Why are we less fit than any of other teams in the Premier League. Look at the energy of the Leeds' players in the first half yesterday 

Europa League and injuries. More games and less options to rotate.

Brendan: “Against Sheffield Utd you need to be as physical as possible”

 

*picks Perez and Maddison

Anyone have a feeling that these conservative formations and team selections reflects how low our fitness stats could be at the moment ???

I think the injuries plus Europa are taking their toll similar with what happened to Wolves. Perhaps we’ll have a really good second half to the season, but not expecting much till 2021.

Fully expecting a sheff Utd win

[oxtonfox]

I don't get the back three - we have been poor recently with that. Maybe Brendan knows better than me. I'll give hime one more chance. 

[SixtiesFox]

An overly cautious lineup as per usual. Hoping and praying for a win, but the fact that we are all so fearful we're going to lose against the bottom club says it all really.

[South Shire Fox]

Not alot of pace in that side and Mark Albrighton playing.. worrying. Hope we can pull something out the bag

Our win at Man City is ruining the season

[Foxin_Mad]

100% Sheff Utd win with that negative team, combined with the fact they havent won, they are improving we are getting worse. No other result.

[ozleicester]

phew,, possibly the most negative pre match ive read....

 

cmonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn yoooooooooooooooooooooooo bloooooooooooooooooooooooosssssssssss

[Stuntman_Mike]

I just don't know what to expect at all.

 

Win and we go second for now which is great, but I don't feel confident at all..

If he's saving ünder and Barnes for later in the match, when Sheffield United tire, then fair enough.

 

The issue is, conceding and then Sheffield United shutting shop. We haven't got the ability to cut teams open - let's hope for a Vardy Penalty.

I'm not surprised with 3 at the back, I am surprised with Perez. It's a clear message that Rodgers isn't Barnes and Under biggest fan currently. Hopefully Perez will show a bit more intent and get in the box. Still very little pace.

I agree with the 1st sentence but am hoping it is a mixture of a tactical masterclass and pure rotation for a long run of games in quick succession.

The good news is that Alex Scott is covering the game on sky.......hmmm yummy!

I think it's more the defeat to Liverpool that's ruining it. Confidence shot to peices and actually if only we were aggressive
