Tbf think Newcastle have been the better team so far

 

[AndyWolves]

Should be 2-1 so that cancels out

 

[Jack Regan]

I'm surprised United went with Sharp and McBurnie again from the start. McGoldrick and Mousset offer them so much more mobility up top, can only assume neither are fully fit.

Get in Toon Army!

 

[Jack Regan]

That should be the end of that.

 

[Banjo]

Great strike. This has been an incredible weekend of results for us so far

 

[Banjo]

Also, I couldn't give two hoots about the Villa so would gladly see them win today. A draw means we've still got Chelsea's superior goal difference to contend with.

 

[YoungWolf]

Sheffield United looking like the worst affected by the pandemic. Can't get going at all, going to take them at least another game or two to get to the intensity they want to I think and by then might be too late

 

[AndyWolves]

What's happened to sheff United? They look hungover

Agree with this. Feel a bit dirty wanting the Villa to win, but here we are.

 

[AndyWolves]

There's glimpses here and there for sheff United so maybe they will come good

 

[PuntsWolf]

Sheff Utd aren’t getting a win from Man Utd without Egan and potentially O’Connell. Particularly if they continue with this front 2. So I writing them off for top 6 here and now.

No Henderson either!

Ok, stop football now... Joelinton has scored

 

[sycophantia]

Sheff Utd have massively over performed this season given the quality of players they have, credit to them and Wilder, think we all expected them to fade away sooner than this, the break has obviously affected them big style.
I've been quite impressed with St Maximan the last few times I've seen him, thought at first he was a bit of a headless chicken but think he's improved quite a lot.......budget Traore

 

[jd1981]

I’d still have Sheff Utd down for a 8th or 9th finish still but their GD is getting battered here to.

 

[Jinky]

Lovely stuff from Newcastle here. Sheffield United’s goal difference taking a hit.

What a week of results for us so far.

 

[Jack Regan]

Even Joelinton couldn't miss that one.

I wonder whether the lack of a crowd has affected them the most? Reduced them to the sum of their parts which individually aren't PL standard rather than a cohesive unit bonded by their supporters

 

[Alan]

Newcastle look decent. Sheffield look lost.
