Matchday thread - Toon v Blades

[Colly]

Possibly one of the least deserved 5-1 wins of all time, genuinely fortunate that Sheff Utd are as s*** as they are. Bruno milked the crowd as standard but had a poor game generally, giving the ball away repeatedly and trying to force things that just weren't there instead of having some patience against the worst team in the league. Scoreline absolutely glossed over how much of a stinker Livramento had too, repeatedly caught out and again very poor decisions throughout. Appreciate he might not be fully fit (don't play him!) but not good enough. Thankfully Isak awake, and the opposition woeful.

Totally disagree. Classic rope-a-dope tactical master class. We've done it a few times this season

I agree, but also on the flip side their keeper stopped it from being even more of a drubbing.

Also, while you say other players have had a bad game I'm reliably informed by the internet that it was all Longstaff's fault

[Colly]

There are points in games where Bruno will play a pass straight out for a throw in and get a "Bruno!", while Longstaff will fail to control a misplaced pass and get booed. Bruno is obviously a brilliant player but the double standards on basic stuff is ridiculous, the last thing he needs is a pre match ego boost.

On the "their keeper kept them in it" they had two very good chances first half (both Schar and Burn beaten easily on 1 v 1s) that decent players would have buried, we were lucky not to be 3 or 4 down first half. They collapsed second.

[beatski]

Oh yeah, first half was a shambles and they should have been out of sight by half time

Agree on the double standards for players too
