Match Thread Sheffield United v Leicester (League Cup)

[SilverFox]

If you took Schmeichel, Vardy, Mahrez and Drinkwater out of our squad we would basically be a mid level championship side.

Shows how badly we got it wrong in our transfer business last season. Shocking to think of what we paid for the current team we are looking at.

 

[Brown Nose]

Ulloa metamorphosising into a total shit lump.

 

[Lako42]

Chilwell and Gray both playing exactly like they do for the England U21s, i.e. half arsed, 'entitled', expecting not to be challenged, strollers.

I think the U21s might actually be ruining them. A stint on loan in the Championship might wake the lazy twats up.

The same u21s that Gray scores regularly for and is often praised for his impact on games?

 

[fitz]

Maybe his replacement is ready to sign, as soon as Mahrez leaves. But it's odd that there hasn't been much speculation linking us to wide players.

Yup. Can't think of one we've been linked to. Slim and Moose alternating perhaps? Or Hamer?

2 of those have been absent for a year (ignoring the weekend gone for one of course)

 

[Jeff]

We've had 60% possession so far. That's far too much. We should give the ball away more.

That's the one. Are you seriously attempting to suggest that praise from the U21s means anything? It's like being man of the match in a testimonial.

Slimani and Musa are our best two players solely because they're running about a bit.

 

[Brown Nose]

There may be an ant nest in Musa's boot.

 

[londonfox]

I've been impressed with Slimani's linkup play.

Perhaps I am being a bit unfair. I think my badly made point is that we can't really look to anyone we signed last summer for strength or improvement.

 

[Lako42]

Slimani must be ****ing seething at this.

He works his bollocks off to get the ball and play it wide and then receives nothing in return.

Townsend?

 

[SilverFox]

I've been impressed with Slimani's linkup play.

I see they are trying to get him sent off.

 

[Robin127]

Andy?

 

[SilverFox]

Townsend?

That makes me unspeakably sad to think of him as a replacement for Mahrez.

 

[Speedy1]

Andy?

Yes, if that's short for Andros

Bet he wishes Albrighton was playing.

He does makes some stupid unnecessary challenges tho'.

 

[LCFC'sGodWears9]

Slimani needs to be taken off before he takes matters into his own hands.

Bar his disciplinary problem I've been impressed.

 

[Speedy1]

Quite agree. Just saying he's a wide player we've been linked with.

We have enough wide players who like to cut inside every time and then miss the target.
