You'd think City were winning 6-0 the way ESPN are going on, truth is they've been all fart, dull as dishwater.

Had to score there Murphy

Northern rail coming in clutch!

Tbf I expected them to keep it tight and try and go over the top of us but they came out windmilling and promptly tasted the floor.

I feel attacked

Go on Bruno lad!!

Miggy!!!!

Unlucky Almiron

I know it's only Sheffield United and they've been poor, but we look like we've got our mojo back, confidence is high at the moment.

How much space did he have? That was tragic.

Get in Wilson!!

We've absolutely destroyed these, I think the 3-0 flatters them somewhat. I hope the second half doesn't fizzle out and we give them a good go.

Because, not just in football, people are lazy and lack independent thought, they hear something enough then it must be true.

Ffs Brentford, you had one job!

It's definitely going be a tight game and they'll be inviting us on to try and break them down, which we will struggle with. We should have enough quality to win if we click. Can just see the media frenzy and fan break down now if we don't though, instant crisis alert.

Loved that, from nicking the loose ball right up to the header making sure she was getting there before the defender.

Great goal by Bronze for the lasses

Think this is a lot tougher than it looks on paper, they haven't lost by more than 1 goal this season and have scored against City and away at Spurs. They'll make it tough for us to break them down. We should have enough to win but it won't be the walkover we're hoping for and a draw isn't a terrible result.

Not sure how this has happened, took them ages to confirm this one, then they voided it and refunded me, now its showing as lost?

Only a couple of times I felt like they could do something, Pope knocking the ball back into danger when he should have collected and towards the end of the game when our left hand side was non-existent. But I still felt anything coming into the middle was going to get smothered, it was a real bodies on the line performance. Even then that weakness on the left gave them courage to push forward and we nearly walked away with the smash and grab. And good, I like it when they all think we're crap/lucky/undeserving because they continue to undervalue us. Milan at home will still be a tough game because I think they'll sit deep again and want us to ask the questions, I just hope the other group games are more open as it seems even our own supporters think we can't attack.

I don't think I was worried at any time that we would concede, it was a dogged, if a little ugly at times, display and we were determined not to let them through.

I think rather than be worried about our attack we should note the defenses we have played. Villa opened up because they thought they had the attacking ability to beat us and we punished them, City is the outlier, we just couldn't get a hold on the ball they're just too good. Then we have Liverpool 11v11 we had the measure of them and would likely have gone on to win, but they went down to 10 and sat in a low block to tire us out and it worked. Then Brentford came around and we're happy to sit deep nick the 2nd ball and hit us on the break. Then tonight Milan, there was large swathes of the game where they allowed us possession and hit us with the break too, Tomori was an absolute wall, it wasn't until we started to tire that they pressed high up the pitch and it nearly cost them. We don't have the players, nor the ability to unlock a deep defense either with quality defenders or a well drilled back line, it was a problem last season and continues to be a problem now. All the teams we've played so far bar City have been happy to allow us to have the ball up to the half way line and ask us to break them down.

I'll say one thing, I felt like the game was going a lot better when I just watched it and didn't follow it on here

Warmed up, then cooled down just stood there
