Sheffield Utd vs MANCHESTER UNITED 24/11/19 16:30 EPL OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD

International break finally over and into the meat of the season

Early team news -
OUT
TcMominay (will be missed), Pogba (couldnt care less)

Not sure how we make a functioning 3 midfield with the bits left over

Henderson inelgible for them

Sheffield unbeaten in 5 and second best defensive record in the league.

We are after our first consecutive league wins since March last year.

Beat these lot and we LEAPFROG them to 5th. Start turning more corners and look forwards not backwards, upwards not forwards etc

1-2 to Utd, a bit of Martial magic and Williams to have another good one

Ballsy...

De Gea

Bissaka Lindelof Maguire Williams

Pereira Fred Garner

James Martial Rashford

Can we call it off? Pretty sure nobody can be arsed with it

1-3

Think will dispatch them without too much fuss

Yep. Same thinking here.

Fully fit Matic isn’t very good, unfit Matic will be that bad I’d rather throw Garner in there. What other options do we have ? 2 in there ? 3 at the back ?

Early start for this thread?

a laboured 2-1 win. we go 2 up then struggle when they pull one back late on

There is much to discuss

Can see this being v tough. Away at sheff United has always been a tough one.

Had to walk past Fergie in the dug out round the pitch one year after being slung out of the home end. He totally blanked us. And the United end started chanting ‘aceeeed’ to us as we looked like ravers. Pretty sure someone chucked a pie at me too. True story.

And at the end of the match, some MUFC lads started on us thinking we were the blades business crew. Can remember having to say ‘we’re united, man united’ to get away from them.

Again, true story.

Obligatory 1-0 defeat.

Ticket sorted. Early rattler. Cans. Hopefully arrested before the match.

First Half:
Early fast start from United in the first 3 minutes, fading to Bournemouth-esque levels of lethargy and they nick one on the stroke of half-time.

Second Half:
Backs-to-the-wall as we 'defend' an onslaught from the Blades' front men. Someone, who has never played football before, scores from 25 yds to make it 2-0.

"You Fill Up My Senses, Like a Greasy Chip Butty..."

The newspapers suggest that Ole will be gone before Advent Sunday.

It’s hard to be optimistic with no midfield.
