Tactical hiding from Chris Wilder here to Lampard.

Spot on mate. Let’s see what Frank and the boys can do in the second half. It just looked like CW knew exactly what was coming and made it look easy.

We don’t even look like half a chance at scoring let alone 3.

Frank needs to address his defensive issues he looks like he genuinely has no clue what he is doing when it comes to that side of the game 

If you look at our XI on the field. Who can you say is definitly good enough for a club that aim to be at the top in the PL? Maybe one or two.
The rest are either not ready or not good enough.

Again, again and again, DEFENSE!

Come on, there were so easy goals, first goal why didn't Mount just kick the ball out of the area?

Second goal, Christensen and Zouma standing next to each other and somehow the header comes from their space, how is it possible?

Why are we so kind to our opponents, we're so awful at the back, plus Kepa who I can't blame him but he doesn't give confidence, I'm not really feeling good when he's there, seriously.

Christensen's 4th sh*t show in a row away from home. And people wonder why I want us to sign Dejan f**king Lovren.

Seriously, what makes you think Lovren would improve us? He's w**k. Combine him and our defensive tactics and it's a disaster waiting to happen. You don't replace sh*t with more sh*t.

Next season we have Timo Werner aboard there should be no reason to play Tammy on pitch. 

Unfortunately Werner isnt a no 9 he played as a second striker in Leipzig. Half this team needs to be sold and lampard has to stop favouring the kids. Christensen ha been trash the past 4 games and he still starts and Abraham has been trash for the past 5 months. He has only had 2 shots on target in his last 9 appearances. He doesnt link up with his teamates and slips like he is playing on ice.   

 I AM SOO FUUUCKING MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

With The 2 CB's Neither Are Leaders

Slow Build-Up Play, Pulisic Is Trying To Do Something But He's Always Being Crowded By 2-3 Players, There's No Movement From Anyone To Create Any Space.

Go 3 At The Back And Push Pulisic Closer To Giroud, Because Abraham Has Done Jack

I swear if Sheffield put 3 past us I'm going to go nuts.

I remember us getting beaten at Bramhall Lane a few times in the early 90's. In fact we have a pretty crap record against them in general I think.

You mean a better  manager; can't convince me Sheff Utd have better players.

Not necessarily better players but a better team. Organised, drilled, mentally strong and work for each other. 

Not only is James an abssolutely piss poor defender he's also slow and far to casual/lazy for my liking. Massively overhyped for nothing more than doing OK at Championship level for Wigan.  Nowheere near the level we need so he's another one who needs upgrading

That’s got to be up there as one of our worst halves of football this season. 
 

Simple stuff at the back has cost us yet again. Neither Christensen or Zouma are good enough on a regular basis. We’re in desperate need of new CB’s. BUT, the bigger issue is Frank and Jodys organisation of them - we do not have the worst CB’s or back four in the league. Yet we defend like it a lot of the time. That’s on the coaching team as well as the players.

You could easily justify being the first team in a competitive game to make five changes at half time. Unfortunately we can't change Barkley, Jorghino and Mount as we don't  have three options on the bench. If we did I'd be minded to do so. All three awful. Surely one of them will be hooked.   Not a lot of point changing a centre half as they are all as dodgy as each other. Was it last week Zouma was now first choice? Now he is utter gash again. Could maybe bring on Alonso and put Azpilicueta into centre.  There really isn't anything surprising about this. We are bloody fortunate to have got the points we have since football returned as we haven't looked convincing in any of the games bar a spell of the City game.   If we end up not qualifying for the CL, especially if City ban not overturned, don't be so sure Lampard will be on charge next season. Abramovich is spending again and he might not be willing to give it to a manager who seems to be struggling tactically. I doubt the Chelsea ties will buy him much grace.     

It could also make you think that there's an issue with the coaching, why is every defender playing like piss? I've not seen any improvement this season from any of our defenders and they should all be improving, besides James of course. 

I'm starting to think there's more to this.

Even this Berge kid is looking good against us and he barely does anything

He's been by far their best player since lockdown ended.

Just as well go back to Villa in the Championship and score goals. I think he's in the grey area between being standout in the Championship but not consistently good enough for the PL

Abraham is the worst choice against this defence, he shouldn't be starting on current form.

So frustrating this, knowing full well Sheffield United can just soak up our toothless attacks with a 2 goal cushion.

He is the wrong choice. So painfully obvious. You don’t need one half to see that, many of us have before the match. So frustrating from Lampard.

Iam going to say that we will Get back into this game to make it 2-2 ,but i cant say what happens after that ,but can you do 11 subs during half time break 

Considering this is the 4th time lampard has gone up against wilder, im pretty disappointed with how much we lack a game plan. 

Shouldve either played our best possesion based team, and trued to limit them, or matched them up with the likes Rudiger, RLC and Giroud. 

We havent done either, and it looks more like 3 or 4 nil, than us getting something out of this now.

Disappointing to say the least.
