AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I’m not confident we’re better than Sheffield United personally. We’re really bad. Obviously we’ve had better results, and we have some better individuals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 We're better than Sheff United man What are you actually basing it on? We have better players than Sheff United, that's where it stops. Sheff United have ONE point from 12 games. :lol: Yep, their players are rubbish. We've managed 5 more shots on target than them, and had .4% possession more than them. That's despite our players being much better. But you only have to watch us to realise that we play the worst football in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Just a difference of opinion lets wait and see. Good run of games going into the New Year. Think it's going to be looking really ugly for us afterwards. We are absolutely terrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Obviously there’s not much in it, we’re both shit. Our "front four" cost around £110m. We're having to be compared to Sheff United. The Bruce impact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 This is the hatred of Bruce and the team seeping through. It's not objective. It's emotional. I've seen Sheffield United play all season. They're dire. Scored the odd goal from a corner and that's it. They create nothing, they have no midfield, and they always concede at bad times. Their game against Southampton the other day, if the Toon played like that, this forum would have been deleted for crimes against football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bruce impact. It's so humiliating man The way Leeds rocked up having just come up and decked us 5-2. Genuinely can't believe what's going on at this club.

STM Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 "They/we are only good because of X player," is a terrible point to make. The whole point of this game is to sign players who can make the difference. If you want to compare our players to Sheffield United, fine, but I reckon we are pretty much better in every department. Steve Bruce is to blame for everything you see on the pitch and Mike Ashley is to blame for his appointment, this has been the case for 2 seasons now.

So swap McBurnie for Wilson, you don't think that has any impact whatsoever? We'd still be 14th and them 20th? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Rafa proved that a good manager can make players perform to a higher standard than what you might think was capable. Leicester won the league with a team of players that cost £23m. Kaka's point is that Wilson is the reason we're not competing with Sheff United for bottom place. Your last line is right though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Only this Board could argue that Sheff United, on course for the lowest points total in Premier League history. A team that has gained 0.08 points this season, a team that hasn't kept a clean sheet, a team that has scored 5 goals this season, and never scored twice in a game. Only this Board, could argue, that they are better than Newcastle United. Wow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are saying that we are better with them ONLY because Wilson is saving our arses. A point you clearly disagree with. We may as well not have a manager. Our players "should" be better than being compared to teams destined for relegation. But we know you don't care. Performances mean nothing to you. You just want to survive in the league.

The rest of our team excluding Wilson has scored 9 goals. 4 more than Sheffield United. But Sheffield United play better football and create better chances??? It's madness, absolute madness.

KaKa Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Loved the way Bruce criticized the defending for the glut of goals at the end of the game, as if it had nothing to do with him Does he know he is culpable for that at all? We never saw these border line unprofessional performances under the previous manager in comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Genuinely worried this morning cabbage head will get us relegated and blow out any last ember of hope of a takeover. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game where we’ve been so comprehensively taken a part and a manager has said we were in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
