We play a game very defensive against Man City under Rafa, and that's how we play all the time according to the so called experts. Drives me mental how they ignore the second half of our season and how well we were playing. Everything judged on one game, which was a superb means to an end tactic to get something, or to stop our GD getting a battering.

How in the fuck has the ref monitoring VAR not even looked at the elbow in the Man City game, just ridiculous

I agree the set up and tactics are very similar to what Rafa was producing in the Premier League, well until Rondon signed and then it became much more. Rondon and Perez made us so much more up top than we see now, to be fair Bruce has got our defenders to start chipping in which is good, but Rafa's team looked more solid and with Rondon the team was much more than it was without him, and far better than Bruce's team now.

Sunderland went on to lose 3-1

Hope it's Neville and Shearer for Man Utd v Us game, that would be mint.

I don't think anybody is elated by having Steve Bruce as manager - some are just not opposed to giving him credit when his team does a good job. Not sure why everything has to be at the extreme ends of the spectrum at all times. It's the internet mate, you can't change your mind or go against the consensus, and ffs stay of the politics thread

I just can't hate him as much as Pardew, still don't like him much but my hatred levels will never ever get Pardew levels of death hoping.

When you were young Mr Wilder you were also told 'play to the whistle' that has never changed. Shove your south grapes up your arse.

But you're one mate

Not in defending they weren't

Brilliant tonight.

Their first defeat at home by two goals since they were in league one, you have to say well done like.

To be fair the ref played it on as well

A good tactical mind would get our wide players to exploit the space Sheffield Utd leave as their wide centre backs go forward, we unfortunately have Steve Bruce as that good tactical mind.

They've lost seven leagues game in one and half seasons and two of them were to us, aye we might have been lucky but you earn your luck and we've had some s**** luck in the past. Probably the same for most team like us who get something out of a game against them, you need to be lucky and take your chances if they miss theirs. We only beat them once last season? Aye you're right, for some reason i was so happy last night i though we won yesterday

Aye, i try to win and then bet the winnings from then on. I just have trouble with the winning part to start it all off

Yes guilbert booked £150 back I never doubt you win, i just wish i knew what you lose for balance. I’m about £600 up this weekend if that helps. For you it does, me on the other hand

There doesn't have to be contact for a foul to be given fwiw.

We would just lump it to Gayle anyways and win even less balls up the top, unfortunately old Brucie doesn't know how to changed things for the better.

Despite the name, do you need a cuddle poppet ?

What was great about it, we parked the bus at home for 90 mins. What's different this time? Probably Steve Bruce, i can't bring myself to want us to lose, i simply can't do it no matter how hard i try. Losing interest is the big thing getting at me.

What was great about it, we parked the bus at home for 90 mins. True but Man City push most teams into doing that.

Need to have this kind of determination against the lesser teams, no point in these kind of results if you can't do it against the teams around you. Rafa knew it more than anything not that the so called pundits will give him credit for it.
