[Blade56]

Can’t see Berge starting, he needs to know, understand and bleed the system from every orifice Before he starts. Might get a short run out if it’s not going well.

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Does anyone think that the burger kid won't start ? UTB

Yes. I think he won't start. Reason why? He'll need to fight for the shirt like everyone else and no one in the current starting 11 deserves to lose theirs.

I think he'll be on the bench. And I think he might get on the pitch in the 2nd half? Depends how things are going.

But it would be the wrong message to put him on from the start imo - unless he's replacing someone who is injured or suspended.

 

[Sam64]

Doesn't look like Ziv and Retsos are eligible. Nowhere to be seen in the vid United have just put out

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Power Sander starts. Rest unchanged.

 

[Sam64]

Feel for Besic. Out of the 18. Can't wait to see Sander tho

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Besic doesn't make the squad

 

[borg elite]

Very surprised Sander starts given the complexities of our system. Hope he doesn't shit himself when he sees Bash and JOC flying forward.

 

[hull-Blade]

Besic doesn't make the squad

Must be an injury , surely ?

 

[hull-Blade]

Good to see Billy getting another start

 

[BladeInIreland]

Mousset in for sharp and that's probably our best 11.

 

[JPBrods]

Good to see Billy getting another start

Fancy him to bag today.

 

[JimmyMuir94]

Didzy must have a had a reyt knock. Been out a while.

 

[ThroughThinAndThinner]

Very surprised Sander starts given the complexities of our system. Hope he doesn't shit himself when he sees Bash and JOC flying forward.

not as much as Palace should (hopefully)

 

[BladeInIreland]

Also Freeman back in squad.

 

[nickwr37]

I'm looking forward to this.

Bloody hope so , come on Billy

 

[wavy-blade]

Go Billyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Power Sander starts. Rest unchanged.

Nicely predicted by Ainsley Harriott

 

[MorettiBlade]

Excited to see Berge in action, whilst slightly sad to see Besic omitted completely. I feel that his recent performances at least warrant a place on the bench? But then Luke Freeman and Osborne worked hard in the cup game at Millwall as well.

Hope to see Moose involved at some point. Billy has worked on recently when called upon, but Moose has the pace and quality to unnerve and unlock teams.

Keen to see what sort of role Berge will play. He is box to box, therefore has to qualities of both a holding midfielder and an attacking midfielder....it is just about getting that blend right. I do wonder whether Berge and Norwood being in there, will well and truly open the door for Fleck to be in and around the 18 yard box.

Exciting times!!

Bloody hell , if only we could afford to sign players like that eh

 

[CoatesyBlade]

Power Sander starts. Rest unchanged.

Power Sander... Haha I like that!

 

[Toronto Blade]

Berge has had an exciting week.I wonder if he can go for a full 90 minutes. Wilder must think he is a difference maker to slot him in after one training session.Whatever he shows today at 21 he will only get better.

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Exactly the line up I was hoping for .

Delighted and excited in equal measure .

 

[BladeByChoice]

Chelsea and Leicester, draw.

Just need a Man U Wolves draw and Spurs defeat and we’re looking at back to 5th tomorrow night, 5 points behind Chelsea and they’ve still got to come to the Lane.

Blades winning today is a given for me, as always

 

[Cheesebored]

Didzy must have a had a reyt knock. Been out a while.

Setback in training this week according to Wilder yesterday.

 

[TCsLoveChild]

Wonder if Lunny is regretting not signing his new contract yet? Wilder is ruthless UTB

 

[JJ Sefton]

Here we go...

 

[TommyC]

Does anyone have a stream they'd be happy to share ...usual source seems to have let me down
