To be fair there’s an argument to say it’s good for their development, the biggest game either player will have played to this point. I wouldn’t have been totally surprised to see City making an exception and allowing them to play. I haven’t seen or heard anything about it since though.As if city would say yes your fine to play our players against us especially when they are 2 of there better players. Ain’t happening
Thinks that’s what he means mate - Phillips wasn’t even picked for Burnley at home, sums it up.
True. And that’s ok. Not exactly a step down. As for Phillips…I hope this lad comes good. Many of our stars took a season to get it here - silva yaya jack etc - but he is a worry. and seemed to think his performance the other day was amusing!You can bet everything on Alvarez starting this game. And Mahrez.

Gone off sale but we sold well over 30KHow are the ticket sales going?
I'd argue we'd risk the game. Much rather start Rodri and pull him early.
Absolute joke we have to have this discussion and simply proves he ought to be sold in the summer.
Playing Man U first season back in the Prem was our biggest game in decades.McAtee and Doyle can't be played, right?
If that's the case, then they're not the same team. That said, it should never be forgotten that for the Sheffield United players, this is not just another football match. This is the biggest event in the club's history in decades. And for these players, they're playing on the biggest stage possible, probably for the only time. We've seen it before, with Wigan. A fairly ordinary team can play out of their skins.
It's simple: take them seriously, and we'll win, comfortably.
You're probarbly right, i just think people myself included want to protect Rodri before Arsenal.Phillips is not starting this game.
I see some posters including him on their preferred starting lineup.
Rodri will definitely start.
Then if we're comfortably ahead, Phillips can come in.
Sheff U sold 33854.Only tickets left were odd separate seats.Gone off sale but we sold well over 30K
