Subs: McAtee 2/10 – Another desperately poor contribution. He was awful on the goal (watch it back) and never got on the ball or offered anything at all. Off the ball he is really poor but he is not doing much when on it. I would not play him now. He is not going to be here. Rather Brooks or...

Grbic 4/10 – Not convincing again. Taking too long to clear and his pass did not help Anel at the end o the first half. His kicking continues to be poor – he barely got to half way on many? Second half I think despite the deflection he is really slow down and should do better. The two disallowed...

United – As I have said above, thought we did ok first half and as has been the case recent weeks, we competed, we got out foot in and did the basics well. We had one decent chance but they had an even better one perhaps but not much goalmouth action at all. We would have been pleased to stifle...

Very brief thoughts/report as quite tired after a long day in London yesterday where I drank too much, walked too much but laughed a lot! As always it seemed like the match itself was irrelevant and almost a nuisance in a good day out…more on that later. In terms of the game, thought 2-0 was...

Subs: McAtee 5.5/10 – Tried to get on the ball and a few ok moments but often he held onto it too long and got muscled out of it. Had a chance at 2-2 and took too long to get it out of his feet and make a decision. Archer – Had a hand in the leveller helping the ball on. Would have liked...

Ratings: Grbic 4/10 – Had no real chance with the first goal as the defence switched off and had little else to do in terms of saves. One tip over either side of the half which were routine. Still extremely hesitant on crosses and when coming off his line. The second goal I have no idea what...

United – Another encouraging performance in terms of commitment, togetherness and attitude. It was definitely a deserved point and for long spells we were as good, if not better, than an albeit poor Chelsea side whose attitude was questionable to say the least. They clearly have some talent and...

Late drama this week in United’s favour after a stoppage time leveller at home to money bags Chelsea saw the Blades get a deserved point after an another much improved performance where they matched their more illustrious opponents. Twice United came back from behind with Silva scoring in the...

Subs: McBurnie 5.5/10 – Actually looked a handful for a spell after he came on and had a half chance when he crosses the ball (could he have gone for goal?) but then they score and we are struggling to get the ball up to him. Silly yellow card and then we did not really get it up to him. I do...

Ratings: Grbic 3/10 – Started indecisively with a weird punch away when he could have taken the ball and had to push a shot over as a result. He then kicked one straight at them before an absolute horror show as he took too long and gave them a goal on a plate. All those who say his...

United – I never expected anything tonight but a good old-fashioned hammering so was pleasantly surprised that not only did we not get absolutely pumped but we stayed in the game, got level, and then gave Liverpool a decent game for long spells. We began really well and missed two great chance...

There were no surprises at Anfield on Thursday night as the team that ended the night clear at the top of the table saw off the team at the foot of the division. After some lop sided contests featuring the Blades this season, many fans would have been fearing the worst but United were well in...

Subs (will make as the game went on another 16 minutes after 90!) McAtee 2/10 – Chased around but the ball never stuck to him despite a few runs forward and physically lost out as players won challenges. He also gave away two stupid free kicks deep in United territory. Not sure I would use...

At least we had a game with goals and drama but it felt like a defeat. It’s so hard to analyse as the stats show we were battered but of course for that purple patch for 20 minutes second half we scored 3 (nearly 4) and had a real go; but in the end we once again showed a total lack of...

United – An absolutely ridiculous game. Well 2nd half at least. Came out with a mixture of emotions with anger, disappointment, and frustration the overwhelming emotions as like the Bournemouth game, we had the game won but threw it away. Some bizarre officiating did not help but neither did the...

A crazy game at the Lane on Saturday afternoon of the Easter weekend saw United and Fulham share six goals in a game where United thought they had led 4-1 with less than 10 minutes to go but after VAR intervened, were pegged back to 3-2 and then denied a victory with another stoppage time goal...

Subs – Souza 4/10 – Thought he was poor when he came on and did not improve on Davies at all. We probably hoped he would get stuck in, cut out the little passes and be a protector in front of the defence. The commentators were panning him for his lack of energy and not picking up runners. I...

Ratings: Grbic 6/10 – A game of two halves but still a weird one to assess. He was really good first half and made 4 or 5 good saves. Most I would expect him to save but a lot of those have been going in against him! He made a few smart saves from reaction shots and also came off his line to...

United – Weird one as we get a draw and any point we get these days is welcome as most games we lose and many we get hammered! So, to take a draw on the road at a side in mid table is of course a good result and before the game we all would have taken that, especially after Monday night. We were...

It was a point on the South Coast for the Blades at Bournemouth as United bounced back from the embarrassing evening at the Lane on Monday night and moved off the bottom of the Premier League table! However, after leading 2-0 with just over a quarter an hour to play, it ultimately ended up being...
