Topic: Half time: Sheff Utd 0-1 Liverpool

[medley]

Macallister barely touched the ball for about 20 minutes. Really needs to do something different to get on the ball more. Need him as a conduit into the front 3 as the ball is sitting with our centre backs a little too much and asking them to create something when that's not their skillset 

[Zlen]

I really like Endo.

[Rosario]

Unleash Nunez. Their defenders are far too comfortable at the moment.

[Ski]

So annoyingly expected - they take a few seconds to look any any infringement on our players in the box but take minutes to try to find anything to rule out a goal when we score.

[lgvkarlos]

Another one of these performances away from home against a crap team, passing is so sloppy .
Endo has looked good again.

[KevLFC]

I was thinking before the goal that we were due a corner goal. Not sure why but our corners have been shite this season compared to other seasons

[theboyspen]

Has anyone ever got an assist with their arse crack out before?

[duvva 💅]

Been a struggle but think most thought it would be. Keep scraping, keep the energy up and the second will come. Then maybe their heads and intensity will drop

[ShrewKop]

Always tough playing against a team with a new manager, even if that is Chris Wilder. They have that (old) new manager rocket up the arse.

[blamski]

Mac has been quiet, but he's been the one actually trying to create things and play quickly when he has got it.

i think Mac is struggling after that studding he got early on.

[jacobs chains]

They've given everything they've got. We should just crush them second half.

[Adeemo]

Making it look a lot harder than it should be.

[naYoRHa2b]

Just a few things I'd like us to do second half.

Get Tsimikas on as Gomez has little to do so might as well get someone with a more attacking instinct.

Get Mac Allister off for someone who is a bit more mobile higher up.

Tell Mo to shoot, as in hit the ball with a fair bit of pace like he does penalties as he keeps passing it it the keeper.

Just in general pass the ball to other footballers feet is they can, for whatever reason they keep passing it two foot away

[lgvkarlos]

I really like Endo.

👍

[TheMissionary]

Would love for Sheffield United to not manhandle our players at every single set piece and get away it.

Lower league teams are allowed to do that, it's in the rules.

[Draex]

He's Virgil Van Dijk!

GOD MODE ENABLED!

[Clint Eastwood]

Lacking quality at times. Virgil's great though.

[Caston]

Cracking ASSist from Trent.

[Drinks Sangria]

Would love for Sheffield United to not manhandle our players at every single set piece and get away it.

Gakpo and Van Dijk have both been fouled in the box on set pieces but not even a mention.

[Bobinhood]

Just got to crack on from here.

[Funky_Gibbons]

Awful first half performance.

[MD1990]

Poor overrall.
We need from our attack

Darwin is quite the miss

[Fitzy.]

Making it look a lot harder than it should be.

Freezing cold. Midweek in the middle of a very busy schedule. Opposition with a new manager. It’s not an easy gig tonight.

[Red Ol]

A bit of builders by the corner flag

1 nil to the arse …

[Buster Gonad]

Another one of these performances away from home against a crap team, passing is so sloppy .
Endo has looked good again.

When you say Endo do you mean Trent?

[Jm55]

I’d get Endo off fairly swiftly purely as he’s now on a yellow.

Being either Jones or Gravenberch on and drop MacAllister back into DM.

[Cesar]

Mad how a stamp on macs knee isn't a booking, but endo winning the ball is

[lgvkarlos]

Awful first half performance.

The poorer the team the worse we play, it's really odd.

[killer-heels]

We are in control now. Let’s not give out any Christmas gifts.

[StevoHimself]

Pretty typical of our away form ie flat and very uninspiring. Think we could have created a few clearer chances if the final ball had been a little better. Not having that Virgil's goal should have been disallowed given how physical their yard dogs have been while defending corners.

Get a second and you'd like to think that'd be it, but I suspect we'll need a second.

Highlight: Trent's arse

[The Test]

1 nil to the arse …

Dull match, but loving the half time anal-ysis

[Ma Vie en Rouge]

Lacking quality at times. Virgil's great though.

Co-comms on my stream was giving Virgil advice on how to defend... apparently Virgil needs to learn that "the ball is the danger".

[farawayred]

I want a goal from Joe!

[Redknight60]

Lots of space down their right but difficult for Gomez on his wrong foot. Think Tsimikas would get a good bit of joy on the overlap.

[Mister Flip Flop]

Dragging us down to their alehouse level. Kicking our players left, right and centre yet the only player booked, a Liverpool player 

[Pistolero]

Decent performance overall.....we looked increasingly focussed and determined as the half went on...this will end up 3-0 ..with Darwin coming on to finish them off. ..
...good to hear Clive Tyldsley commentating again, very good as always....shame he has the dullard buffoon Michael Brown alongside him - the only positive is that he doesn't talk much, but unfortunately when he does talk, he talks bollocks...

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Co-comms on my stream was giving Virgil advice on how to defend... apparently Virgil needs to learn that "the ball is the danger".

Haha.

His defending for that Sheffield United breakaway was incredible. Cut off every possible pass to make the striker shoot, and then still managed to get across to block it.

[lgvkarlos]

When you say Endo do you mean Trent?

No I mean Endo, if you want to post about Trent feel free 👍

[MD1990]

Mac Allister struggling to get on the ball as an LAM but he hasnt played there much.
Not seen Diaz beat a full back consistently in a while for us he was brillant for Colombia

[Bobinhood]

Has anyone ever got an assist with their arse crack out before?

Few parties back in the day, absolutely.  scored a couple too.
