Neither concede many, which is always going to keep them in games. The clean sheet is priority number one.

Yeah, thats true..

 

[Tony Towner]

Burnley very much in the Europa league shake up After playing us they’ve got Norwich and Brighton

Burnley erroneously blamed the EL for their form last season. I don't think they'll want to finish any higher than 9th or 8th if City win their appeal

2-0 sheff United

Brings our result and approach into context a little I feel

 

[Jack Regan]

2-0! Nonexistent marking. Piss easy.

 

[Freddeno]

Unbelievable

Don't think it does really. Still think had we approached the game like we played between 25 and 40 minutes we would have won. We have to start games on the front foot.

 

[Premier Quality]

Will be a really bad result for us if they Sheffield win this.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It's going to be a strange finish. Two poor games and a win tomorrow and we are back in it.

 

[Freddeno]

yes, hoping for a draw at least...thought Lampards men would batter them but apparently not..

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Win tomorrow and this isn't a problem. In fact it becomes a favour.

 

[Freddeno]

If you know Lampard and his coaching style i expect at least two changes at half time to change things around

 

[AndyWolves]

I reckon kovacic will make an appearance

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

From 2 nil down? Doubt it

 

[prawnking]

Can't agree with that. We'd still be 5 pts behind them with three games to go. Forget 3rd, we need to look at securing 6th, everyone down to 10th is three points away from us... Draw or (hopefully) Chelsea win for me

 

[Freddeno]

I think he will go 2 up top with giroud and abraham

Depends whether you back yourselves I guess. 5 points behind with two games and they have Liverpool and ourselves.

 

[sycophantia]

Its all gone to shit. The good thing is, its still in our own hands

 

[Freddeno]

Alonso and Rudiger on :surrender:

 

[AndyWolves]

Chelsea matching them up, that's a bit naïve.

Sheff United have played this system for years, no way chelsea can be as effective when they play it

I see where you're coming from, just figuring in the way Chelsea played against us earlier in the season and how Liverpool have been since the restart. It seems a bit tight, but I'd love you to be right!
