Almost everyone I speak to thinks that this should be the team, yet we all know that there is 0% chances of Jose picking it.Llorris
Aurier - Sanchez - Dier - Davies
Lo Celso - Sissoko - Ndombele
Bergwijn - Kane - Son
These guys are in free-fall.
Even at their best this they concentrated on being solid defensively. I think if we can go ahead we can win the game.
only this is vs West Ham we were so slow and pedestrian, that'll play right into Sheff U's hands. we need to be quick, I'd actually love to see Lo Celso and Ndombele in the two with Bergwijn, Son and Lucas behind Kane and just run at them! no Dele, Winks or Lamlea to slow everything down and give them time to get men behind the ball.
Bloody hellWe've kept 1 cleansheet away from home since Dembele left 17 and a half months ago.
Can we change that please? Thanks.
I was there that game.Bloody hell
Watford 0-0
That's crisis form
Was that this January? I was there as well.Awful gameI was there that game.
Gazza saved a pen. So lucky to have got the clean sheet.

I don't watch us play and think, we are always good for a goal any more.that is actually incredible! goes to show much we've slid because of our weak backline/keeper.
You'd always back us to score a goal or two but the back 5 needs serious work in the off season .
Agree with Bergwijn in for Moura. Also wouldn't be against Lamela/Ndombele in for Dele, but JM loves Dele.The lineup and substitutions for this game will drive the Ndombele-truthers among us silly for another few days at least. Same side as the last day with Bergwijn in for Moura is my guess.

In their last game, they looked like they were back to pre 19 form in the 2nd half. Dangerous team with a solid backline. Hope we do win but but with our away record, they probably think they're up for thisI can see us having a lot of possession and Sheffield United sitting deep. I think this is the ideal game to play Ndombele to try to get through some of the congestion with his ability to carry the ball.
Can see it not being pretty which is fine as long as we win.

That is an absolutely shocking statistic for a team that let in the least goals in 15/16 and 16/17 and the 3rd least goals in 17/18 and 18/19.
I'm thinking more offensive fullbacks.
Can we buy back Dembele and play him 45 minutes per game?That is an absolutely shocking statistic for a team that let in the least goals in 15/16 and 16/17 and the 3rd least goals in 17/18 and 18/19.
