Last chance saloon for Premier League survival

We have 3 of the easiest games, on paper, to win in the league.

Burnley are underperforming and were rubbish against Leeds. They're down to a threadbare squad and games are thick and fast. We simply have to win this.

Then there's Palace, who started well but have looked fairly dire the last few games. Never a better time to play them.

Then Newcastle. They've not been the same since they had the COVID outbreak and look there for the taking.

Pick up 9 points and the JTW could be very different.
 
So we face Burnley at Turf Moor. Who cares...

So

Any team news?

Defeat and nobody scoring for us. Or nil nil draw

UTB

Movement
determination to be first to the ball
strength
Enjoying playing
hunting in packs

all gone :(
 
Listening to the players and wilder they are hurting and they want it. We have lost a lot of tight games to a quality moment. That’s not Burnley, watched their last match and kept thinking how much better we played against Everton. Time to stop all the pessimism, be realistic about our true level (which is not as bad as it looks in the table) and BELIEVE. we can do this. A win changes everything. COYRAWW.⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️
 
We will get murdered at set pieces in the air, only Egan and Basham to get near them. Woods, Tarowaski and Mee must be licking their lips. Burnley 4 Blades 0 all headers.
 
This is the one for me, I am one of the biggest optimists when it comes to Sheffield United, but if we don't win this one, I will consider us down.

I know most will laugh at that and say we are down already, but I still have that belief, belief that will be eradicated if we dont get 3 points tonight
 
Fear we have passed the point of no return, we need to get some positivity back into this club before we do go down for a promotion push season next and we need to start tonight by thrashing this lot...when I say thrashing a 1-0 og will suffice.

Do not want that bloody record thank you very much.

I walked past the ‘kids Christmas tree’ (so called because all the gaudy baubles that my wife won’t have on the tree in the best room get stuck on it) earlier today and I looked at the Blades bauble we have. Not even a slight exaggeration that as I looked at it, it just fell off and smashed on the floor.

I feel that even our 2nd choice Christmas tree knows that we are fucked.

On that basis, 3 nil to Burnley.

Just to counter this, I was doing The Times cryptic crossword yesterday and the clue for 1 across was "Less conventional film director (6)". The answer: WILDER.
I went on to finish the crossword with flying colours.
Blades win 3 nil.

Wasn't McB at fault for their goal from a set piece last year?

Had to watch it back, yep let his man get ahead of him and played him onside!
Ref didn't give us a stonewall pen, as it was accidental handball.
Sharp once again showing his football intelligence to help set up our equaliser.

Start Bogle...
Put Bash in midfield to show the rest of em how it’s done.
Stop rotating the ‘strikers’ like it’s some kind fix.
Drop Ramsdale and play out from the back and through the middle of the park or Burnley will eat us alive.

Bash in midfield leaves a hole in the defence for Burnley to expose

I really don't understand cryptic crosswords!
 
Ramsdale
Baldock,Bash,Egan,Robbo,Enda
Amps, Norwood,Osborn
Burke, McG

Moose on last half hour.
 
That game at Bramall Lane was class! Dominate from start to finish....ahh the good ol days. 1-1 tonight or a last minute winner not sure if it’s us or them. Burnley seem to have a few that are doubtful for this game.
 
 
Norwood, Fleck and Robinson must be nailed on candidates for having Covid judging by the last two games.

Any news on who? Possibility of cancelled games..

Due to medical confidentiality, the Blades - whose game at Burnley tonight will go ahead - will not be revealing the names of those affected.
The Yorkshire Post
 
Imagine, Back three of Jags, Bryan and Robinson with Jay “walking red card” Mceveley on a one match deal. Midfield of Rodwell, Norwood and Ampadu. Let’s hope this isn’t the case. But “a number of” 2,3,4? Facks that all abart. Confidentiality I suppose it’s not like we won’t work it out anyways. When the above starts. Probs win 4 - 0.
