Enjoyed last weekend and more than a bit irritated that this one will be ruined by the inconvenience of feeling obliged to attend this on Saturday night.

4 weeks on from the Newcastle disgrace, I feel like I don’t really want to see any of those players again. That surrender was unforgivable. That wasn’t ‘a Sheffield United team’.
 
Same team set up as Fulham, i.e. 352, we get thumped. 442 or 451, I think we have a chance. Midfield has been a problem since the relegation season. Three man midfield does not and WILL NEVER work with the current squad. Two up front Will never work with a three man midfield with our current squad. Please Paul change the set up. For the love of all things good in this world change. Surely with only 2 fit centre halves we play a back four. I'm ready to be disappointed. Up the Blades, sigh
 
Bit of a dive into my what happened to the team from our last game against Newton Heath:

www.s24su.com

Where are they now? Manchester 1-2 United, Premier League, 21 January 2021

Where are they now? Manchester United 1 (Maguire) Sheffield United 2 (Bryan, Burke) 21 January 2021 We went into the game with 5 points from 19 games, 12 points from safety with Manchester a point behind rivals City at the top of the table. No-one at all expected United to get anything other...

this match frightens me, i wasnt worried v man city, because i had confidence in the defence, i was certain we stay up after everton the last home match i was able to attend. but this team is unrecognisable from that game or even 6 months ago with burnley Away, when we great with 10 men & bombardment. in hindsight Newcastle was ok. they put 4 past PSG have very good players,

But being outclassed by fulham just felt like the end, if shouldnt be that easy for them we should be on the same level as them but the L1 team in 2014 put up more of a fight. until we can become more defensively solid this is going to be painful
 
Would not be surprised to see a back 4 at the weekend. Playing all those who are able to play centre back in the 11 is too much of a risk.
 
Just think - we are playing Man Utd at Home in the Premier League no one seems that bothered!

You would have believed that!
 
The 2-1 win in 2021 had totally slipped my memory i couldnt remember anything about it but after viewing highlights it all came back, so if we can beat them with bryan and burke in the side anything can happen tommorrow, starting to believe
