Got into a conversation with a blades mate out here and we have a bet that if we score more then 5 goals I get a beer if only 5 are scored I buy him a beer. So 1-0 it’s is then. :-)

Got a feeling that today won't be the walkover that some expect. Can see it being a fairly hard fought win. Hope Bobb starts if Grealish isn't available.

There were some good signs at Everton that we were clicking again

Sheff U are missing some key players

If we get an early goal I think we could get a big win

If we’re only winning by 1 goal going into the last 10 mins again I’ll be panicking again

Whilst many were bemoaning this, that and the other against Everton I saw the green shoots of this team running into that trophy form. A slickness and desire returning. Eyes on the prize. Come on City. Here we go again!

With the players missing and Jack a big doubt now as well. I imagine it's going to be a hard fought win. 2-0 City. Foden and Alvarez. It would be nice to get an early goal

I don't understand why some think Jack is a big doubt. He was training yesterday (in pics solo and with Kev) and looked fine. Smiling as per usual. He took Thursday off to deal with the fallout from the burglary but was then back at it apparently.

Why are people talking about big wins at this stage of season 3 PTS is all that matters .We got haaland ,doku, kdb and possibly stones in. By Feb and this team will be completely different we will be a machine.So for me next few games just get the points. Nothing more

That plan rings a bell

Different colour stripes but,also over the holiday period.

Some atmos that day.

this. as soon as the fella steps on the pitch in a game we are struggling in things just happen immediately.

Not needed today with the Viking not there too. Give him 15/20 mins v Huddersfield and then integrate fully. Today is a game more suited for the trickery of Doku but he is not available.

I quite like sheff utd, so I'll be satisfied with a 3-0 win.
It will be a tough game on the players bodies, though.

It's odd how much the 'walkover' pops up, I guess people are just being fronty and giving it some etc, but time and again these teams sit so deep that the odd goal victory is what occurs. They're not exactly going to take us on at football, so City Vs 10 defenders it is! Don't care about a clean sheet myself, compared to the win
