Strange season.

It will make it all the harder to bear if we dont win it

I’m not expecting to, we just don’t get the decisions.

What I’m driving at is we had two golden opportunities in the last 5 mins and both directly at the goalie, they should have both rattled the net, that’s the difference. Sterling, whilst his goal record has been impressive by any standards over the last three seasons, when the big moment comes along like CL QF last year he missed a literally open goal to draw us level, ok Tuesday wasn’t as big but a very important moment and all he had to do by instinct is nod either side of the goalie....3 points instead of one. This is the difference, and whenever he’s through 1 on 1 I’m never confident he’s going to score and most of the time he doesn’t. He has great skill but is weak minded.

I totally agree. We should’ve taken all 3 points against Brom, let down by poor finishing. This is we’re really missing Aguero. Even though a little older he can still drag the defence apart and score from anywhere in or around the box. Don’t get me wrong, we have some good players but only one that I would call a natural finisher, all the rest are a couple of levels down.

Have been giving a lot of thought to our performances this season, I have been very critical of team selection, lack of the use of subs ( even though pep wants five not three) missing chances and in some areas lack of desire.
However, I think we all agree this is not a normal season, disjointed pre season, no fans at the games, stupid international breaks which has lead to a congested fixture list. All these issue have contributed to where we are, I do believe we will improve overtime, I do not think the team needs major surgery especially with the emergence of Stones and Dias, clearly we need a striker and left back. If we secure those two we will emerge out of this just fine.

You can see why SU are doing so poorly.

Their goalie and the rest of the backline is terrible.

Any team that blows money on dipper rejects like Brewster deserves to go down. They might challenge Derby's 11 points this season!

£23M for Brewster and even though they can’t buy a goal he barely plays. That’s a sackable offence right there.

Be gobsmacked if you can still get a bet on Sheffield to be relegated. It is a certain thing as can be that they will go down, it’s just a question of when and by how many points

How they thought Ramsdale was the answer is lost on me. And the fact that they’ve got a 33 year old trying to run the whole of the oppo’s half rather than playing your new Liverpool wonder boy just tells you all a loud that sale.

Another blunder from Ramsdale for the rag's third.

It's truly baffling how dippers get so much money from their rejects. They squeezed something like 20 million for Ibe as well. While we let Adarabioyo go for something like 2 million.

Somebody definitely got something for those deals.

Turned it off, mate. Sickens me when I see some of these keepers having worldies against us but are so pathetic against others.

Me too. Both rags and dippers seem to have deals with the devil, looking at how often the opposing defenders and goalies blunder against them.

That being said, Sheffield United might be the only 3 points that pretty much any team is guaranteed right now. They are having a historically bad season.
