Agreed, but I’m more worried about them scoring early TBH and we all know how that would end.

I have a feeling that Sheff U's over-confidence (the fans anyway) will be their undoing.
We have seen it all before. Team gets promoted, have a flying start and then it gradually catches up with them.
They are a well drilled side but I think we will eke out a narrow win.

Have you just woken up from a 16 month long coma? Have a gander at the league positions and results of the two teams and then tell me who should be favourites to win.Really worrying that we are pessimistic about bloody Sheffield United at home. Should be a complete home banker this and we should be going into this confident of smashing them.
So, if I’m not mistaken, what you’re saying is 12-0.
By sounds of things, the day will end with you in jail for stalking a club legendGoing to be there extra early, as the legend that is my hubbie (well in TFCLAND, he is) will be signing his new book in the club shop tomorrow. Was panicking as I couldn't make any of the book signings announced so far. Just hope the day ends as well as it's going to start!!

I agree it should be a home banker, but we aren't the same team that went unbeaten at the old WHL, or rather we are the same team more-or-less, and maybe that's the problem. I keep waiting for the squad to 'click' and show its true potential but have been let down time and again. If Poch has the guts to actually start the new guys against SU and the performances against Red Star are repeated on Saturday then we have a realistic chance of taking all 3 points.Bullshit. Sheffield United are a newly promoted team and will be midtable or below come end of the season. This happens so many times when promoted teams come up and make a decent start, then suddenly plummet down the table. Trust me, I know we have been shit, but we might aswell pack up our bags and give up this season if we are panicking over Sheffield fucking United at home. Home banker and should be 3 points all day long.

Cranston pickleI’m not going to lie, I’ve really got myself in a pickle with the quote button. I don’t know how to copy things on the phone and, well, frankly i’ve let myself down.
more likely Stevie P banged up in the pokie for stalking Mrs P.....By sounds of things, the day will end with you in jail for stalking a club legend
Winks in for Sissoko and that would be my only preference for that line upIt was no coincidence that when Ndombele and Lo Celso start we have a different look to us, which is great for this season. It's freshness to the team, which makes us unpredictable again.
Both need to start tomorrow, fuck rotation. There's an international break after this game which they can get rest during. I'd even be tempted to start Sessengon on the left so we have genuine pace on the wings to get in behind.
GazzanigaWe then suddenly have a strong starting 11 and great options from the bench.
Foyth - Sanchez - Alderweireld - Davies
Sissoko - Ndombele
Lo Celso
Son - Kane - Sessegnon
Vorm - Dier - Rose - Winks - Eriksen - Dele - Lucas
I'll take that as a disagree.... many others on here have said the same though. Rather that than the side that played against Everton. What would your selection be ??You would play the exact same team that’s only had two days to recover against a side that presses highest that’s had a full week to be ready for this?
Mate, the partnership Ndombele and Sissoko are forming cannot be disrupted. The know each others game so well, compliment each other and Sissoko has the legs to get around the pitch.Winks in for Sissoko and that would be my only preference for that line up
Not Lo Celso, we need a proper (new) DM to play with Lo Celso and Ndombele in midfield.. Should be our main priority in the transfer window.What’s that got to do with Skipp? BC was arguing for him starting in central midfield, I disagreed. How have we arrived here? He originally had Lo Celso on the right of a midfield 3, he’s now agreeing with you that he should be a proper DM?
I think Winks's role recycling ball between defence and AMs (water carrier) would dovetail in well with GLC and N'Dombele, as he is a better passer than Sissoko , plus he's a head up player - rather than Sissoko's head down and charge style.Mate, the partnership Ndombele and Sissoko are forming cannot be disrupted.

I love Winksy, future captain material, but for now, in my opinion, Sissoko and Ndombele is the way forward.
Thats where Ndombele, Lo Celso and whoever partners (Sissoko or Winks) will be crucial. The more we press them, the less chance he has of bombing forward. We need to get back to the old style of pressing from the off, something we did show on Wednesday. The exact team, with only maybe centre half and left back rotation needs to be played.I think Winks's role recycling ball between defence and AMs (water carrier) would dovetail in well with GLC and N'Dombele, as he is a better passer than Sissoko , plus he's a head up player - rather than Sissoko's head down and charge style.
I like what he brings.
Sissoko is better if it turns into a physical battle
We need to watch Lundstrom's (spelling?) runs from deep though, he has got some goals from his surging runs into the box
