Manager reaction to City 0 - 2 Sheff Utd

Last updated : 22 December 2024 By Michael Morris

Cardiff manager Omer Riza:

"It was a tough game. We prepared well and put out a team we thought would cause a problem. We contained them, to go in 0-0 at half-time to get a draw or win out of the game - but a moment of moment of real class from Moore with the goal puts us on the back foot.

"The second goal comes from us trying to get something out of the game. Disappointing but the better team won. We know the quality of the player and the boys contained him for periods of the game.

"In general we worked hard and the boys showed good intensity levels. We come away with a defeat and have to pick ourselves up."

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder:

"To get to 50 points is incredible. To come to a ground like this and break down a team like this… to play with the discipline and control we had was incredibly pleasing.

"We're getting stretched a little bit at the moment with six senior players out, but they keep doing what they do. They play with that freedom, they play with that control and when they have to defend they're proud of their clean sheets.

"I thought we were really good today. The pitch wasn't great, they sat in and they were dangerous on the counter-attack, so we had to get so many things right."
