Blades Vs Chelsea

[Grappler]

Well we managed a great comeback in the away leg, hoping to go one better and win today.  No easy games in this league but our "pre-lockdown" form seems to be coming back, fingers crossed.

1-0 to the Blades and the first Premiership goal for McGoldrick. Up to 6th..

Can we halt the season now please?

Now 2-0. Can this get any better?

Oh but wait it's only half time!

Well, it did get better and ended 3-0. Best result of the season, so far.

Super, super Blades, super Sheff United. Gu on you red and white wizards.

Well done Blades, you made millionaires Chelsea look ordinary.

Disappointed by some of the commentators not giving Blades players enough credit, “journey men players”. Absolute tosh, good players!

[Moistened]

Beautiful.

Blades 3 Chelsea 0

The Moose will not sleep tonight after that miss.

McGoldrick, on the other hand, will 🙂

Chuffed for McGoldrick.

 

McBurnie, (who I've been critical for most of the season), has put another shift in.  The icing on the cake in the last few games would be to see Sharp get a couple to take him to 100 goals for the Blades. 

 

Today's stats, Chelsea, 74% possession, 4 shots on target, same as the Blades, yet we end up with 3 goals.  Clearly it's what you do with the ball when you do have it. 

 

Quote from Lampard from BBC website;  "They were better than us physically, in the mind and with the ball. So you lose the game. They were stronger than us. You feel and hear every noise and all I could hear was Sheffield United voices. They are a good team. If you come here and perform below par this is what will happen.". He doesn't have a great record against Wilder does he?

 

Well done Wilder AND Knill.   Maybe the pundits will now admit that not everyone of the 'big boys' are having an off day when they play us? 

 

Note to Blades.  Get a double bid in for Norwich's Pukki & Hernández.

Aside from Mousset, who I believe is still probably our best striker, always looks like he's capable, speed and ability with the ball, CWAK, seem to prefer British and Irish lads, not sure Pukki and Hernandez would fit with the laddish ethos of the club. Forgot about Berge who is going to be immense next season.

 

Osborne is giving Wilder a headache given our best player is not currently in the team.

 

just need Luke Freeman to get a run of games otherwise he'll probably be on his way. Has to be unluckiest player at the club, seems a nice bloke as well

Another good result yesterday,  Didsy getting off the mark,  you wait for a bus etc!. Osborn has come in and been excellent, wouldn't drop him for Fleck atm, his workrate is tremendous. Its a pity that this team has to be the best in years, yet we can't go and watch them!
