Default Team v Sheffield United

With games coming thick and fast and Sheffield United being utter f***ing dogshit chance to rest a few imo.

Others have shown they can step up to the plate and perform, we are getting some real strength in depth. which bodes very well as we march towards the triple.

DDG

Axel
Maguire
Linders
Telles

Pogba
Fred
VDB

Mata
Martial
Greenwood

Expect them to sit deep so Mata could hold the key. Rashford injured, rest Bruno again.

Arsenal away on Saturday with Southampton 3 days later.

Tricky game v Everton and an FA Cup mid weeker on the horizon.

I don’t really see it as resting people.

There’s only really Maguire, AWB, Rashord and Bruno who don’t get rotated.

We’ll probably make another 3 or 4 changes to freshen things up, but we don’t even really have a fixed 11 anyway.

And no £#%&!ing about anyway. It’s a league game and despite them being cut off, Sheffield United haven’t rolled over for anyone when I’ve seen them. We’re in no position to start £#%&!ing about.

Probably go unchanged, or bring Bailly back.

not sure anyone should be thinking "sheffield united are utter £#%&!ing dogshit".

at least one of pogba and bruno has to play. wrapping rashford in cotton wool makes sense, though.

Lads, its Sheffield united. Lets give some of the stiffs a chance to get a last minute January move

DDG
AWB
Bailly
Maguire
Williams
Matic
Fred
Greenwood
Fernandes
Mata
Martial


Bench: Henderson, Lindelof, Telles, Tunazebe, The Scottish Player, VDB, James, Lingard (@#%&!), Ighalo (give him one more run out before his loan ends)

Rest Shaw, Pogba, Cavani and Rashford for the Arsenal Game.

In fact if those two donkeys Jones and Rojo were registered id give them a run out, potential shop window etc.

you know they'll go 352 so i don't think it's necessarily the team selection that is the concern but more so about how Ole sets up the team

if they end up sitting in a 532...we have to break them down which has been our biggest stumbling block over the past 10 months or hell since Ole took over United

Yep, that's how we come unstuck. Treat this one with total seriousness.

Not since Bruno arrived it hasn’t.

I think he was saying we haven’t struggled to break teams down as much since Bruno came in. Which is true, we’re now winning more of those scrappy games where we have to grind It out.

Edit: the fear factor is coming back imo. Teams are now expecting us to score somehow. That’s a big shift from a couple of seasons ago where the like of Brighton were rocking up at ours and having a go at us.

my mistake.....i still think at times we struggle to break down teams that play 5 across the back but the one thing that has helped is Cavani as he doesn't need space to run and Bruno because he can pick out a pass and will take a risk in the final third to force a pass

Let Pogba, Rashford and Shaw be rested for the weekend as I think they will be Key. Also Cavani as hes not played 3 in a week for so long, so just managing his fitness

That’s two things that help. It’s hard for any team to break down a 10 man defence, which is often what happens against some of the grubby little clubs. As said, we’re now grinding out results in those kind of games - that breeds confidence in us and fear in the opposition.
