[Albion] Gained or dropped?

[Zeberdi]

Who are the two people who voted a point gained ??

SU supporters

 

[Insel affe]

Can’t think anyone would see today as a point gained.

Had the play and chances to kill the game off in the first half and then a rush of blood from Dahoud and that was it.

Incorrect, we should have been two or three up by then, it should have been a foot note.

 

[Balls of Steele]

Did we gain or drop?

Complacent in first half when should have gone for kill. Was like attack versus defence training session.
Paid price and lost plot with 10. Defo 2 points dropped

 

[goldstone]

When we has all the possession in the first half we spent far too much time dinking the ball around at the back and in midfield with no sense of urgency whatsoever. We should have been pushing like hell for a second and third goal when we had them on the ropes. Stupid tactics.

 

[birthofanorange]

Wrong.

You see it your way, I'll see it mine. Loads of possession does not equal goals, as we've known for a few years. Sheffield came out to fight in the second half, knowing that our failure to put the game to bed gave them a huge lifeline.
They took it...we switched off.

 

[Milano]

Sheffield United were one of the worst teams I’ve seen at this level since we got promoted. Even with 10 men, we should have beat them so drawing against such a bad team definitely feels like a defeat.

This. I actually thought that they were worse than Luton. How the absolute f*** we didn’t win that. I’m guessing RDZ will not be a happy bunny tonight.

Yes, we should have been but SU did nothing whatsoever till the red card. Their only shot on target was after they equalised. 4 of their 5 second half goal attempts were after the red card. 4 of our 5 second half goal attempts were before the red card. We could have played another hour with 11 men and probably not conceded. The game turned on its head after 69 minutes.

Watch the second half again. They didn't have a sniff till we went down to 10.

 

[Home and Away]

It should have been a comfortable a win, but somehow we just didn't manage to score more. After the red card it was obvious that SHU would score any minute. 2 points dropped.

I’m not convinced that it was tactics, hence the subs at HT.
We played with 10 men for 65 minutes today, Buenotte was a passenger. I feel sorry for him, he’s not ready for this level yet.

I don't need to - let's just agree to differ, eh?

Such a poor performance. All over a very very poor side. Nothing to do with red card they just got in the game by us so often giving the ball away. Because they so often were given the ball so they could attack they suddenly thought they could win and looked more like doing this than us. Unbelievable playing a rubish side and steele instead of releasing ball quickly was lying on ball as if we wanted to hold on to a point. Why are we not playing a £25m plus player and inste4ad playing Lalana who has nothing in the tank. Against such a poor side we should have been pushing for a winner instead our most likely matchwinner spent so much time at LB

Did I not say we should have been further in front?

Because the £25m player runs his socks off and played 90 mins less than 72 hours earlier. We moan if players get injured and moan if their minutes are managed.

Yet Arsenal and Man Utd play 10 players that played midweek. Maybe knackered now but they both won

 

[Invicta]

Utterly chucked away 2 pts

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

I tend not to listen or take notice of things however yes, as you ask I could really eat a curry right now.

 

[Diablo]

Utterly chucked away 2 pts

Everton...Fulham and now Sheffield.

 

[oldboyroy]

Without doubt 2 points dropped after 1st half. Really need to turn our possession into more goals. Our injury hit squad is really struggling now and thank heavens we've got a break to hopefully get 1 or 2 back.

How can we ignore this thread before it is created every week?

Put Bozza on ignore? (probably not recommended!)
