Why not just go there and have a go, play to our strengths, attack.

.........................Henderson
...............Bash......Egan...O'Connell
Baldock...........................................Stevens
.......Morrison......Besic.........Robinson
................Mousset...McBurnie
 



As long as Ravel plays. He'll score at least 2 and set up at least 4.
 
Moussec was excellent when he came on - like Billy, but bigger and faster.

(Sorry Billy)

I’m going with

.....................................................................Henderson

K.Freeman......Baldock .......Jags.......Basham.........Egan.......JOC............Stevens...........Osborne.....

..................................................................... Lunny

....................................................................Mcgoldrick
 
Normal back 6

3 across midfield Lunny, Norwood, Ravel or Osbourne.

Luke F

McB.

Or as above but with Jags as RCB with Bash pushed in to CM for Ravel or Ben O.

Bench could be interesting !

Basham overlapping Jags overlapping Baldock overlapping Freeman? We'll need a wider pitch.
 
Norwich and Man u both showed us Chelsea can be disastrous at the back, theres a goal in the game for us, its just how we play at the back

Which , of course , virtually guarantees that he will score more goals ? I think not .

As just two examples , neither Jimmy Greaves nor Gerd Muller were particularly big or fast but managed to chip in with the odd goal now and again ..........

From a very early age , Billy Sharp has been blessed with that rare and special talent which very few others possess which is the ability to put the ball in the back of the net on a regular basis . Just 8 minutes after coming on the field against Bournemouth he confirmed that he has lost none of that ability .

Furthermore , when he has been brought on as a substitute he , along with McBurnie , has has brought about an entirely different and altogether more threatening dynamic to the team .

In spite of this , it appears that the manager and many Blades fans are comfortable with the idea of him having to make way for two players , decent though they may be , who clearly do not have this special talent and who are equally clearly uncomfortable in that role .

Apparently in some people's minds , the solution to the problem of our two chosen strikers not having a single goal between them is to introduce a player who has scored just 3 in 52 appearances rather than one who has scored over 30 .

Sometimes I wonder...........

I don’t disagree with you, but his age means that the manager does have to plan for the day, which might not be too far off but who knows, when Billy can no longer be relied upon to do what he does so brilliantly. Succession planning.
 
It's the same team with mcburnie for mcgoldrick I was told Thursday evening and they haven't been wrong so far this season
 
Last week I really wanted Mcburnie to get a start, and we know when he did come on he changed the game but I cant look past how good I thought McGoldrick was.
He won so much in the air. It didn't click as much for Robinson last week but as much as it felt like we needed to make a change the front two actually did very well.

I'm not sure whether Mcburnie's midweek performance might change things but if not I expect him to get his first start today. We need to keep some pace up top so Robbo will feature, it's more a case of who will play the number 10 slot if McGoldrick does start on the bench and Fleck's back.
