Match Thread Sheffield United v Leicester

[The Old Fox]

Five at the back is really not surprising: Justin is good on the right but needs protection when on the left and Thomas is not ready to be given the spot; yet. Having made that decision, Rodgers obviously feels more direct attacking is required.

You may argue that Perez has not set the world on fire but, Nacho hasn't looked sharp in his last couple of outings and we are short of quality attackers.

I can't say this team sets my pulse racing, but I can understand the choices.

 

[tedfoxxx]

Seriously, the back five again?

 

[M17TT C]

Perez could be supporting Vardy?? would be good.

That would mean Maddison would be out wide where he is a bit wasted.

 

[mabrah]

What everyone says.

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

If we’re talking betting, McBurnie hasn't scored this season.
hot tip from the ever obliging Leicester City

It’s a tier 3 game, so all the pubs are closed. No concerns about Madders then

 

[Graz]

Gah, really thought we'd see Ünder play in a 4-1-4-1 today.

Like I've said before, I'm fine with the back 3/5 for some games but think we need to mix it up - and this is one where could play more attackers.

We struggle to break teans down, we know that's what Sheff Utd will play for, and this feels like playing right into their plans.

And Perez?! Wtf did that came from

That lineup has a stench of lunacy about it and the person who selected it would appear to have a slim grip on reality.

 

[Payne74]

Was feeling slightly confident until the pundit said SHU have only scored 1 goal at home and it was a penalty.... ****, now were going to ship a sack full from corners

 

[londonfox]

But our budget is bigger so it doesn’t matter.

Just getting a slight feeling that you don’t like Rodgers any more

 

[mabrah]

These days, I fear corners. I always think we'll concede, especially against sides, like SU, who will attack the ball.

 

[homer]

Ouch

 

[mabrah]

Lovely ball from Perez

 

[Miles Away]

Super start and Perez heavily involved. Encouraging.

 

[mabrah]

We need to convert this pressure into a goal.

 

[popillius]

Much better start. Perez and Vardy looking lively.

Maddison can't take a set piece.

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

****in hell Maddison, what is the point of you taking set pieces mate

 

[Miles Away]

Oh Maddison you twat.

 

[homer]

Again - Albrighton on the pitch and we still have clunt taking set pieces

Ridiculous
