9/11. Stitched up with Fred and Dave.

 

[Cutch]

The worst possible midfield pairing we can put together in terms of balance out of all the options available to us.

Our only actual holding midfielder paired with an attacking midfielder. Its fine

 

[big rons sovereign]

Not a fan of the Matic Pogba midfield but hopefully we can scrape a win.

Yeah, feels like a banana skin.

 

[Web of Bissaka]

That's the post lockdown team from last season that hammered teams

Are you sure?

 

[Web of Bissaka]

United won't lose.

At best, they'll win or draw.

 

[Blades1889]

Time to log off and endure this then. Enjoy

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Great lineup. Should be an easy 3 or 4-0 win with such attacking quality. Will be too much for them to handle.

It's not. Bruno and Rashford need to be rested.

 

[sillwuka]

Deano in goal, great to see.

 

[TMDaines]

Are you sure?

With a better keeper and a more threatening left back. Excited by the team.

 

[OldTrevil]

That's essentially the team that breezed through all the low-block teams we encountered last season after lockdown, bar Dean and Telles. Let's hope they keep the same spirit or better

 

[OL29]

Straight after hang time.

Classic

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Are you sure?

Bar Telles and Dave?

 

[Rightnr]

We'll be gassed by January at this rate. If I was Donny, I'm handing my transfer request yesterday.

 

[Cutch]

Are you sure?

With exception of Henderson and Telles, didn't we go on a run where we won a few games in a row by atleast 3 goals?

 

[HowYouDoin]

Haha every time we started Matic every single team always sliced us up in the midfield and ended up dominating and creating a ton of chances.
The dude has no legs.
Good chance this is the reply of West Ham game. Sheffield will score early and then we will turn it around after half time.

Either way get ready for Sheffield dominating in the first half.
Ole is just beyond clueless.

 

[TMDaines]

It's not. Bruno and Rashford need to be rested.

Reluctantly agree with this. Liverpool away in Jan. They should be not kicking a football until then.

 

[RedTiger]

Are you sure?

Yes

 

[Rajma]

The worst possible midfield pairing we can put together in terms of balance out of all the options available to us. Didn’t they both

Our only actual holding midfielder paired with an attacking midfielder. Its fine

One can barely run while the other one is a lost deer defensively. It’s been proven time and time again with these two that we get easily overrun by any semi-competent team but it’s Shefield United I guess so maybe we’ll be fine as you say.

 

[Mike Smalling]

That's essentially the team that breezed through all the low-block teams we encountered last season after lockdown, bar Dean and Telles. Let's hope they keep the same spirit or better

Good point. We played some quality football back then, although against a lot of the weaker teams in the league, and with Martial in really good form.

 

[el3mel]

It's not. Bruno and Rashford need to be rested.

Bang on some goals in first half then we can sub them off during half time.

 

[Odin]

Another game, another 7 defenders.

lol

Yes, I have always thought of Pogba more as a left back... and Fernandes is the archetypical CB. not

 

[Web of Bissaka]

With a better keeper and a more threatening left back. Excited by the team.

Love our GK and LB options.

Our midfield duo though... it's like we want to help kick-start Sheffield season.
Now it's up to them to exploit our midfield.

 

[RedPed]

Happy with that line-up. We should be able to smash them. Can we capitalise on the other teams' profligacy this week for a change? i really hope so. Chance to go level 2nd with our games in hand.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Reluctantly agree with this. Liverpool away in Jan. They should be not kicking a football until then.

They shouldn't be starting. We tend to score late goals anyway so bring them on after an hour if it's necessary. Stupid management.

 

[RashyForPM]

Good side actually. Fred and McT have to be at optimum fitness for the beep test that is Leeds on Sunday, and Matic and Pogba ended last season well. Plus, Deano is a massive upgrade on DDG.

 

[luke511]

Matic and Pogba as CDMs together has never gone well, Solskjaer doesn't remember shit.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Bang on some goals in first half then we can sub them off during half time.

I'd prefer the other way around.

 

[Big Ben Foster]

I read this on Sky's match preview. Safe to say we're about to be fecked by the jinx gods.

Since winning their first ever Premier League match against Man Utd on the opening day of the competition in 1992, Sheffield United are winless in their last seven against the Red Devils (D1 L6).

Manchester United haven't failed to score in any of their last 22 meetings with Sheffield United in all competitions, since a 0-1 away loss in September 1972.

Sheffield United have lost six of their last seven home league games, as many as in their previous 30 at Bramall Lane (W20 D4 L6) - the Blades haven't lost four in a row at home since April 1965.

 

[Cutch]

One can barely run while the other one is a lost deer defensively. It’s been proven time and time again with these two that we get easily overrun by any semi-competent team but it’s Shefield United I guess so maybe we’ll be fine as you say.

You've pretty much answered your own point there. I wouldn't be for playing it against top opposition but it's Sheffield United.

 

[Borys]

We'll be gassed by January at this rate. If I was Donny, I'm handing my transfer request yesterday.

Rashford and Bruno. Other players are getting "normal" rest.

 

[Hughie77]

Decent line up. Matic and Pogba is a bit sketchy for me but if Matic is on it be ok. Hendo in goal ok maybe he knows a bit of how SU, set up. Good start please and not chase this game. Fred Mctom, being kept for Leeds . Let's get a good 2 results before Xmas .

 

[Adisa]

Hope our attack begins to click.

 

[Sunny Jim]

Few years back Dudek made a terrible mistake for Liverpool. Every body was calling for his head and wanted Kirkland to replace nim. After that particular game (can't remeber which one was it) Dudek was expected be dropped. Houlier gave him one more game where Dudek kept a clean sheet and then fot dropped. I wonder (i doubt IT anyhow) IT Ole is doing the same thing qith DDG here.

 

[red woppit]

Big risk from Ole, hopefully Pogba can put some effort in now he's fully recovered from covid. To me Bruno and Rashford are the ones who need rest.
We're gonna struggle in defence if either Lindelof or Maguire get injuries, Tuanzebe and Bailly need minutes on the pitch (personally would pick Tuanzebe instead of Lindelof).

 

[Super Hans]

United won't lose.

At best, they'll win or draw.

And at worst?

 

[Odin]

Are you sure?

Yes, it was great seeing Deano playing out to Telles for a curved ball that Pogba put his head to - every game!

 

[Red Royal]

Matic should be fine given he has had a bit of a rest. Would have gone with VDB though.

 

[JJ12]

Time to log off and endure this then. Enjoy

Your doom and gloom is making me uneasy

 

[Nou_Camp99]

Is there a single 11 that Ole could pick without moaning galore on here? Seems like people want to moan for sake of it.

We don't win this game it's on the players not Ole. That team he's fielded is very strong. Nothing wrong with it. The front 6 from project restart and only Telles and Hendo as newbies.

This is on the players now. They match their effort and we will win barring a red card or disaster class from the officials.

 

[Steve 007]

Famous last words, I think we’ll win 5-1
