“has there ever been such a pre match build up thread? Judging by their comments and posts on their threads, are they and us trying to start a new rivalry. I’ve never really thought or given two hoots about Sheff Utd since that infamous day at Wembley. We’ve played them a few times since of course but nothing to write home about.” “Outfought and outplayed!They had so much desire and fight that we weren’t just losing out on the second ball but the third fourth and fifth! “They didn’t’t stopped and we didn’t start.” “the better team won.” “Their tactics were good. Ours were abysmal.” “What a shocking game – a very poor advert for the PL.

My hat goes off to our fans who paid to watch a team that did not seem to be trying.” “Both teams were really awful.

If that was it, football would be dead. “

“Look at Norwich and Sheffield United, when a player has a ball, the rest of the team are making good runs forward, providing options and creating overlaps. We didn’t do that once today, completely clueless going forward. Playing McCarthur and Luka in a narrow midfield always meant it would be difficult to get the ball out wide, we had nobody dropping in between the lines to give people options and no one to carry the ball through midfield. And we still might lose Wilf.Better team won today but they are nothing special and the fact we struggled against them so much is truly worrying. “The worst game of Permiership football I have ever watched. Ashamed for all connected to the club.” “They were terrific today. Well organised, pressed with intensity won near all ariel duels, Hats off Chris Wilder “Sheffield gave us a coaching clinic, coming out with a well executed plan that plays to the team’s strengths, as opposed to our 90 minutes of boring, inept, disinterested crap.” “Arguably our worst performance since promotion and they just managed to win. They are fighting for survival that’s for sure.” “Out-muscled and outfought by a team totally up for it.”
