Meyler doing the presser with Leonid today. please log in to view this image “Sheffield United are a very strong team and play very aggressively at home. It will be a normal Championship game like always.” “Tomori will play in Hector's place as we now have only one option. I'm sure Tomori will perform well.” “I'm trying to keep in a positive mood but it is difficult after tough results. I'm continuing to find the optimum starting eleven.” ”It's a really difficult time for us after two home losses but I'm sure in my players and I know their qualities.” “Sheffield have kept their squad after their promotion last year and that has helped them with maximum preparation.” “My first target is to find stability and find the maximum combinations in our team. We know we need time.” “We have a lot of experience in our team and they will help our young players. We have to forget the last two results and focus.” "I don't have pressure from the owners. He supports me. He says I have time." please log in to view this image “We're frustrated and annoyed. We need to improve. The players have to take full responsibility for both performances.” “I'm not too concerned because I know how tough the Championship is. We need to keep working hard and believe the results will come” “We've hit a bad patch but every team does in this league. Tomorrow has to be a fresh start for us and we need the three points.” “The manager is the man for us. We all enjoy working for him and he believes in his players. We're all on the same page.” On his future - “My agent met with the owner 6-7 weeks ago but I’ve heard nothing since.” The end.
Philip Buckingham @PJBuckingham Leonid Slutksy was in good spirits ahead of facing Sheffield Utd tomorrow. Gave the impression he had no fears for his job. Pretty bullish.
Glad Meyler's beard has gone, was making him look 10 years older. He says his agent spoke to the club a few weeks ago about contracts but nothing back yet. So does this mean he will be gone soon and someone on Twitter mentioned the same thing with Dawson.
Still trying to work out his best starting 11 .. thought he said that would be the case after the previous international break .. the more I hear from the bloke the less I am convinced
I'd like to think he comes across better behind closed doors because his lack of confidence is so disheartening. He should have gone after the Boro game in my opinion.
How **** must mazuch be in training for him to say tomori is the only option at CB? In he's injured and iissed it....
Well, the back five picks itself due to injuries and suspension. I'm guessing Grosicki will return - not sure which midfielder would drop out for him.
With our squad I think plus 6pts is the best we could have hoped for with any manager willing to come here Given time Sluts might become a good championship manager just like Fergie became a good prem manager as did Phil Brown To blame all our failings on the manager atm is a bit harsh and firing him would be a bit like Russian roulette
