Sheffield United vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Axl Rose]

They just look fitter, quicker and more of a team.

It's hit and hope from us, nothing sticking.

I'm sick to death of crosses being whipped in to nobody/Kodjia on his own in the box.

Awful awful awful tactics. How I wish the players would rebel against our woeful manager and his ideas on how to play football.

[Three Spires Villa]

Not at the game, following on line & via my sister & brother in law who are at Sheffield, they txt that we are a shambles and it should be at least 3, dear me, get him out ASAP

[Goldie.7]

Should be 4-0 down, easily.

At minimum 3. This is worse than RDM at Preston. Shambolic.

Ok I'll meet you halfway and say that being only 2-0 down is actually not too bad considering this is more like watching a circus act instead of a "competitive" football match.

[CT]

This could have been avoided if we'd worn the white shirts.

[Toronto Villa]

I’m so very tired of this.

[BoVillan esq]

I have no sympathy for him. Makes the same mistake over and over.

I’ve developed a deep (football related) hate for the man. He’ll blame the fans after for being dramatic and hysterical. He’ll blame the players after like he did at Burton. He can fuck right off.

It must be obvious to most people you can't come of the back of a defeat against Burton and that kind of performance and expect to all of a sudden turn it on, just a few days later, and beat a stoic Sheff Utd at there's, it's all about form and winning ways, this is a Steve Bruce Aston Villa side.

[PaulWinch again]

Fuck off Bruce

[mrfuse]

Bruce: "the team will be unrecognisable"

I certainly don't recognise anything resembling football.

Steve get off your phone and concentrate on the match.

I think we are consistently inept

[Toronto Villa]

Not a fucking single move is played through the middle. Everything very predictably is down the left and they are just closing El Ghazi down, forcing poor crosses or blocking them.

[Axl Rose]

Hutton and Elmohamady arent very good, to put it mildly.

Everything is so slow, build up-wise.

Nah, time for more wine.

[Deano's Mullet]

Tenth now as it stands

[andyh]

He has definitely lost the players now

I think when you treat players like elphick and Albert like the way they have been treated this week, it’s hardly surprising that the players might be thinking ‘hold on, where is YOUR loyalty to us Steve? Which one of us is next to bombed out?’

[PerthVillaWA]

Crossing the ball to the one player in the box against the massive defenders....fucking clueless!!!  Kodja doesn't stand a chance.
