This is where I didn't want this game to be at this point.

Fitz* · 06-12-2023 10:22pm

Blow it up ref

SlickRic · 06-12-2023 10:22pm

I maintain that we've tried to 'manage' this game and our energy levels.

Extremely dangerous game.

tinpib · 06-12-2023 10:23pm

Sheffield United clearly out for revenge after paying over 20mill for Rian Brewster. It's personal for them.

awec · 06-12-2023 10:23pm

Stop with the little back heels please.

Yea I'd say your right there. We seem to be ramping it up every 10 minutes or so and then taking the foot off the pedal and allowing SU to have the ball.

Since Mac Allister went off it seems that we've lost a little control and composure in midfield as well.

theoneeyedman · 06-12-2023 10:26pm

I don't think I've ever seen as poor a performance on the ball as Joe Gomez tonight.

He's been shocking.

awec · 06-12-2023 10:26pm

Emphatic finish. Thank goodness!

citytillidie · 06-12-2023 10:27pm

Goallllllllllllll

TitianGerm · 06-12-2023 10:27pm

Thought he was getting sent off there but puts in a super ball instead.

patsy sally · 06-12-2023 10:27pm

No panic lads done and dusted on too the next game

Osmosis Jones · 06-12-2023 10:27pm

Nunez finally assists someone other than Salah

Utopia Parkway · 06-12-2023 10:28pm

Szobo was really good the last 20 minutes there I thought. Seemed to find some of the energy he had the first 6 weeks of the season.

Darwin gets an assist at the second time of asking.

tinpib · 06-12-2023 10:28pm

great tenacity from Darwin there, think most players were expecting a foul to be given.

noodler · 06-12-2023 10:28pm

Just as I'm screaming at Nunez for losing the ball when Sobo was free, he tackles, wins it back, crosses and Sobo shows the test of them how to finish

facehugger99 · 06-12-2023 10:28pm

Nunez you sexy beast!

Marty Bird · 06-12-2023 10:28pm

Lovely from Darwin.

Sheff Utd have been getting away with tackles like that all game

happyoutscan · 06-12-2023 10:29pm

A big 3 points!

Nunez contributes once more.

He's a bit of an enigma.

hynesie08 · 06-12-2023 10:29pm

Beat Palace, then do not start a single first team player in the Europa, give them 8 days before we eviscerate United.

Fitz* · 06-12-2023 10:30pm

Get in! Big win

Thought Endo was good, big energy and running from Szoboszlai and VVD was standout.

Utopia Parkway · 06-12-2023 10:31pm

Not a great performance but this time of year when you are playing every weekend and midweek you just have to dig out wins somehow.

noodler · 06-12-2023 10:32pm

Endo impressed for sure

Always wants the ball and isn't afraid to play it forward. Too many of Elliott's passes are backwards by comparison.

happyoutscan · 06-12-2023 10:32pm

3 points.

Endo with a fine game. He's a starter for me against teams like this. A proper DM.

Clean sheet for Kelleher

Not pretty but effective.

SlickRic · 06-12-2023 10:32pm

Van Dijk.

Best in the world again.

Ottoman_1000 · 06-12-2023 10:32pm

It's a bit of a mad one, Nunez obviously has his own issues currently, but we look completely crap up top anytime he's not playing! We dont look anyway threatening without him....

giveitholly · 06-12-2023 10:33pm

It was all about getting the 3 points tonight. Hopefully MacAllister's injury isn't too bad

eigrod · 06-12-2023 10:34pm

Delighted with that. Van Dijk back on his perch as best centre back in the World. Our front players are a bit meh at the moment but that will change.

kingshankly · 06-12-2023 10:35pm

just seen somewhere there was a CRACKing ASSist from Trent 😂

rob316 · 06-12-2023 10:36pm

A slog of a watch but another good win. Instantly improved when Nunez came on and szobs started getting on the ball. Van dijk individually is back to his best.

Fitz* · 06-12-2023 10:38pm

That's the thing. We looked totally devoid of attacking play for the first 60 mins. When he came on, his running in behind actually helped create opportunities.

Game state helped too tbf as Sheffield United had to push on.

I guess Klopp knew that and rotated accordingly to get the best 'finishing' forward on the pitch for the last 20 mins like they do in rugby now. Take advantage of that game state

Mr Crispy · 06-12-2023 10:38pm

Is the match on anywhere?

giveitholly · 06-12-2023 10:40pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121464107#Comment_121464107

It was only about a week ago some people were wondering why we signed him and how poor he is,has proved invaluable since then. Everyone should know he isn't the answer to our problems in the no. 6 area,but will be crucial going forward

Fitz* · 06-12-2023 10:40pm

Tsimikas got his rest.

Salah some rest

Nunez some rest

Trent held back second half tonight too. Saving himself some bit.

Gravenberch / Jones as subs.

Lots of injuries but there are a small number of rotation options for Saturday morning.

happyoutscan · 06-12-2023 10:41pm

It's over.

giveitholly · 06-12-2023 10:42pm

Fulham taking their frustrations from last Sunday out on Forrest tonight

I thought it was total league ban, I noticed Gomez just using is jersey. Iirc Delap use to try and hide the towel under his jersey;)

SuperTortoise · 06-12-2023 10:47pm

Not pretty but job done.

VVD the stand out, Endo done well, we're going to have to rest TAA at some stage.

patsy sally · 06-12-2023 10:48pm

Villa going 3rd at the moment by looks of things

huey1975 · 06-12-2023 10:48pm

Villa one up against city

Ottoman_1000 · 06-12-2023 10:48pm

Palace got beat 2-0 at home to Bournemouth too, hopefully that's a sign of their performances to come this weekend!!

Charlie19 · 06-12-2023 10:49pm

Villa💪

klose · 06-12-2023 10:50pm

Was always gonna be a tough slog of a game after wilder came back for em, so a 2-0 result away from home is a good result, some pretty meh performances around the pitch not least salah and diaz, gomez and konate had some ropey moments too.

Thought endo was quietly impressive, always available for the ball and moved the ball nicely. We move!!
