Nothing concerns me with goals conceded so far we convert our big chances. Nobody remembers the defenders that messed up as City conceded 2 against Palace, their attack scored 4 and collected the maximum points.

In both games City played vs Sheffield, they Scored 2 like your team but they didnt concede 2 goals like your useless team

Airmark how far with the temporary fix of benching Sterling?

nihilistjnr:


When I say your striker, I'm talking generally, not ascribing him personally to you.

Based on any metric, Jackson had a stinker. 15 passes all game is terrible.

But the most damning metric of all is 0 shots in first half, 0 shots in second half.

Which is why I said, people will see whatever they want to see.

But I didnt say anything different,

I said he moved well, linked up play and the likes, but he still needed goals - which we all know to be the main job of a striker.

He had a very terrible second half, but that first half was still ok if you ignore the goals bit. And I'm not going back on that

Chelsea should be investigated for match fixing

"So if we win our next 2 outstanding game we will be on the same point with man u"

Can't believe some people believed in poch😂

Imagination wan wound them

Vischy:


Who do you prefer to lead our attack next season assuming osimhen is out of reach.

Viktor Gyokere
Artem Dovbyk

I need to watch them well before concluding. Gyokere is an upgrade on Jackson for sure.

nihilistjnr:


Proof that people will see whatever they want to see. I didn't want to jump the gun so I waited till after the match.

I then went to check the stats.

Nicolas Jackson attempted 29 passes with a 55% pass completion rate. So he completed 15 passes all game.

He had 6 bad controls. The highest in the match...on BOTH sides.

Our striker didn't just have 0 shots on target, he did not shoot at all in this match. 0 shots on or off target.

But yes, great holdup, passing, and control

Team Teambros.

Jackson came through for him. The siamese twins from hell, sent to ruin the team.

January window was there, we still believed in Jackson to continue to be our top striker. Fvck it.

Pochettino should be allowed to complete his contract

We've gotten to the point where we're not even complaining that Jackson can't score against the worst defence on the league.

We're complaining that Jackson can't even SHOOT against the worst defence in the league.

A striker having 0 shots against a team that had conceded 20 goals in their last 6 games should be a criminal offence.

How any sane Chelsea fan that watched Drogba and Diego Costa would be comfortable, not to talk of hailing Jackson's performance, is shocking.

Make Osimhen sha no kill himself before summer window abeg. Jackson should be looking for a new club.

Someone should quickly help us with how many goals City scored against Sheffield at Etihad.

2 goals home and 2 goals away

Key qualifier in bold.

Imagine, first team not to have up to 10 attempts.

There was a through ball they gave Jackson in the box, just for him to surge forward and outwit the last man and pull the trigger, the dindinrin cut the ball back, waiting for other attackers to join up. The big chance evaporated in seconds.

I can't imagine Conte or Mou seeing these crappy attacking displays weekly.

Without their best midfielder and best striker on the field, they scored 2.

Check how many shots they had on and off target, and how many chances they created.


This is why I agreed with Trevor012 when he says penalties are masking Palmer's true attacking output. City dominated the match from start to finish, completing over 900(!) Passes, finishing the game with 81% possession, and firing almost 20 shots at the keeper.

They did not win because the kept cleansheet after scoring from a corner and a fortunate punt at a shït keeper.

They created chances and dominated the game.

I attend all the home matches at Sheffield United. My kids are in their academy and even walked out with the players as Mascots in the game against Fulham last week.

Week in, week out, rhat team is battered by everybody and anybody. E reach our turn now, and I'm hearing about cleansheet.

Kimbeast:

Halaand scored.

How many shots did Jackson have?

Even with how poor Chelsea was today we produced two goals which should be enough to see out Sheffield like City did but as usual our defense and defensive structure that has leaked in 52goals let us down again. We are basically starting matches 2 goals down before a ball is even kicked.

Nothing concern me with who scored. How many goals did city produce?

KDB didn't play and Foden didn't start, yet their best striker still scored. But your great Jackson was moving the ball away from box 6 to the corner flags, throughout, with no shot at goal.

Meanwhile, is your useless Sterling still our best attacker? Always praising wacks like they swore for you.

Disgraceful.

If Palmer doesn't turn up as expected, we are in for it. The boy must not get injured, I can't be wasting my time watching a Jackson's show that is not of Michael's.

And that's why it's an incredibly lazy way of analysing football.

Sheffield united have now scored 8 goals in 4 games. Everybody who has beaten them has had to outscore them.

They led Bournemouth by 2 goals. Led Fulham by 3 goals before VAR, and were drawing 1-1 with Liverpool in the 80th minute 3 days ago.

They were even drawing City 1-1 in that game.

What everybody seems to know, except for Poch and a lot of you on this thread, is that Sheffield are terrible defensively, and so the job of outscoring them is easy.

Sheffield scored the same 2 goals against Brighton this season, and still lost 5-2. Scored the same 2 goals against Luton and lost 3-2, scored the same 2 goals against Crystal Palace and still lost 3-2, e reach our turn now, and I'm hearing all kinds of excuses as to why we can't score more than 2 goals against a team that even Burnley have given 5 this season.

Damn, how my mighty club has fallen sha.

You are typing meaningless things. Kdb played in the first leg and they only scored twice like we did. City scored twice like we did and they didn't drop point because their defense doesn't concede like ours. Always arguing about nonsense like they swore for you.

All these are epistles. The two goals were enough to get maximum points today like City did.

At least we can say injuries to better defenders forced us to be using them Disasi and Broda Shile. Who is Jackson's competition as top 9 in the team?

I am ashamed that we have this type of attack that even Aston Villa's, is better than.
