That pass from Rudi was sensational. 

Finally we try going two up front. Long overdue.

Half decent striker on the pitch and he creates a chance for himself in 10 seconds.

Now have a look at yourself Tammy Abraham!

Pulisic is very poor tonight

Everyone has been poor but he’s looked the most likely to make something happen

 

Well I guess he wants 2 Forwards against there 3 CB's bit why Pulisic, he has been far more threatening than Willian.

That is a bit harsh. They are starting to fade off now, but they got us as high as 3rd with 4 games of the season to go. 

Really due to other top clubs struggling too. 

Our defensive record has to be one of the worst in the top 6. Games like this just show how much money its going to cost to get us back challenging. We need another 300 odd million thrown at the back line unless we bring in a new manager/coaching staff who can remind our players how to defend. 

Sheffield have spanked us. 

this is painful to watch 

Sheffield Utd look comfortable at the moment.

I Understand You Need Goals, But Pulisic For Giroud, Barkley Has Been Poor, Willian Looks Disinterested And Has Offered Nothing

Taking off PULISIC? WTF? 

Because he's just as sh*t as anyone today despite seeing more of the ball.

He played well against Watford literally a week ago?

What does play well mean? He was rated the worst player in blue, RLC & CHO were rated better and only played 34mins each.

- 0 key passes

- 0/2 crosses attempted

- 0 long balls attempted

- 1/2 successful dribbles and 

- lost possession 13 times.
 

Those stats are awful when you are the closest to the front 3. It comes down to he runs around & always looks busy without doing much.

Is it though?

Who from our academy actually looks like a sure bet starter right now? CHO and RJ were definitely the best of the bunch and look at them. Tammy is actually awful, Christensen is garbage and has been for 2 years now. Gilmour poor since the restart.

Not saying its just them, because our other players have been crap as well, but the people who were all over the "youth" and wanted them to start all games were living in a dream world.

I don't care how poor Pulisic has been, there's no excuse at all to take him off, he's a game changer and the only one we have....

WTF? Is Frank on drugs?

Questions need be asked of his tactics after today, been totally outclassed tactically by quite a few managers in PL this season

Well that's a different change

This is such a reactionary f**king post. Most people didn’t think we would be in the top 6 at the start of the season and now people are claiming it’s a failure because we’re fighting for top 4 with 3 games to go. Joker.

What youth player has consistently been good this season?

Don't understand the sub. Pulisic hasn't been great but the most threatening player out there.

If Frank wanted 2 forwards up top, then move Pulisic up to play off of Giroud. Those 2 combined much better with Giroud's superior movements compared to Tammy.

Abraham is genuinely one of the worst strikers to have started for us in the past 5 years, he is f**king terrible.

I'd argue Morata is actually better. At least he provided an aerial threat and scored headers.

so lets go long is the plan..

Of the eleven sh*t players though which one's most likely to score? 

another gift.

None of them do, but I never expected that to be case after their very first season at this level of football.

Maybe Frank thinks this one has gone, and wants to keep Pulisic a bit fresher for the last 3 games ...

Hate to say it : it is Sheffield who is likely to score again

As poor as the players have been today I personally think frank has to take most of the blame for the loss
