10 Man Sheffield United 1 Aston Villa 0 Post Match Thread

Garbage

[Rigadon]

Poor performance and even poorer result.  1 shot on target in 35 mins against the bottom of the table with 10 men.  We never looked like scoring and our crossing was absolutely, totally, completely shite.  1 cross in 95 mins that went anywhere near Watkins and he hits the bar - he’s a cracking player, but FFS have you seen another CF do that more than Ollie?

We need Jack back ASAP.

[Goldenballs]

GET IT IN THE MIXER! Garbage.

[Ian.]

Not good at all.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Can't understand why we went all this narrow crossing into the box.And why didn't Elmo have a go?

[Olof's Beard]

Can't rely on the defence to keep a clean sheet every week. We have stopped scoring. 9 in 10 since new year and we have only scored more than once in a game twice, and not at all in 7 games. Can't win two in a row either. Hugely fucking frustrating, we don't have a good run in and this was an opportunity lost.

The subs did bugger all too, not sure why anyone would single out Davis. The other two were piss poor.

So fecking irritating.

The most ridiculous post match thread title I have ever seen.

[Nunkin1965]

A totally frustrating watch from the first minute to the last. Terrible,terrible delivery into the box and without Grealish we've simply got a big problem.
Dreadful.
Not much to do but MIngs and especially Konsa brilliant.

Fairplay to sheff utd they played like their lives depended on it. We were all over them. Poor in the final third. Substitutions, though a little late were ineffective. At least we know now Barkley doesn't have much to show in the last 20 mins of games contrary to what he thinks.

Says it all about this season. I was more worried about tonight than this coming Sat

The sending off worked against us but we need to be more imaginative going forward, those deep crosses were infuriating.

From outset this was going to be a season of ups and downs and so it proves.

[Bobby Boy]

Sheffield Utd are the worst team in this league. And tonight they played with 10 men for nearly half the match. And they were poor. They fought and put their bodies on the line, yes, but they were poor

And we lost to them. That was as lacking in craft and guile and imagination as you will ever see.

The crossing, our main tactic, was shocking.

We have scored 4 goals in the last 6 games......

[Monty]

That really was the most unbelievable shit.

[yammers]

Very disappointing.  I genuinely believed that we’d batter these and that we would see Hayden get 15 minutes!  How wrong was I?!

[ktvillan]

One thing we know is we aren’t very good against teams that park the bus. Once they went ahead they were more or less doing that, and the red card worked against us as they sat even deeper with two banks of four. 

We can point to some freakishly shite refereeing and VAR ing denying us a stonewall pen, but there’s no excuse for the absolutely abysmal crossing and passing all night long. 

Elmo isn’t good enough for the PL, AEG is too inconsistent and others like Targett, just had shockers.


We are a long way from the pre-covid free scoring team – the swash seems to have fallen off our buckle and scoring seems to have become an issue.

I reckon we are about where we deserve to be in the table given our inconsistencies and it’s still better than most of us expected or hoped for. 

Oh and Sanson looked a bit cack when he came on.

[eamonn]

No one could be fucked with a post-match thread either!

It's all a bit Spring'92 innit? Can't score for shit, although at least we've eked out the odd 1-0 win. Could do with big Cyrile coming on instead of big Keinan, mind. We'll do well to finish 8th like we did in 91/92 as well.

I wonder if we've been found out a bit or do we just need Jack to make something out of the ordinary happen ?
