Lack of quality has caught up with Sheffield badly this season.

Bar Fulham, tricky fixtures to be fair. I’ll worry if it continues much longer though
Sheffield are busted flush. A miracle if they finish above 15th this season.
I predicted 2nd season syndrome from the first loss against Wolves. It was blatantly obvious.
Their fixtures have been insane but this won’t have helped their confidence. I think they deserved at least a point vs Liverpool.
This and injuries to key players. A lot of people are just seeing the results and presuming the worst.
To be fair They did brilliantly last season. It’s a Championship squad at best.
If Sheff U had a good no9 I think they would dp a lot better. Struggling to score, but often play better than results show. They could also do better on the counter if they had more pace up front.
They barely scored any goals last season, but got through it with an exceptional defensive set up.
Henderson out, O Connell out for the season injured, surprise factor totally gone, and it was always a bad mix.
In fairness though, City at home isn't the time to write their death note. But all the other games have been.

That brought Brewster in for about 20m didn't they? It's a general lack of quality across the park now.
You know it’s bad when Man City haven’t had to make any tactical fouls 
Disagree with comments about strikers, they won’t score with this current set up. Could put Lewandowski in there and get same results.
If you equalize it's because they weren't allowed to bring on 11 subs.You know it’s bad when Man City haven’t had to make any tactical fouls
Sheffield allergic to crossing the ball today it seems...
De Bruyne's final pass has been quite poor today.
Great play by Berge. Reminds me of Matic when he runs with the ball.
Going to be hard to keep hold of Berge
Berge is a really good player.
Still only 1-0? Blades could nick a point if they finish strong.
Berge is great, but he has so much more in him. He can waltz his way past people and he has great pace. He should use that a lot more for both club and country. He is definitely made for bigger clubs though.
I like Berge. He is good player.
Hope he scores in 93rd minute.

Sheffield and Fulham pretty much bankers for relegation this season
He’s being pushed forward so he can do it more often. He was supposed to become our deepest midfielder but he’s shown his ability to drive forward and it’d be wasted putting him there.
I think they will
Remember when scousers said Brewster was better than Greenwood...
Greenwood would also look bad playing for us tbf
Blades only scored 3 goals this season so far, two of them penalties??
Shpenfield United.
Score for 1-1 from penalty, for all I care

The lack of quality in the Sheff Utd team is stark
He'd have finished that chance, regardless of whether it was offside or not. Brewster wasn't to know.
What's happened to Sheffield United? A shadow of the team from last season
McGoldrick to score a brace.
The Brewster terrible finish reminded me of Welbeck Vs Bayern
You’re in real trouble this season. You are actually getting chances too every game but not clinical at all. Your keeper is playing well though.
Important players out, not the easiest fixtures and just in bad shape generally. Thought our performance at Anfield was the start of something but
He played great as DM in Genk. But he was not often involved on the offensive. I agree with you. May be he just needs some time to adjust, but I do feel he could be a little more intensive and direct in his play. He does enjoy sideways passes and slow play a bit too much but is getting better and more consistent in general though.
Won’t panic, seen us in worse positions.
They lacked goals last season. Just defensively they were very solid. Now that has gone they were always going to struggle.
He’s a real bright spark for us at the moment
They deserve to go down for spunking that amount on Brewster.
How much did they pay for Brewster?
