***Match Thread | Sheffield United v Manchester City***

[Nick]

Agree mahrez our worst player

[johnny crossan]

City will have featured on BT Sport for 5 consecutive days by next Tuesday - FA Youth Semi last night v Blackburn, Sheff Utd PL today, Womens Cup Final v Everton tomorrow, Youth Cup Final v Chelsea on Monday and then Olympiakos in the CL on Tuesday.

I have to mention Kyle Walker again, what a player this lad is, fucking beast of a man, pace to spare, might end up his best season this

[nottsblue]

Tough fixture this one. Don’t underestimate Sheffield, especially on their own turf. They are due a win and will be fired up for this one.

Be very happy to see a scrappy 1-0

Not quite as scrappy as envisaged but have to be pleased with the result

[s1ty m]

Mahrez is beyond words. Full on grind was that but it's 3 points. Defence looks more stable, Walker excellent and Dias not done anything wrong since arriving.

But Mahrez, I've given up on him.

Got to love BT. Just seen Michael Brown, you’ll remember him, the guy who made it through our Academy and went on to complete nearly 100 games over a 4 year period, but they somehow don’t have that caption and only refer to him as ex-Shef Utd player.

Am I being too soft or is it BT being disrespectful fucks again?

Especially after the first 30 second's it looked like they had thuggery as their game plan. Glad to.see Dias not intimidated at all by McBurney

He started the Gillingham 99 game. He’s a big part of our history.

Proper crunch tackler he was!

[aaron bond]

Good win today.

With so many fixtures at the moment, the key thing today was to get the win.

Defence was solid for the most part which was great to see. Torres led the line well and seems like he can be a good option up front whilst Aguero and Jesus are injured.

Mahrez isn’t really earning his place in the side. Foden should be starting ahead of him.

And we don’t need to play Rodri and Gundogan together. One of them is enough and the rest of midfielders should be attack-minded.

Him and Tiatto are my favourite ever City players.

I know, mate, cannot fathom why they wouldn’t have it on the captions.

Is he a blue btw I couldn't remember- sure he is?

Not sure, but randomly Michael Tonge that he played with at Sheff Utd is a City fan.

Could be wrong, but think he is a monkey hanger

[zuricity]

I think Pep is only playing Mahrez,giving him so much game time, because of our schedule and the injuries we have . Keep racking up the points with a weakened team . I don't think Mahrez will start against scouse next week.

Offload to Marseille or PSG if they are sniffing around .

Get Messi in , in January and that should keep Kun here for another year . Still our best striker by far - needs to get his fitness back.

I really hope that Aguero does get his fitness back and starts banging them in again. He is probably my all time favorite player, in my top 3 at the very least. But for the first time ever I have a niggling doubt that he won't. I so hope I am wrong.

Not sure what to think about Messi. Signing him in January would be mental. Not sure he would start in front of Mahrez on current form though
