Sheffield United 3:3 Manchester United

LoSpritz · Nov 24, 2019

Big game - winner takes fifth

Castia · Nov 24, 2019

Sheffield United playing well and we have no midfield, this will be a tough game. Can see a 1-1 draw.

Can7onA · Nov 24, 2019

It's going to be tough, they are bastards to play against these lot, McTominay is going to be missed today.

TrustInJanuzaj · Nov 24, 2019

Extremely nervous about this to be honest. After the results of rivals yesterday this just has draw or defeat written all over it. Only hope I have is some magic from Rashford or Martial who have looked sharp recently. Let’s hope we can grind out something.

Adcuth · Nov 24, 2019

De Gea

Tuanzabe Maguire Lindelof

AWB Pereira Fred Williams

James

Martial Rashford

This makes sense to me

Denis' cuff · Nov 24, 2019

Enormous amount of hype and build-up coming out of Sheffield. Sounds like they’re pumped for this.

...and I thought we were a spent force wallowing in mid-table

Id be surprised to see that from the start, not saying we shouldn’t go with it but it’s a very attacking line up and the likelihood is we’d have Rash and James either side of Martial, rather than James as no 10 if that 11 did start.

I can see us going with 3 in the middle, hoping to see Garner although again, probably unlikely.

The only problem I see, is the aerial threat that McBurnie (he will play some part I'm sure) poses up against Lindelof.

I’d be worried about Mousset, he’s rapid and will more than likely be pinned to Maguire

Alabaster Codify7 · Nov 24, 2019

No way in hell we're winning this. Absolutely no confidence in facing Sheffield United in the league, jesus Christ.

Blades1889 · Nov 24, 2019

Good luck today, hoping for a good game. I’m off to town

OnlyTwoDaSilvas · Nov 24, 2019

I guess Young walks straight back into the starting 11, despite Williams looking impressive. I hope I'm wrong.

Thiagoal · Nov 24, 2019

The sort of injury ravaged game against decent opposition (at home) where SAF’s genius used to shine through with some left field team selections! Think we may be surprised today with Jonesy in midfield for instance

redshaw · Nov 24, 2019

Difficult to not see a draw or loss for us.

Hopefully our front players can carry on the good form and be clinical.

RedDevilUnited369 · Nov 24, 2019

I’m positive!

0:3 before half time!

To be honest, I wouldn't mind Williams starting against Astana so i'd allow Young the game today.

Foxbatt · Nov 24, 2019

If we win a big boost for Ole. But I cannot see us winning this. What happens if we lose? There is going to be enormous pressure on Ole and Woodward to do something. I think it is the next league game that may be crucial to Ole rather than this one. If we lose both I cannot see him remaining for too long.

Bulldog United · Nov 24, 2019

We have the big mo' at the mo, and little Sheffield can't live with us on current form. It's time to give the cannon fodder a footballing lesson in front of their deluded fans this afternoon.

Anyone would think this lot were world beaters the way some of their fans have been carrying on in the build up to this match.

I can see us breezing to a 2-0 win.

Eric's Seagull · Nov 24, 2019

Think this is going to be a close game. Luckily for us Henderson is not playing. Would be nice to see us continue building up a bit of form. Concerned about McTominay and worried Matic might be playing. Think we will will win this 2-1 but hoping for a few more goals.

Thiagoal · Nov 24, 2019

Tactically and effort wise this is a very tough game! However, if we match them for effort we should breeze to a win! Anyone scared on John Fleck, David McGoldrick and George Baldock needs to give their head a wobble

Andycoleno9 · Nov 24, 2019

They are very strong as a team, hard to beat. They will not allow us to catch them on counter and we really struggle against teams where all 10 players are behind the ball. I think it will end 1-1 in one ugly game without too much chances

But where does all this come from? We are playing Sheffield, not Barca or PSG. Of course we will win

TheRedDevil'sAdvocate · Nov 24, 2019

If the midfield holds its own defensively and if we don't see any damning brainfarts from the back four, we'll win this. Some of you make it seem like we're facing prime Barcelona. It won't be a walk in the park but come on... Anyway, it's also time we show we've learned something from our previous mistakes against compact mid/lower table sides.

Stadjer · Nov 24, 2019

I am not expecting much... since Ferguson left every time there is a huge chance to climb the table the players feck up.

Last season Arsenal game destroyed my faith... game started off with a huge chance for Lukaku and after that Lingard (not sure) also had a big chance. Xhaka had one shot on goal, DDG fecks up and we lost the game. Had we won that game, which was a realistic option, i am pretty sure a top 4 CL spot would have been taken.

That's what I thought against all the matches we lost this season. But we lost.

Sheffield is higher in the league table and this team lost to teams like Bournemouth, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Newcastle for example... why are you so sure we will win this?

Doesn’t mean we have no chance in hell vs Sheffield United for feck sake :lol:

unchanged_lineup · Nov 24, 2019

I had a dream we'd be up to 5th, so yeah.

Catt · Nov 24, 2019

We'll lose because we have no midfield.

5the place.
The stuff dreams are made of.

As little as 2 years ago, if we were dreaming of 5th place, that would be classed as a nightmare scenario and a sackable situation for the manager.
Our standards are now so low that fans have been convinced that 5th place is actually a fantastic achievement.

I don't blame Ole. He is a limited in ability and is achieving what is expected of him. I blame Woodward for allowing us to go from serial title contenders, to this.
No manager, under Woodward, can do well.

For that reason I hope we play 3 at the back to protect ourselves a little.

It’s like a wonderland compared to where Jose left us tbh

Internet, is this the appropriate place to say "Ok, boomer"?

This seems to be the thing to do nowadays.

What is worse is the fans who go on and on about it.

Aouer-United · Nov 24, 2019

If Garner start, Garner need to impose himself strong on the game. If he's hiding, nervous and not calling for a pass, I think we are going to lose this game

Did you watch us a year ago? Your obsession with Woodward is tiresome.

Rozay · Nov 24, 2019

Almost every game, except maybe 3 or 4 teams in this league, has the whole forum ‘unable to see how’ we could possibly win. Do you all expect Sheffield United to finish above us? Do you expect us to finish in the top 6? Where do you suspect these points will come from to finish top 6? Because it seemingly isn’t against any team we will play!

We have better footballers that Sheffield United. Significantly better even. I’m not saying I know what will happen, but it would not be seen as some sort of footballing upset if Manchester United beat Sheffield United.
