Sheffield Utd (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[citizen_maine]

so you play the strongest 11 and get a good lead THEN rotate .
like we did v West Brom.

That means your subs never get a full 90 minutes to get/maintain match sharpness though

 

[SWP's back]

Yeah and we've kept a clean sheet every game. Last time we rotated them we conceded and dropped points.

So we’d just play the same two for the rest of the season then and when one gets injured from playing 65 games, fuck it?

 

[SWP's back]

Playing Laporte means Dias playing on his wrong side,

Wtf? Dias was bought to play with Laporte for fucks sake. Now we have a right and a left footer. It’s not his ‘wrong’ side.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Why?

Why what. Are you a flat earther or sumfink?

 

[Badensbluemoon]

I like it...Stones was due a rest and that front three is very fluid, Torres needs game time. Hopefully Sheffield know they are not playing United

shows just how impressive Dias has been because he's been playing on the left side almost exclusively and made it look easy.

this time last year we d have been delighted laporte was back in the team.now people moaning ffs the reason we have been great over the last few years is strength in depth

Yes it is. Laporte is soft defender with passing qualities. Everything else is average.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

I assumed everyone would be happy with the amount of stick Mahrez & Sterling have been getting recently?

No?

Yes , neither player has played to their potential recently and do not deserve to be in the team , i dont hate them or have an agenda against either player , neither are contributing enough and others players deserve a chance.

I am pleased to see Torres start with Gabby, Bernardo, Phil and Gundo. That is a very dangerous frontline. If there is a game to rotate, this is one of the games to choose. Zin deserves to keep his place though I am a little disappointed that Rodri and Stones have been rested; everyone needs it at some point and Pep's management of the squad has been very successful. I think we will win fairly comfortably 2-0.

Playing Laporte means Dias playing on his wrong side, would have left CB pairing as was.
Happy to see FFS and Sterling dropped tbh.
Think we will have harder day than most expect unless we get an early goal.

Dias is both footed we bought him to play alongside Laporte who's our LCB, he's in his correct position.

Completely off topic I’m afraid but I know the mods will be on this part of the forum. I normally have an adblocker on but I’ve disabled it for this site. Im just wondering why the ads today are for still nil nil books advertising “miracle in Istanbul” and “Liverpool books for kids “

I understand the need for revenue but Liverpool books.....

 

[HolisticJim]

What is the story on Ake ? It seems he’s been permanently injured since we signed him.

How's that different from our other players... This always happens

Can‘t believe some are clueless

You’re a fucking clown.

Soft defender wtf?

Jeez some people.

It’s because we have a lot people that know absolutely fuck all about football post on here.

 

[abu13]

It shows how we have moved on when people are questioning the inclusion of Walker, Laporte and Fernandinho in our starting 11.

 

[citytill1die84]

You’re a fucking clown.

YCNMIU could you?

Dias “right” side is on the right not the left
