Game is on SN by the way. Interesting. They have a decent gap on 3rd with a game in hand and should keep automatic promotion bar a collapse (and aren't catching Burnley). And have McBurnie and captain Sharpe on the bench who have both played more than him this season. Hopefully means they are going for it and he is there because he worked his way into the matchday squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cynic in me says that is not the case. He has been getting some sub minutes so this seems more like a case of load management for the guys fighting to make sure they keep their promotion spot. Playing away to a giant like ManC is probably a bridge too far for them. WestHamCanadianinOxford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the semi final so it’s at wembley - not that home/away matters given the gap. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I had no idea it was the SF - I didn’t realize SU were that deep in the cup run. That changes my thinking about it entirely - there is no way a team like that would approach a game like this as an opportunity to rotate in guys. He may have a specific role in this one (e.g. run endlessly and press until you drop) but the only way he is on the field is if his manager things he is the best one for that particular assignment. The opportunity to win a trophy would be huge to SU - even if it requires two pretty unlikely results to achieve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best chance is to go to extra time/PKs and with Sharp being long in the tooth they probably want him fresh for when it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR is turning into NBA reffing - always subjective. Edit: in that instance, the referee should’ve been sent to the camera to rethink his decision.

On who should be MoM for this one: "I would give it to Kyle Walker for his constant overlapping of Mahrez while being constantly ignored by the same."

They looked to pressure and keep it close, then probably hoped bring on their finishers. It was a plan, I think. Probably should not have been a penalty and in the quality of a very well selected Man City won out. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game plan was: 1- cause a crazy traffic jam so Man C can't make it to the stadium. 2- tear up the field so the ball won't role. 3- put in the youngest guys to run them into the ground.

If he goes out on loan or gets moved I am not sure it has much bearing on anything. If anything, a solid indication that he isn’t viewed as an EPL player by the club may help clarify things for him. And in the absence of some major progress, it doesn’t seem likely that they would graduate him from Championship sub to EPL striker. trc2014 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean perhaps it is an unpopular opinion, but for me Jebbison has been generally underwhelming when given chances. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I don't see that changing anytime soon. Agreed. Look at Kone's impact with Watford and Jebbison's "impact" with Sheffield, it's night and day. Yes you could argue Jebbison is with the stronger club, but Kone is actually a starter (or at minimum occassional starter) for Watford. Jebbison has multiple game stretches where he's a healthy scratch for the Blades. A resonable expectation would suggest that Jebbison is destined for a Corbeanu/Millar type of loan next season, somewhere in the lower Championship/Upper League One range. Who knows what will happen, though. He should have been on loan this season, but he wasn't. Maybe they keep him around in the exact same role next season...
