[Albion] Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Triggaaar]

He gave a yellow card for one of the worst tackles we have ever seen. How is that getting the major calls right?

In the ref's defence (and I reserve the right to U turn) I don't think he could see how bad it was from his angle.

 

[Zeberdi]

Anyone else genuinely angry about that tackle? I mean I’m glad it helped us, but it was really nasty. This has already been posted but…

Look where the ball is FFS

Yes of course.

Commented up thread even before the booking that a Red was not enough and that it was a disgraceful tackle which could have been a career defining injury for Mitoma. The player should be fined for such reckless endangerment of another player. Goodness knows how Mitoma managed to get his other leg out of the way.

After that, I wanted Mitoma out of there altogether tbh - Sheffield play like brainless thugs who spend so much time trying to cultivate the dark arts that they don‘t even notice when their defence is feeding goal opportunities to the oppo - like feeding bread to a flock of seagulls, in fact.

I bet we are still last on MOTD

 

[pb21]

I don't think McAtee was play acting

 

[Thunder Bolt]

We won 5-0 , which is great
but I wish we would be more ruthless, it was like a practice match
if their goal would of been allowed, they are back in the match and from there anything can happen
please can we close out a game as soon as possible , then take your foot of the gas

Five - Zero. Clean sheet. Their goal was offside.

The game was closed out and ruthless. Just enjoy it.

 

[US Seagull]

It’s quite worrying, that had it not been for VAR the ref would’ve given a yellow. Hard to imagine what on earth the Sheffield United player was trying to do with that tackle.

Sorry, misread your comment. As you were

 

[WATFORD zero]

This glory hunting stuff where you keep winning more than you lose and scoring lots of goals is quite good fun isn't it ? I may get used to it

Tough crowd.

No need to try and BazBall our way to 5-0 at half time.
The goals were always going to come later on with minimal risk/effort if they just kept the ball.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Well Man Utd have Harry Styles shown up to watch them. So... you know. Priorities

They just did it again

 

[Eric the meek]

What a pleasant Sunday afternoons viewing that was. It's a big ask, but wouldn't the icing on the cake be if Luton could do the honours?

You can ask, but you don't always get what you ask for. Some years ago, I asked for a night with Angelina Jolie, but I didn't get that either.

 

[Triggaaar]

Not sure it was a career ending tackle for Mitoma, it was on his thigh rather than his knee or lower leg. It could had certainly caused a bloody mess though.

Well obviously it wasn't a career ending tackle for Mitoma, because his career didn't end, he carried on playing. The point was that it could have been if Mitoma had weight on his leg. It was luck that meant he wasn't injured, but the nature of the tackle was bad and it could have caused a serious injury.

 

[Cordwainer]

He actually did get the ball. But with his other foot!!

You’re right..am sure more by luck than design though! His right foot was raised to knee height to achieve only damage to Mitoma.

 

[US Seagull]

And they've just said it's the first time they have seen Hard Core Fan Harry at a United match

Season tickets are expensive. Give the kid a break

That's a shame, as she was happy when I asked.

 

[pb21]

if their goal would of been allowed

If they had scored six valid goals they would have won. We need to be better and make sure this doesn't happen.

Lewis Dunk on Sky Sports:

"A top performance. Obviously they had a man sent off and it made a difference for them and harder for them. Once it went to 10 men we played right, played properly, got our chances, and killed the game off."

"Sheffield United are dangerous in transitions. We knew that coming into it. We saw that when we were sloppy on the ball. It can be hard against 10 men because you can have too much time and start forcing the ball. That's when it's dangerous. I thought throughout we controlled the game really well and scored some good goals."

 

[StonehamPark]

Yea yes, 5-0, good stuff, well done boys.

But, what in all that’s well and good, was THIS?!

 

[oldboyroy]

Oh well, Luton concede after 37 seconds

 

[US Seagull]

We finally have a solution to lower half teams and their low block.

Just have them get a man sent off

 

[Triggaaar]

I've celebrated two goals today

But none of us celebrated a single goal against Palace, remember?
