Sheff United 1-2 Man United: Analysis
- Published
Simon Stone, BBC Sport
On another day, against another opponent, Sheffield United would have won their latest game in the Premier League.
As was the case against Manchester City and Tottenham, Paul Heckingbottom's side competed for long periods, got a goal and fancied their chances of getting a result.
But, yet again, they lost.
It would be easy to feel hard done by. Cameron Archer forced two good first-half saves out of Andre Onana and substitute Rhian Brewster's fizzing shot also caused the Cameroon goalkeeper a major problem in keeping it out.
Is it harsh to suggest on at least one of those occasions, Onana shouldn't have been given an opportunity to save? Or was the issue that the Blades didn't create more chances?
The Premier League is an unforgiving environment. Clearly, there is time to pull the situation round no matter how bleak the table looks just now.
I'm just not sure they have the ability to do it.
