Just can’t get going, they look more energetic

[robbiekeane]

wright must have a move lined up because all he wants to do is avoid getting a scratch it seems

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

We've got nobody to work the ball through midfield as Sheaf and Grimes just recycle the ball sideways abe backwards. It's ok to have one doing that but not two.

 

[Boicey]

Need Rudoni in the middle.

 

[ptr]

We have got to get in the box more….

So we can watch Haji not try and attack it.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Tats never seems to perform away from home.

We all can see it, yet he’s started again tonight for some reason

 

[Nick]

Pathetic from sheaf

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

The commentator on my stream is consistently calling MVE Dasilva, and it's annoying me almost as much as the game.

 

[Nick]

Why are we trying to cross to one player against 6 of theirs?

 

[chiefdave]

Every time we get the ball our first look is backwards, we only go forwards if there's nobody to pass to and they're forced to turn

 

[shepardo01]

Everything Sheaf has done tonight has caused us problems!

 

[shmmeee]

Fuck off Grimes shit corners

 

[robbiekeane]

we just win the ball back in their third with everyone in the area and we are desperate to pass it back. not sure what the tactics are here but it’s not working

 

[skybluecb]

We need to play quicker, tempo so slow and we are predictable

 

[Esoterica]

Thing is Sheaf and Grimes want to do the same role. With a 3 in midfield you usually need a 6, 8 and 10: the sitting midfielder (Grimes), an attacking midfielder (Rudoni) and a box to box midfielder. That's just not Sheaf's strengths. Especially against a team who have already shown, even at 0-0 in the first leg, that they are happy to sit in and counter attack. Now with a lead, that's happening all over again. Really expected to see Allen tonight.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Problem is we haven’t got anyone else to play there

 

[skyblue025]

All very pedestrian so far.

 

[Nick]

Floaty shit corner again.

It's as if lampard has watched highlights of everything that hasn't worked and gone for that.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Feels like so far were doing everything they'd want us to do. It's too slow, we're letting them get back into shape every time we attack.

 

[Hobo]

I'm just glad we tried a different approach from the one that didn't work on Friday.

That is a fair point. But would be better if you revealed your plan

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Floaty shit corner again.

Not sure why Grimes is on corners, Rudoni had been decent on them

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Dirty bastards!

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Fuck me, what a foul that was. And another. Fuck me. Cheating wazzocks.

 

[Seymour_East]

Come on people wear the Badge with Pride!

 

[Nick]

That's a booking for that on sheaf. Surely?

 

[bigfatronssba]

I love how some on here think that Lampard has told the team to play bad

 

[covboy9]

Both teams get stuffed by Sheff Utd anyway

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Why did Wright bakc off from that when it came back into the box?

 

[shmmeee]

Every time we get the ball our first look is backwards, we only go forwards if there's nobody to pass to and they're forced to turn

Love Rudoni but he’s fucking criminal for this.

 

[Evo1883]

What am I watching from their players here

 

[ptr]

Grow up Thomas ffs. Get him the fuck off what is he doing

 

[chiefdave]

ball coming towards Wright in the box so he runs the other way

 

[Nick]

I love how some on here think that Lampard has told the team to play bad

No, it's more that the approach is the same as Friday

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

We’re going to get a red card aren’t we

 

[Hobo]

Not sure why Grimes is on corners, Rudoni had been decent on them

Probably because of Rudoni scoring headers
