# Sheffield United: Fans critical of Rhian Brewster after latest defeat

**A number of Sheffield United supporters have laid into Rhian Brewster following the Blades’ disappointing 2-1 defeat to Huddersfield Town on Saturday.**

The Blades were looking to get their Championship season up and running after a poor start to the campaign, but it hasn’t panned out that way.

Slavisa Jokanovic’s side faced a Yorkshire derby at home to Huddersfield Town on Saturday, but it was the visitors who claimed the bragging rights at Bramall Lane. United seemed to have earned a point with a last-gasp Billy Sharp equaliser, only for the Terriers to go straight up the other end and nick a dramatic win.

Brewster led the line for the Blades as he looks to kick on in his career, but he was disappointing, failing to have a big enough impact on proceedings. The 21-year-old had just 14 touches in the game and completed a mere four passes. He also won just one of his seven duels and failed to complete a single dribble ([Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/huddersfield-town-sheffield-united/psjb)).

Brewster, who cost the Blades a [club record £23.5m](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/54393687), has [scored just once in 33 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rhian-brewster/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/406560/verein/350) for United and there are no signs of his current woes in front of goal going away.

### Sheffield United fans unhappy with Brewster

These Blades fans took to Twitter to vent their disgruntlement about Brewster’s performance yesterday, with one supporter making an unflattering comparison with the club’s [former enigma](https://www.sheffieldtelegraph.co.uk/news/sheffield-united-curious-case-diego-de-girolamo-62536) Diego De Girolamo.

**“If Brewster didn’t cost £24m, he’d be joining Rotherham on loan this window. Let’s be honest, what’s his motivation now, even just at 20? I think it’s a case of too much too soon! He’s got a UCL winners medal! Must be on huge wages, LFC on CV will always mean £££/transfers“**

**“Bash was good but poor for the winning goal. Fleck was much better than of late. Brewster didn’t do enough for my liking.”**

**“From what I’ve seen Jebbison is better than both Brewster and Burke, he should be given a chance“**
