Former Sheffield United striker Carl Asaba spoke to the Blades Heaven podcast after Sheffield United's 2-2 draw with West Ham on Sunday: "I think it's one of the best ones [games] we've played with the ball, patterns of play and players interacting with one another with the ball. I think we were really good and deserved more first half.

"The second half was a bit more laboured, the energy went and we changed the style of play. The one thing that sticks out is the courage and 'never say die'. It was going against us but they stuck in there.

"The manager is going to be bitterly disappointed and see it as two points dropped. We were the better team, we played very well and you're playing against not the strongest West Ham team. There's plus points to take from it and the boys have got to draw confidence.

"The way they played, their understanding game by game of the way the manager wants them to play and how well they can play - it's chalk and cheese the way they are going about their business at the moment."

On Andre Brooks, Asaba added: "The one word is outstanding. He's running so hard and getting back for his team. When the ball is at his feet, he looks like he's played 200 Premier League games. He is looking so accomplished, he was the best bit for me. I was upset he came off!"
