"Soucek, Paqueta out of position + nine others. Another borefest awaits"

[El Scorchio]

"I'm glad that despite us struggling last night Moyes rested all/most of the the big guns so they are fresh for this as it's a game we really must win and take advantage of if we want to push on. Unsure if their drubbing last weekend will be a plus for us, or a minus in that respect. Their fans will be up for this, not sure if any of their players or management give a shit any more."

"Does anyone think the line up will be different, it should be but will it..."

[Eerie Descent]

"There are absolutely no excuses for not giving this pile of shit an absolute going over. I've been told there's been a reason we've played like we have so far because of the respective opposition, so I'm expecting this £500mil squad to play well and win comfortably against these relegation fodder cunts."

*** motivation *** I mean mitigation

"Sheff Utd I guess will be a team that sit back and play Moyesball themselves? Luton did similar but this being at home will provide a new challenge to recent games. Creativity and finding a pass via Paqueta or set pieces via JWP again will be key you would think? But at the other end the concentration levels of Aguerd and to a lesser extent Zouma needed too as we have recently been undone by those little lobs over the top of our CBs. I imagine Sheff Utd also use set pieces so got to be tight in defence generally although the 3rd goal for Liverpool was the first set piece we have let in this season iirc? This game needs a win after City and Pool defeats. Moyes will pick the same team as per Liverpool with perhaps the exception of Benrahma coming in on the left but Paqueta’s outstanding display their last game might mean no changes? Moyes loves to play a bloke out of his best position doesn’t he? I still maintain we need better than Soucek, Antonio, Coufal and perhaps even Aguerd ( jury still out) long term as regular Premiership first 11 starters to really challenge at the top end but can’t foresee that happening while Moyes is at the helm. Only motivation to Moyes might be ( wild speculation / conspiracy theory :-) ) that Kretinsky might have some influence as it was allegedly him that made sure Soucek got a new 4 year deal?"

"There was a time when we had a reputation for gifting points to the teams in need at the bottom of the division, lets hope those days are behind us and we stuff them!"

[Side of Ham]

I don’t think that humiliating thrashing they got will do us any favours in regards to us breaking them down….

"Back to PL and it's Sheffield United, who are no doubt blaming us and Tevez for their 8-0 thrashing against Newcastle COME ON YOU IRONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
