Sheffield United (a) - 6th Dec 2023

[Harv]

Heckingbottom sacking confirmed and Chris Wilder in. Why do struggling clubs always seem to sack their managers right before we play them every time ffs

isn't he the potato headed bloke they had when they were last in the league??

Need to control the tempo early on and keep the ball, take the sting out of the crowd. An early goal as well would be great. As much of a boost as the crowd and the team might get they must be very low especially after the loss to Burnley and if we get one early it could kill any lift they have.

[RedReet]

Typical.

We've won all 4 games against Wilder, but they have been relatively tight affairs considering the gulf in class.

As Buzzo alluded to earlier, crowd will really be up for this and could create a toxic atmosphere, similar to Luton (not as scummy you'd hope).

I expected a big win for this one, but now I'll just settle for the 3 points.

I tried watching amszon games live last year and had a few problems using firefox... Seemed ok on Edge though... might use the desktop app this year as the resolution seems a lot better than the firefox

The Amazon app probably more reliable.

I take it you don't have Sky Q?

Edit: ignore me, clearly you are on a laptop/computer.

It will be the crowd that get the lift, if they get rid of the manager. That then translates into the players.

Sub optimum timing. Still, these are the games we must win. Our fairly brutal away form will be put to the test.

Salah on the bench for me Clive then unleash him on 50-60 mins.

Watched 2nd half earlier because my Internet went down yesterday, and seen Salah was bundled over 2 or 3 times in last 10 minutes, which seems to have left a lasting impression with people (not necessarily you, but it's a similar point). He tired a bit at the end, but he covered a lot of ground that game and was still running tirelessly until the final whistle. I don't think he looked fatigued, some of his passes just didn't come off and their LB was excellent all game.

I'd be very surprised if he doesn't start this and play the majority, if not all the game.

Really handy. I'll have all my kids devices taken off them and will be watching us on the big telly, Villa City on the large ipad, united chelsea on the small ipad and paddypower on my phone. Multitasking

I think the games v Villa and Brighton that arsenal have before they come to anfield will ne trickier than the Luton one. Would be beautiful if they did somehow drop points there though

Villa in particular based on their form at home. They have won every home game in both the PL and in Europe this season. They also won their last seven home games of last season so their home record in the league is looking impressive.

Villa had both City and Arsenal next at Villa park so hopefully Villa can do a bit of damage.

Operation Top at Christmas

Arsenal away to Luton tomorrow, could potentially be a bit tricky?

We have all the motivation we need for this one, big push now to get maximum points in this one and the Palace game, then fingers crossed Alisson will be back for the United game!

Massive few weeks ahead and we have to be on it all the time and 100% ruthless.
