Sheffield United v Aston Villa Match Thread

Jack is wasted playing out there in games like this.  Needs to be in midfield to really have an effect on things.

Great game so far, we're playing really well.

[Risso]

The best you can say is that at least they haven't scored.

[andyh]

We are morphing into a hoof ball team.
How the fuck has that happened?

[kippaxvilla2]

Dean will be on thin ice If we don’t win against Southampton and Norwich.

The only thin ice he’ll be on will be as he steps out on the Bodymoor training pitch early on a late December morning, and rightly so.

Oooh who took the jam outta your donut.

Ghazi shit

[paul_e]

The problem here is that we're static and too many passes are being floated, which means the recipient has no time to do anything than try to protect the ball.

[jwarry]

Actually put a few passes together there

[Risso]

El Ghazi has been awful so far.

If we are going to avoid getting sucked right into the relegation fight, we are going to have to string together several games where we play much better and get the results you'd expect from those performances.

We just don't look like ever doing that.

I reckon we are going down unless there is some serious surgery in January.

Weren't we doing that in late September? Draw v Burnley where performance was good but we were sloppy defending crosses then two back to back wins v Norwich and Brighton (that one was fortunate).

Anyway 7 points from 9 and things looking good and then the fixture list gives us Man. City and Liverpool. Strong 4 points from Newcastle-Man. United and then we get Chelsea and Leicester straight away.

Next 10 games is big chance to build up proper momentum.

[CT Villan]

God awful. We are so sloppy and as to the hoofball, it feels like Steve Bruce is manager again.

[Demitri_C]

el ghazi has been so poor

[ChicagoLion]

The best you can say is that at least they haven't scored.

Seems inevitable

[kippaxvilla2]

Only one shot in the match so far.

[SoccerHQ]

Chelsea 0-0 with Bournemouth is worrying me a little I have to admit. Surely they're not going to f*** us over again like they did v West Ham and Everton in last few games.
