Sheffield Utd (H) | Pre-Match Thread

I predicted a 1-1 draw against the rags, I was wrong, well done Sheffield United! : )

They will come to ours with their tails up and we must be wary. However, they gave it their all tonight so if we keep it tight at the back and score early their heads might drop and fatigue set in from exertion of a non stop battle in beating the rags. We can punish them and put them sword but having watched them beat United you never know. They need at least a draw so will need to try and counter us and take any chances they get, and hopefully (touch wood) we can keep another clean sheet.

it is the strangest season in the history of the PL and anything can happen but I'm going 3-0.

Any Sheffield United fans reading I wish you good luck in avoiding the drop. Good luck and best wishes starting after the game on Saturday of course: )

Same Same. Respect on beating Manure!

One thing for sure...I bet they would prefer to be playing united again

But they dropped 2 points tonight, don't forget.

Seems like 9 out of 11 of our spots have clear starters, then the other 2 forward positions have 4 players vying for them (Sterling, Mahrez, Jesus, Torres).

This has just become the biggest game of the season for us, a win for us and a defeat or draw for the Rags away to Arsenal and suddenly there is a 4 point gap and a game in hand over the Rags.

Leicester are the team we need to be wary of now.

How Leicester didn’t win at Everton is a bloody mystery, they absolutely battered the Toffees for most of that match and played some really good football.

Text from a blade this morning.

"Fuck. Beating a shit Man United means our players will fancy it against you. Off to put a bet on 10-0 City"

Reckon Sheff Utd will be a lot more defensive against us than they were last night. Expect them to just sit back in their bank of 10 defenders and let us play, but they'll be knackered (physically and mentally) after last night's performance and that should lead to errors, just hope our passing is as crisp, fast and incisive as it's been for the last few weeks, 'cause if it is, it's an "easy" win for us and we could absolutely batter them, but I'll take 1-0 and a scrappy bore-fest to be honest :)

They were given free rein to kick us off the park last time we played them in Laporte's comeback game (Baldock especially if memory serves me right), any chance we'll get any protection/fairness from the ref, or will we get more yellow's than them due to our "horrible" tactical nudges which are obviously far worse crimes than two footed lunges :))

Apart from tax & deaths nothing is a certainty.

The rags put a lot of effort in at the weekend to beat the dips & Sheffield actually won a game, ok only v Plymouth but a win is a win and will hopefully breed confidence.

As they aren't one of the hateful 8/ nasty 9 they I believe will target the raggy game (on the back of the FA cup win) rather than our game and leave it all on the pitch at the swamp, may even get some sort of result.

By Weekend they'll be ready to rest and we'll turn them over....sounds so simple ;)

You my son have a crystal ball well done sir
