“Just for a teeny bit of context; beating Sheffield United isn’t for everyone.”
“I’ve got to say, I didn’t think Sheffield United were terrible. Dunno what they’re like week in and week out, but they’re by far not the worst team we’ve played, I’m not sure what they’re doing at the bottom. Some of their build up play was decent, and they worked hard in defence.”
“I can see why they’re around the bottom, but I’m used to watching teams put everyone behind the ball and they did that well, and when they did break I thought they played some tidy stuff until they got to the final third. They weren’t spectacular obviously butthere’s plenty of teams we’ve played who have been worse. I don’t have to think about them again now, though, best of luck to them because they need it with that points total. “
“Sheffield United are a very hard team to play against when they are like this, but jesus we made hard work of that. Great win, but a tough watch. Not sure I’ve seen us create so little in a game.”
“Sheffield United are a good team”
“Sheffield United are a very decent, stubborn side”
“Truly awful spectacle, but great 3 points. Nearly shat myself when Fleck struck that shot at the end.”
“Fair play to the blades, I hope they stay up, especially for putting the rags in their place at prawn Trafford”
“ Have to give some credit to Sheffield Utd for defending quite well. Their keeper made a few good saves too.”
“Happy for the win because Sheffield defended pretty well but we were all sideways. Missed Stone’s passing from out of the back and Cancelo popping up in random places. Not many teams batter Sheffield so don’t want to get too carried away but we were pretty passive today”
“Good win against a well organised side.”
“A bit of a non event, credit to Sheffield for making it hard for us but we never looked threatened”
“Always tight against SU. 3 points”
“Bit dull. They defended very well.”
“Great 3 points against the Great Wall of Yorkshire”
“Never looked uncomfortable without ever looking entirely comfortable!”
“really boring game. i seem to just recall constant passes across the halfway line. Decent win though, clean sheet, move on!”
“Bloody awful. 90 minutes of my life I won’t get back. 3 points. Top of the league. But my god that was dull.”
“Sheff Utd as expected defended for their lives with all 10 outfield players behind the ball and then just went to long balls up the pitch near the end.”
“Embarrassing from a team that is way off of the pace and still park on the bus even though they are getting beat”
“They really do know how to suck the life out of a football match”
“Sheff made it a bore fest.”
“Sheff United were absolutely shocking and literally had zero intention of attacking until the last 5 mins”
“They had absolutely nothing upfront, it’s easy to look good defensively when teams play a back 5 and everyone behind the ball. They basically had one chance which was a volley from outside the box. Even against United their winner felt like the slowest attack of all time, just a good job United’s defenders are even slower!”
“Teams like Sheffield United still think this is the old City with Otamendi, Garcia and Old Stones at the back where if you keep it tight and 1-0 you have a chance for a draw at the end.
Its not the old City. You don’t have a chance at 1-0. ““Remember Wilder v Rags. They have world class players. Wilder v Us money money blah blah
lets see if he does the money card again today”
“They were a set of big lads and physically dominated us for spells ,and kicked the crap out of us when they couldn’t. I thought they kept their shape , passed the ball well and competed hard sometimes fairly.”
“Another win, this time against an obdurate and skillfully dirty team ”
“Such a dirty team”
“No injuries despite their best efforts.
Crap ref.”“Good win against a very well organised team of thugs. Can’t understand how they are bottom given how shit for e g. Albion are !”
“Bunch of cloggers, but not surprising when allowed to get away with it by a myopic referee. Dirty Baldcock should have had at least 4 yellows.”
“Could have had 2 pens.wtf re foul throws. How many fouls on Foden? “
“How Foden isnt on a stretcher tonight i’ll never know…..their game plan was clear and the ref allowed them to play it out.”
“Wins a Win but not a great performance but considering one of the most corrupt officiating performances and we were playing 15 it will do.”
“sketchiest prem ref I’ve ever seen, truly suspect, stone faced corrupt mo fo”
“That ref was as corrupt as they come.”
“Thought the ref worked his balls off today to try to even things up.”
“ref tried his level best to give them everything.”
“I couldn’t stand another second of them two pricks willing Sheffield United to score, outrageous commentary once again.”
“that’s why they’re going to go down. Can’t understand why the commentators were praising Wilder. Not only is it terrible football, it’s also extremely ineffective as evidenced by their position in the table.”
“Getting really tedious playing games against teams like Sheff Utd , no ambition , no football , just survivalists , its all about the Premier league money , no entertainment value at all , wouldnt cross the road to watch a Wilder team , no doubt he will be moaning about some decision after the game or the money we have spent .Just go and f*ck off and get back where you belong in the Championship , just wasted nearly two hours of my life watching a tedious boring football team who offered nothing . Cheltenham gave us a better game and showed more bottle than Wilders shower of shite.”
“Surprised teams that like to park the bus dont get called out by the premier league etc. As this style of football can only damage the premier league selling point. Who wants to watch that ?!”
“appreciate the difference in players ability , we have spent millions but surely a manager has to improve his players no matter what level they are at , play a system that atleast enables them to get past the half way line , would rather witness a team playing more expansively and losing 2-4 than just accepting a 0-1 defeat before they even kick a ball. Managers like Wilder and Allardyce are dinosaurs.”
