The fact that most of this lot are supposedly on performance-related pay is quite incredible LOL. Obviously the basic salary element is still too high by about 90%  🙂

I don't understand why we're being coached to play the ball this f**king slow. We've got 3 pacy forwards and we're playing like it's a 45 year old+ charity game. 

You still think we have talented young players 

Safe to say you don't understand much.

We're in control we just don't have the quality to break teams down, we've seen the same story 20+ times this year

Awful half, not only shouid the management team look at how they have set us up, but the players have been atrocious.

Where is the will to hunt down the ball, chase and harry the opposition ? Where is the desire to play forward at pace and turn the opposition ?

This has all the hallmarks of.a smash and grab by Sheffield, and if it happened no excuses we only have ourselves to blame as so often the case this season.

Appalling for professional players.

We've had the majority of possession but done very little with it. Sheffield United look dangerous on the rare occasions they get forward. Need to see a significant improvement second half.

We're not though, if we were, we would register a decent chance and shot on goal.

Mate, f**k off

Still think we need to put Palmer as our 9 and leave Jackson (who's been shyte again) on the bench

Also need to leave Silva out - he's back to arm waving and trying to manage the game from the back which just takes all the pace out of our attack and gives the opposition time to organise etc.

Just dreadful again to be honest.

You cannot play Jackson as the Striker - he just doesn't have the brain for it.

Not so sure we even are. Sheffield looked like they had some dangerous crosses/attempts.
 

All this possession and nothing to show for it again. Just offsides and balls not beating the first man. 
 

 

Mudryk may offer pace but he is frustrating in equal measure and a liability defensively. Not to mention Sterling then has to get moved to his unfavored right wing. I would move Sterling to the left, Palmer to the right and bring on Nkunku.

I feel like I've watched this game about 50 times in the last 3-4 years, and I know how it goes.

This is just piss poor, the quality in the team is sure better than Sheffields but the effort just isn't there whatsoever, they look like they can't be bothered. Jackson I'm already getting fed up with, Mudryk putting in a typical performance, Sterling having another off night. Palmer has been pretty anonymous, the midfield duo hasn't been terrible but they're not making the correct passes when a player makes a run. 

And 4 defenders in the back 4 just makes our attack extremely flat and predictable, no overlap nothing, allows Sheffield to crowd our wingers. That's not Pochettinos fault of course, but my god we need something in that 2nd half if we want to win this game, and we need to win this game. We're losing too many points.
