The players need to be prepared to run their socks off for this one, or we’ll lose.

Their cup final.

I can't help wondering how many of the players truly understand the significance of this game.

Roberto
Fredericks Diop Balbuena* Masuaku
Noble Rice Wilshere
Yarmolenko Haller Anderson

Martin, Zabaleta, Ogbonna*, Snodgrass, Lanzini, Fornals, Ajeti

* maybe a bit harsh on Ogbonna but I’d be tempted to chuck Balbuena in to try something different.

Don’t disagree with starting Snodgrass Bubbs. Needs to be central though and not wide as Pellegrini has played him lately. I’d personally have Lanzini, Anderson and Yarmo competing for two wide spots - and take Fornals out of the firing line for a few games.

I’d still love to see us play 3-5-2 or 3-5-1-1 with these players. Hopelessly failed to address our midfield issue in the summer.

Totally agree.

I’d also replace Anderson with a better prospect. Where is Stevie Bacon these days?

The only players that deserve to keep their place is: Roberto (has to anyway tbf), Fredericks, Ogbonna and Diop, who was my MOTM against Everton.

Some will unfortunately have to keep their place as we are seriously lacking in quality. But I would make some changes and especially drop some players off the bench to make a big statesman and remind certain players these performances won't be tolerated.

I would go back to what worked last season when we went on a good run. Pack the midfield out a little bit. Sheffield Utd are going to be a tough team to break down so I can see Pellers hoping we can do what we did at home to Burnkey last season. I.e. We know we won't be able to beat them in the air, so just just and bombard them, out play them, and try to outscore them.

My team:

-------------------------------Roberto-----------------------------

-Fredericks-------------Diop--------Ogbonna------------Masuaku-

---------------------------------Rice---------------------------------

--------------------------Noble------Snodgrass--------------------

Yarmolenko-------------------Haller---------------------Anderson-


Subs: Martin, Johnson, Balbuena, Sanchez, Lanzini, Holland, Ajeti.

Roberto
fredericks diop ogbonna cresswell
noble rice Snodgrass
yarmolenko haller Anderson

subs martin zabaleta Balbuena ajeti Holland lanzini Coventry

Roberto
Fred Diop Oggie Arfa
Rice Noble
Yarmo Anderson
Haller Ajeti

Subs Martin Zaba Balbuena Snodgrass Lanzini Fornals Holland

Time for 2 up front and take the game to them. Our 2 most creative players Anderson and Lanzini are bang out of form (or confidence or something) so can't play both, if Felipe cant find his mojo after an hour then give Manu a go.
