Sheffield at home Match Day 30 Thurs 4th April

[SB]

I strongly suspect the average age on here is 70

WTF are you on about ?

[Buzzo]

It’s not really a discussion worth having tbh, but I think I recall you referring to city and the best team in the world whilst being positive after our draw.

That doesn’t sound like me at all! But I post so much ****e who knows?

I meant to say - you have been quite (for you - extremely) positive though! It’s unsettling

[Kenneth]

I’m definitely feeling more philosophical about it. Doesn’t mean I don’t get frustrated in the moment but you can’t be critical about the macro situation when we’re competing with city and being comfortably in the top four, given the relative resources. The club is in. A great position, irrespective of what we win.

Yeah, I agree with all of that. It’s 100% frustrating, and sport is, but where would we rather be? We had so many years on the outside staring in that we kind of have to enjoy being on the thick of it. Sport supporting is for dreamers.

****ing hell

"Dont deserve to win the title"

"Third best team in the league"

Jesus wept

Very weak support for the team there. Being negative is copium for some.

[DerKrampus]

We might not be the best team but we have by far the best squad in the Premier League.

The best collection of strikers.
The best bunch of youth players with first team experience.
The best goalkeeping options.
The best defensive option.

Arsenal's defence is excellent but if Saliba was injured again, they'd not cope as well.
Stones is out and City look a lot weaker.
Quansah has come in for Konate and it's felt seamless at times.

[rudedog]

One of those quotes is mine. I think we are the third best team in the league and I don’t think it’s a particularly controversial thing to think.

It’s a ridiculous thing to think, we are top of the league despite some of the worst officiating ever witnessed.

Coming out with this isn’t controversial, it’s cowardice

I’m too scared to accept our superiority.

[Kenneth]

This was outrageous:

[ChesterDave]

Be fair. The ref had a terrible position with all those players in the way and he definitely thought about it . Allegations he could clearly see and made his mind up before Konate hit the deck are fake news

[Mark79]

Ref waves it away as if to say ‘no penalty’.

What about the red card for Osula’s **** house leg snapper?

[Kenneth]

I think the Sheffield player was attempting to dive, pretending he’d been shoved back by Konate so flung his legs forward to try and sell it. It was reckless and dangerous.

Yup. Wasn't in the match thread much but posted about it. The foul on Nunez was as clear as day as well. United bought a few fouls from the ref during the game... he's absolutely ****.

[BigChief]

Delighted with the 3 points but annoyed by that performance. We should have put them to the sword and bumped up that goal difference, they are ****e.

It was the wrong set up by Klopp. Some of us warned before the game that playing Gomez when TWO genuine left footed LBs were on the bench (and could have rotated with each other if not completely fit). Gomez playing the inverted role in the box midfield offered nothing but sideways passes.

Even their jammy goal wouldn't have happened because Timi would have kept their RB and RM occupied on the touchline near their goal. Miles away from ours. And provided width to really open Sheffield up. Gravo and Gomez were excruciating to watch in this game.

100% believe we would have scored a lot more goals and a lot sooner. Hopefully Klopp will get this right against another ultra low block team on Sunday.

[Le Chef]

We were crying out for width last night, Gomez inverted meant very little going down the left and Grav and Diaz always looking to cut back in. Also, looked nervy at the back again
