I sense I might be in the minority here, but I thought we were quite good in that half. Seems like only a matter of time before we score. Robbed by, in many ways, the worst decision of the year: it hit his back, he was pushed and where was our free kick?

I dunno if we've been as bad as people are making out, same faces saying the same things even if (winks) isn't playing.

Final third has been disjointed, but we've been the better team and find ourselves 1-0 down. Undeserved but that's football.

VAR - lol.

The problem with VAR is that they've set it up with rules totally outside the spirit of the game.
Yeah - VAR as a concept is absolutely fine. The problem is we have stupid jobsworth pricks running it who don't understand the joys of football. The kind of person who becomes a ref is antithetical to the spirit of football.

Knee-jerk o'clock in here as per usual.
Obviously something to knee jerk about though isn't there? Why go to a match thread if you don't want to read people's emotional responses to a football match. Masochist.

I'd like to see Lamela and Ndombele come on second half. If Sheffield are going to sit back and defend we need clever head-up players on the pitch the pick the right passes

The application of the laws of the game is so inconsistent that they may as well switch to FIFA No Rules mode...

I really don't understand VAR... They can give a handball in the build up to a goal because Moura was pushed from behind and someone kicked the ball at him while he was falling, but they can't award a foul for the same push that caused the handball?

Talk about a load of shite. Seriously need to revise the rules, taking all the fun out of football when you can't celebrate until 5 minutes after the goal was scored.

Very frustrating half but we can win this. Ignore the var bollocks lets just keep at them.

Least Moura is looking to run at them, unlike Son

Moura’s working hard but gets swamped by Sheff U players.

Son and Kane have been very poor.

Bergwijn looks very dangerous when he gets the ball but he’s rarely had it.

Lo Celso and Sissoko are out numbered in the middle.

Going forward we don't look too bad. But the final ball from out wide is shocking, (If Aurier can't put in a decent ball, then whats the point in him). And defensively we are shit.

Not gonna pay for footy next season. Watching VAR completely ruin games just not worth the frustration.

I was coming in to say we were playing OK and are incredibly unlucky to be behind.

But apologies for having a level head.

Bloody hell even Jamie Redknapp thinks it’s wrong-just said it’s the worst decision he has seen

Ridiculous decision and poor defending for the goal ( lack of a quality DM highlighted imo).

We haven’t done well enough though in the final third. Plenty of opportunities, but poor touches and poor final balls etc.
