Aston Villa 1-1 Sheff Utd: What Wilder said

  • Published

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Being greedy, and the manner of their goal as well, [I wanted three points] but we'd have definitely have settled for a point before the game.

"They've not really opened us up, we lost it in the build-up and allowed the boy to drift into the box. We're disappointed with the manner of the goal because you get so close and you have to put in so much effort. To give it up at the death is disappointing.

"You're learning about these players who are going into the Lion's Den on a Friday night against Villa who can go top of the league. We've had players out and selection isn't easy.

"We changed the shape, we tried to make it difficult and uncomfortable which we had to.

"I thought Cameron Archer was outstanding. I said to the players, the amount of coaching sessions we've had, we will be better. The more work we do on the training ground. It's a team that has been put together very quickly in the summer. There's plenty to work with with the players and this result gives me great hope."
