I've come to the conclusion that the best way to beat these clubs that play 5 at the back is to simply counter them and do it as well.

A draw here would do just fine too but Sheffield United are looking desperately poor...

Every small team treats us like their cup final. They unfortunately can't summon those levels every match.

Bastards.

And we have a tendency to not turn up..we had 76% of the ball and lost 3-0 lol...who manages that lol..

SU are so damn predictable. they try to work one free on the flank and then cross. If they cant work someone free they cross from deep. Rinse and repeat. how did we lose vs this lot, they look terrible. Ndidi+tielemans simply shut up the shop in the middle and thats that for SU

For starters, Leicester's energy level and pressing are night and day to what we did at the weekend.

Even though they rotated just 3 or 4 players from the team that played all the matches before.

Leicester very energetic for 30 minutes or so, but Sheffield not up for it so far.

Yes that is true, but that does not excuse their energy levels, they have been piss poor.

[Puliiszola 519]

Weird performance by SHU. Let's hope they come out with some energy

Here goes...

I pray that Liecester come out all guns blazing in the second half and bang SU all over the place and pick up 3 points. 

[Jase 43,479]

Leeds are almost back in the Premier League. Just need 1 more point...

Wilder is very good at reactive tactical changes, the big question is do SU have the legs to turn it around

he has basically no remotely good enough CB to bring in and as a group they are tired

I would pull McGoldricks, who looks spent, and bring on Mousset

plus Fleck for Osbourne

and a bit later Lundstram for Berge

then last sub, or near last bring Billy Sharp on if they truly need a late goal

that is literally all his plays unless he sees one of the CB's so spent that he tosses in Jagielka, but he is 38yo in a month, lol or Jack Robinson , but he is a fullback

Sheff are shit comign from behind but we have seen stranger things happen

They come back from 2:0 at Stamford Bridge. 

But this is good result if we want Man Utd to miss CL.
