Allardyce view on the game from BBC

"We have lost on penalties at the end of the day.

"The fans know we should've won the game. We haven't been outplayed by Sheffield United, they made life difficult for us by playing that defensive unit. That is well within their rights when they come here.

"We opened them up time and time again with patient, good quality football, but at the end of the day the end product deserted us - in the main due to their goalkeeper."


As i get older my eyes don't work quite as well as they used to , but fuck me my eyes must have been playing alot of tricks on me tonight if Allardyce is to be believed in the above statement!

That man is a total fraud.
Unbelievable.

Re: Allardyce view on the game from BBC

He's gone a bit too far there, again, as always...

1-0 us in 90 minutes would've been fair... Don't think we deserved any more than that... We'd certainly done enough to have beaten Sheff Utd...

Still, we were fucking awful in extra-time... Didn't even pose a threat...

Out of one competition, already... We probably won't last long in the FA Cup either...

Re: Allardyce view on the game from BBC

I'll say it again.

The players treated this as a training game and when it came down to a serious match were unable to up their tempo.

Reid was the biggest disappointment for me, totally did not want to be there. If that is his attitude then let him go.

Allardyce is a bafoon, by now we should just expect the bullshit.

Re: Allardyce view on the game from BBC

He talks so much bollocks its untrue. We opened them up time and time again?!

Other than the goal, we created one very good chance for Valencia. That was it. I don't know what game he was watching.

From half time onwards the team totally lost their way and didn't seem to know how to break Sheffield United down. We were too deep and too slow shifting the ball around. And as per usual, we lacked any creativity.

Do chances created matter now then?

Taking Sakho off and replacing him with Downing was the turning point.

Clueless.

The midfield had no idea how to open up a can of tomatoes
Fucking clueless,

Re: Allardyce view on the game from BBC

Allardyce is bang on with his assessment.

We did open them up countless times.

Our final ball was wank.

Re: Allardyce view on the game from BBC

No, we didn't.

Re: Allardyce view on the game from BBC

I had the torture that is radio commentary, but it sounded like their goalie made quite a few saves and their defenders made loads of last ditch blocks on our shots, so it didn't sound like we weren't creating chances, just that the Blades were more willing to bust a nut than our boys.

Re: Allardyce view on the game from BBC

The more the game went on, the more desperate we became and the more they looked like winning it, in truth.

Re: Allardyce view on the game from BBC

Oh well no doubt this thread will turn in to:

BFS Haters v's BFS lovers - as fuckin usual!

I have to say I did not see any of the game but I am extremely disappointed that we could not beat a league 1 team especially as it was Sheffield United.
The Carling cup is probably our only realistic chance at silverware as the bigger clubs take the FA cup more seriously.

BRANDED 10:03 Wed Aug 27
Re: Allardyce view on the game from BBC

We fucking well didnt. Not in a way that anyone would recognise as opening up another team's defence. There were loads of times when I could see a massive hole they could dribble into to create an opportunity and they'd just pass it sideways or backwards. It was fucking gash.

Re: Allardyce view on the game from BBC

Just to bring some balance to the topic, pre match comments on here were totally arrogant. Sheffield Utd had fuck all to lose, we on the other hand act all Billy Big Bollocks like its going to be a stroll in the park.

In a previous post i stated that this cup is there for there for the winning by any Premiership club that commits to it.

We didn't commit to it by playing a weakened team. We shouldn't therefore expect to win the fixture. The egg on face is totally deserved and yet another poor management decision. What an embarrassment.

Re: Allardyce view on the game from BBC

I wasn't at last night's game so cant comment. I was there when we lost to Wigan & Aldershot at home in the same round & they were woeful performances after loads of changes. Now as we were well beaten Semi Finalists last season with a full strength side, allegedly. I wonder if this theory of 'Get out the Cups quick & we'll finish in top 10' win over the Dildo twins !!!!!

Re: Allardyce view on the game from BBC

Thats bollox

We played well and completely outplayed the opposition

the biggest problem was 2 very rusty front men in Valencia and Sakho. I know he scored but between them they missed a number of very good chances

It was one of those nights and nothing more

Spot on Lard.

Re: Allardyce view on the game from BBC

AL It was one of those nights and nothing more.....

We seem to have more of these than i care to remember.

It was a division 1 club to put it in perspective. They should have been put out of sight in 90mins. Accountability is with the manager.

Re: Allardyce view on the game from BBC

Allardyce is correct. We were superior with a new team. Their goalie had to make at least 4 brilliant saves. We should have been 3 nil up at half time. 2nd half we were not as good but Sheffield united defended like men possessed. Diving head first into shots.

Nigel clough should be a pl manager in my opinion. Only a matter of time.
