Re the goal kick - I thought that the cup game and Bournemouth Fab looked uncomfortable kicking the ball. He looked better on Friday and ironically injured himself.
Martin also didn't look comfortable kicking the ball, some of his kicks were short and not to anyone in particular and he threw the ball out quite a few times. I honestly don't think he wanted to take goal kicks at risk of injuring himself again (back quicker than Fab) and took the short kick because of that. It was poor, and I think the generals reaction to the kick was also poor. I am sure Diop would have recovered that one.

Re: Sheffield United v West Ham United: Match Thread
Yup they were.
That game was our season in a nutshell.
A total goalkeeping/defense error led to them scoring. We played some nice, neat and tidy football that never actually went anywhere. Players got frustrated and ended up hoofing the ball. We finally managed to score and VAR/Stupid Handball rule went against us.

The palm of my right hand is lacerated and bleeding with my vain attempts to clutch at straws but did anyone think McBurnies goal might have been offside ?

The report that I read was on here. Take your point about people heading for cars and hotels DocDoc H Ball wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2020 10:02 pm Eh? They were heading to cars and hotels. The vast majority didn't go by coach.
I've not seen any news reports - can you put them up?

ricarlison Walcott calvert lewin against our defence. ricarlison against zabaleta should be close !
tom davies siggurdsson in midfield will run rings around noble and co. rice must be hoping for a move to man utd in January to improve his euro chances !
2-0 to everton and a toxic toilet bowl by half time.

Disagree with that Crouchie. A draw away from home is a good result for the majority of teams in this league, including us.Crouchend_Hammer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 9:40 am We didn't have a shot on target until 77th minute
That is irrelevant anyway, it is more about the mindset. The managers/ players should not be thinking that a draw is a good result
Pellegrini's win every game mantra was and is naive and ultimately got him the tin.

Re: Sheffield United v West Ham United: Match Thread
I am not saying a draw is a bad result in isolation
I am more saying that the attitude that a draw is a good result is not right
I dont like Gary Neville at all, but I agree with him that that type of mindset is a not a good one
If you go into games thinking a draw is a good result, or accepting it is, then you can become scared to try and go and win it. Loss Aversion is a very important behavioural influence

Re: Sheffield United v West Ham United: Match Thread
I thought Neville's comments were ignorant.
We have no right to beat anyone. If I've learnt anything in 45 years it's that.
Sheff Utd are having a fantastic season. When we came up last time we came 10th and beat a number of 'good sides' along the way.
Our current form is very poor. A good result at B Lane would have been a draw.

Think Rice's comment has been taken too far. Had the goal stood it would have been a good draw. Had Lanzini squared the ball instead of shooting that would have been a good win etc.
Sheff Utd are 5th for a reason, we are where we are for a reason. it would have been a good draw.
