I’d be amazed if he repeats it next season No, i don't think he is a world beater.....but i think he is a competent, consistent, operator. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Our midfield by not being aggressive make the entire back 4 vulnerable. Defending starts with the forwards chasing things down. Then the midfield winning the 2nd ball. We dont do that. Which then means the defenders are overloaded constantly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Guilbert has been playing in PL 6 months and doesn't know how to gesture/say he wants to pass on a man at a corner, I'd be worried. I’ve been in that exact position working abroad in the heat of the moment when not that strong in the local language so I’m not at all worried about him. It’s normal. It just means things should have been planned better in advance, but I can easily see how it would happen with a million things going on and 40,000 people yelling at you.

I agree but it’s taken him eight years in English football to get there. Our fans don’t have the patience to give some players eight months before we decide they aren’t up to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really isn't rocket science is it? spot on. When you look at the goals we've scored we should be mid table.

He's done well since and come back up the leagues as part of a good team. If we swapped Fred for George Baldock the Sheff U RWB, you'd be looking on at Fred with jealousy saying look how aggressive he is going to win the ball, while annoyed at Baldock struggling here because we don't have a midfield. your right, we don't have a midfield.

sne Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Enda Stevens has done amazing to end up where he is now, but he was miles and years away from that level when he was with us. A late bloomer who took the long way round to end up in the PL again. A couple of seasons in League 1 & 2 and then the Championship and now 5 years later he is in the PL. Good for him. Does kinda show why I'd like us to keep guys like Callum O'hare and even Andre Green around for another couple of seasons. Especially since they are academy guys and not on massive contracts.

Stevens always had technical ability but seemed lack the pace. Sheffield United system works for him perfectly Probably nowhere near the list of worst full backs in the last 10 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoring goals is the hardest thing to do in this division and yet we have illustrated, we are not bad at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
