    Sort that defence out...

    3 at the back?

    Chester, Mings, Elphick

    Wing backs; El Ghazi, Elmo?
    With this in mind we do not need defensive midfielders like Whelan or Jedi.
    Bjarnson, Mcginn, Hourihane

    Green playing free role around Tammy?

    Jack can drop in there when he is fit?

    But we have to shore up that defence, Mings looks top draw!

    Was at the game last night right to the end

    Mings is class, an absolute beast of player and a self-assured leader - I also thought Elphick & Hutton did ok. Taylor on the other hand isn't a FB in a million years and we will continue to struggle as teams attack this position.

    Green - took his goal really well under huge pressure, needs a few games under his belt to determine whether or not he makes the grade. Kodja looked knackered and isn't a winger.

    Jedi - awful, mistake after mistake, having a go at his team-mates for his own shortcomings.

    For 80 mins we made it really easy for the Blades, no pressing, and really nervy, bereft of ideas & tempo when we had the ball, looking like we didn't know what we were doing and no movement higher up the pitch for a forward pass.

    Whelan - definitely a marmite player on social media, he was excellent and made an immediate impact. I just don't know about Hourihane, obviously has a worldy in him but can a midfield of him/Jack & Mcginn knit together with a DM?

    I'd recommend Whelan & McGinn pair up in front of the back 4 and Jack (when fit) go more advanced with Tammy, agree with Elmo as an option on one wing as he'll track back, El Ghazi didn't do so except once when dispossessed. In the absence of Jack go 4-4-2 with Tammy coming deeper and Kodja leading the line.
