Match Threads Sheffield United vs Spurs - Match Thread

[The Opinionated Lurker]

The club is finished as a Champions League contender, let alone league for the foreseeable short to medium term future imo. The only reason I hold off on adding long term is the hope that ENIC might just sell in the next decade. But the boat has well and truly been missed, and it’s mediocrity from here on out

For Kane’s own sake he has to leave we ain’t winning owt anytime soon.

Compare him though to the big lump at the other end, McBurnie. He's been an absolute pest, challenging for everything and chasing everyone down and getting his reward for it and making something happen for his team and dragging them to a win.

People can say Kane got one, should have been two, goals and that the poor guy cant do anymore and should leave, but in the meat and drink of the game where it counts that wasn't anywhere near giving it your all as is opposite man demonstrated. If he was giving absolutely everything for the cause I'd have sympathy, but his loping and moping effort was nowhere fucking near good enough and he's as bad as the rest of them as far as I'm concerned.

And if Sky think I'm going to also illegally stream the Liverpool game after that they can fuck right off

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Brutal, time to clear the decks, we need a new young team,built from scratch, cash in on everyone,including Kane, there's no hope left with this group of individuals, soft touches

Dont see how losing the best goalscorer we've had helps.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Look at the stats from this game.

Chris Wilder is better at being Jose Mourinho than Jose Mourinho is at being Jose Mourinho.

 

[cider spurs]

On the plus side...games coming thick and fast, so not too long to wait to right wrongs, or have our shit status truly confirmed.

 

[walworthyid]

We need to start again. Get rid of jose and sell some players to raise funds. Then we get an energetic young manager in and enjoy the ride.

Jose could have possibly been a success with the peak spurs team of 3 or 4 years ago, not now.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Stop it with the Poch pining - that reign was terminal and not getting any better!

This. Poch lovers are back constructing the narratives yet again.

 

[WhiteStripe]

Please please please fuck off out of my club Daniel Levy. Fuck off Joe Lewis. You are a cancer on our club. You believe you know what the fans want. Well the real fans didn’t want a fucking 60k stadium that looks good but sounds shit and costs us on the pitch for years to come. Give me cramped corridors, dodgy bagels, creaking seats, poles that hold the roof up any day. There used to be a football club over there. Now there is just a bald ****s business venture. Don’t try and elevate us to a level you’ll never let us achieve on the pitch.

2nd goal was a disgrace. Guy on the touchline ablut to cut the ball back or accross. You are meant to have 1 cb in line with the ball and 1 marking the striker. Both of them did NEITHER

You cannot blame any manager for that shitness

 

[hutchiniho]

We beat ourselves, they didn't break a sweat.

just seems so lathegic. One pace I’m defence and attack.
No ball pressure to close Sheff Utd down and tap tap tap tiddly tap with the ball

 

[Ron Burgundy]

That's it - I'm done with this sh*t show of a season.

Laters all, I'll come back here to cheer when we scrape 12th at the end of next year....

 

[WiganSpur]

Our worst performance of the season.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

how the fuck is it his fault if the players don’t do their jobs. Explain that to me?

Nsy

Alli has looked bright since coming on.

 

[SonicSarr]

No point changing the manager. Change the bald guy.

There are some terrific players out there that look totally unmotivated, uninspired and played in the wrong formation. I was all for giving Mou a decent roll of the dice but have seen absolutely nothing positive as yet. I'd pull the trigger now if I were Levy (And if we can afford his pay off).

Theres no movement in the attacking third, a hallmark of Jose at United.

 

[Saoirse]

Are we seriously going to start screeching that this rot started when we got rid of Poch?

Really?

Levy and Poch’s arrogance, complacency and sheer incompetence in the transfer market over multiple are where this decline began.

It accelerated in Poch’s final year (one away win in almost a year, remember that?) and no manager is going to turn it round in a short space of time, the rot has sunk so deep.

We need wholesale change, beginning at the top. And we do not need fucking Poch back, no matter how loudly the hardcore Pochettes scream and shout and wear their collective memory loss on their snot-drenched sleeves.

If the squad's so shit, then I'd rather have the manager who took those shit players to a Champions League Final than the one taking them to the bottom half after having more than £150m spent on improvements.

 

[shelfboy68]

no champions league money will kill us

I think levy has beat the CL to it.

 

[spursfan77]

I wonder what Poch is thinking right now

Why didn’t I push for players in summer 2018, let the squad go stale and keep faith with players rather than moving them on?

 

[ginola007]

Hard to see Kane staying beyond next season.
