    Are we allowed to say that Dan Neil pass was terrible

    Doesn’t look like Neil as a CB to me?

    surely the back three are Hume - Ballard - Onien?

    Gone 3 at the back and really wide wing backs?

    Not sure what's happening with this shape mind. Think he wants to control possession and bring out from the back but Neil is literally miles out of position already.

    think it’s a back three in possession then he’ll drop in out of possession. But let’s see

    One thing I will say is it’s really brave of RLB. Away from home vs Sheff Utd

    the easy obvious answer is to put another defender on, like Sheff Utd have. He’s said “no”. It’s a sign he wants to win not draw, IMO

    2 different formations, looks like 441 out if possession with Neil dropping into CB and 3141 in possession

    Interested to see how it pans out

    Wilson is pissing me off. His back to goal work is absolutely poor.

    Tbf was a shocker, it's like he's not scanned the field to see how much time he's got

    Made some nice runs down the channel but got to show more with his back to goal - I think he gets too upright so it's easier for defenders to get around him

    especially seeing Sheff Utd have taken a step back by bringing on a right back for their attacking midfielder

    Like to see Mayenda for Roberts soon, let him have a crack at it. Could do some damage with his pace.

    Are Sheffield struggling to concentrate, they have been poor since the restart and been making really silly mistakes.
