Saints vs Sheff Utd - Match & Reaction Thread

[adrian lord]

Yeessss!! Che!

[OttawaSaint]

Adams is really starting to show his confidence. Nice little Cruyff turn there!

 

edit, and now he scores!

[SNSUN]

Need to patient and keep playing our game but a goal before half time would settle some nerves, especially with the crowd there.....

 

Was what I was typing when Che scored!

 

Goaaaaaaaaaal!

[Plastic]

nice

[trousers]

Yay

[OttawaSaint]

Bednarek with the assist off his back!

[nta786]

Trousers don’t tempt fate just yet with the league table!!! 😉

[Suhari]

Adams!

(Scuffed it though).

What, this one...? 😂

[BotleySaint]

Excellent goal. One of those odd angles where he just needed to steer it goalwards and keeper is never going to react in time. And he did!

Che deserves that for all round contribution. Blades should cleared that but Che anticipated. Danny buzzing about. Stu starting to find his pace and range a bit more. Second before HT would be good

[trousers]

Superb run from the 'unfit' Armstrong there...

[OttawaSaint]

Tell you what, had Salah scored that the commas would have gone ballistic. Great skill to pick that ball out of the air and into the goal.

[OttawaSaint]

No card for that? Ankle breaker!

[bpsaint]

Refs a bit of a joke, another yellow not given

[Sheaf Saint]

No card for that either?

[Plastic]

Some commentary with an actual insight into Ralph's approach rather than just lazily trotting out the 9-0 statistic. Appreciate that.

Wonder if it’s the sash? Great to see us up there. 

[trousers]

I reckon Djenepo would run rings around this Sheff Utd side. Expect him to get at least 20 mins

Delightful little backheel and turn from Ings there.

[OttawaSaint]

We are playing some lovely stuff today. I know it’s Sheff Utd but I feel nervous at 1-0.

[OttawaSaint]

The front 4 are so dynamic. Seen all 4 players on the left wing so far, the passing, running and interchanging is a joy to watch.

[Sheaf Saint]

Does anyone actually remember Chris Wilder playing for us?

[OttawaSaint]

There’s our weakness though, gorgeous passing but Stu overplayed it and Utd broke and had a decent chance.

No, when was this?

Was just thinking this.

Him on at 65 mins will bring something extra to us. Hopefully we're out of sight by then!

Was just firing up Google for that.

Can't remember it at all.

[obelisk]

Saints so much on top that 1-0 is not really a good reflection. Sheffield are bound to get at least one more reasonable chance though so don't make it easy by giving away stupid free kicks that let them lump it into Saints box.

Here with Benali in youth under Merrington

Okay I will let you off, it does look amazingly good🔥

[Jeremy Corbyn]

Che has been brilliant, hes so good at receiving the ball around 30 yards out, turning and playing a clever ball through. We have a very good front 2.

[whelk]

80% possession. Never known that

He never did, he was released without making an appearance. 

[itchen]

I'd much rather be watching the play but the Sky director thinks looking at Chris Wilder is more interesting. 

Anyway, feeling pretty confident now we have the goal.

 

[Shroppie]

Won't be happy until we get at least another one. They'll get chances

[whelk]

Like this Sky presenter lady

[qwertyell]

Playing okay - much better on the ball than we were against Brighton. Armstrong back in some form.

Not sure this is a game for Walcott. Someone a bit cuter on the ball - Redmond/Djenepo - is probably more appropriate for a very defensive, solid opposition. Vestergaard has been our most creative player, FFS.

Sheffield haven't offered owt, but while it's only one they're just a mistake/set piece from stealing a point.

Fans in good voice. No groans. Yet.

Let's get that second and bank the points.

[badgerx16]

Jannick Beckebauer has been excellent.

[hypochondriac]

I will be so so disappointed if we fail to win this game. 

[Saint Pete]

Good half, very dominant but we need that second goal.

Djenepo could be a useful sub today as Sheffield defenders tire. May be sensible to bring Ings off midway through 2nd half and not stretch him too much so soon after the injury.

[ButtikonSaint]

We're certainly bossing it, would be good to get a few more to bring up the goal difference. Maybe we'll see some youngster like Salisu or Nlundu if we're comfortable by the 80th...

They will be wanting to stir the Klopp/Wilder pot but can’t wait until full time.

Let's get another one or two first

[NewYorkSaint]

So great to see Che Adams shine. Pretty sure he's going to become a Saints legend.   Our dominance has been almost comical. And yet such is football, the score could easily have been 0-1. A couple of goals early in the half pls!

[OttawaSaint]

Been watching Adams closely and he’s really clever with his runs and his touch and close control is excellent. We’ve got a really great player on our hands here.

[Sheaf Saint]

McGoaldrought coming on.

[wadesmith]

As some people on here said ‘Sheffield are in a false position’...fortunately for them there isn’t a position below 20th.

[BotleySaint]

Usual second half start for us. Totally different team. Really must stop having a 3 course meal at half time ..
