lost yet!

[pablopicasso_10]

needed that win, but more concerns about the performance and defending again...

another stupid sending off and both young and heskey miss the small heath game through their own stupidity...

nice to see new boy walker involved in the goals...

hope a few players can come in between now and the small heath game...

Doesn't need to be profound, it's right.

so if we win we're good, lose we're bad.

Did colour TV ever catch on down your way?

[atomicjam]

We were the better team. Made the better chances, scored three good goals and could have scored more. They got a penalty that was dodgy at best. At times we sat back and Ashley needs to be put back on the wing and told to stay there and do what he does best. But 3-1 away from home in the cup is a good result regardless of who we were playing. 

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I think the Dog shit game will be similar to this one, not too much quality, but we've got the better personnel to overcome them.

[KevinGage]

Great result, decent debut from Walker, dire performance overall.

Hopefully a nice easy home draw for the 4th round.

Well put it this way, Arsenal haven't won against Championship opposition, Sunderland have lost to a League 1 side, as did Blackpool. The point is in the cup, the key thing is to get through. In getting through we scored 3 quality goals, and the only reason we were ever under pressure was because they got a bad penalty decision go their way. So I'd hardly call that 'pathetic'. And no I don't believe you can win and be pathetic.

[pmk1981]

ok we won.  but if we had been playing anyone else of a better calliber than sheff united such as leeds we would of lost that game.  what annoyed me is that we went 2-0 up and  then mr shit bags twat ****** houllier went defensive.  so annoying.  i dont care that we won,  get him out now !!

Well done to the team for getting through and well done to walker for a solid display on debut

[Rip Van We Go Again]

The Sunderland result was shocking, bear in mind they are in 6th position in the league.
