8:50 marker - "a clear game plan" spot on young man 👍
⚔️ UTB ⚔️
Don’t judge Sheff Utd on last season. That team has been dismantled with 16 players leaving and 12 arriving. Only 1 defender Ahmedhodzic is still playing from last season. New goalie Cooper, hasn’t had much to do but so calm, knows when to come off his line and great with both feet easily able to deal with back passes. The central defenders are giants, 6ft 5 Ahmedhodzic and 6ft 7
Souttar, so with 6ft 5 Keiffer Moore we deal with corners and set pieces so easily. The highest quality player is Hamer in midfield but he sometimes drifts out of games, the best player is probably defensive midfielder young Ollie Arblaster, he’s like a metronome making the game look easy playing loads of easy short passes. Our downside is the attack isn’t firing yet and we don’t exactly look free scoring but seriously can’t see us conceding more than 1 goal in any match. It’s not that we’ve not conceded in 6 matches but we’ve not even come close to conceding yet. Next game alway at Leeds should test the defence but they’ll feel confident.
I say this every time but the prem is impossible to compete in unless u splash 150 mil+. Last season was really hard to watch but feel we’ll get it right this time should we go up again
Thanks so much for the comment!
You forgot Robinson is still with us and Norrington Davies
@FALslayer Was just coming to say this 👍
@@thefootballpark Last season we were playing a 5 back and this season we're playing a 4 back which has helped.
We've also let Bogle, Lowe, Trusty, Foderingham, Grbic, Basham, Egan, O'Connell and Holgate all go from our defensive ranks and recruited Shakleton, Burrows, McCallum, Souttar, Gilchrist, Cooper into the defence as well as utilising our fantastic youth players in the likes of Seriki and Peck and Arblaster along with the likes of O'Hare, Moore, Rak-Sayki up the top end of the pitch.
We're in a much more stable situation and I think most of use Blades just wanted to stop the rot of goals conceded last season. The only thing I can say is from those games/clean sheets we've been pretty lucky, a 1-0 win where it was a FK that got us the goal and 2x 1-0s where we've won because of Own Goals which would be my only criticism
They’ve got the best keeper in the league in Mike Cooper. Club legend at Argyle
He’s not had much to do but it’s no coincedence that since he’s played, the defence looks so much better. Cooper reminds me of Dean Henderson, both had a swagger about them. Cooper is confident because he know’s he’s good. We’ve not seen any saves yet but it’s his calmness and ability to receive back passes and kick with both feet that stands out. We’re impressed with MC, seems a nice lad too, so thank you Argyle.
Hopefully United get promoted and Plymouth get full value for Cooper as an add on, not sure what that would be but another £3m would still seem like a bargain.
@@sheffsteel7 Hopefully you lot get promoted, would love to see him in the Prem
@@PAFC-Louie In the prem and playing for England. he was an absolute steal for Sheffield.
@@sheffsteel7he was a brick wall vs portsmouth
Harry Souttar was undervalued at Leicester for some reason. He has made a huge difference.
Reyt player
Last season wasn’t on CW at all. The writing was on the wall in the week leading up to the first game
Ye when we were playing basham in midfield and Benie Traore up top I knew it was over lol🤣🤦♂️
When we sold our 2 best players we knew it was over
Squads better now than it was in the prem. At the beginning atleast 100%
That's a proper comment my friend it was over before it began no money got embarrassed unfortunately that's football 👍 utb
Hecky managed us for alot of last season, wilder didn't manage us for the whole season. Also and we were pretty much down by time he took control. Souter gilchrist burrows and Cooper were amazing deals that's why our defence is so strong
3 knowledgeable young fellas . Refreshing channel. 👍nice one boys......subbed.
Thanks so much Simon❤️
Yeah couldn’t agree more. Honest assessment. Been a blade 30 years and delighted with how Chris has come in (when we were practically down), gotten rid of some real fan favourites and refreshed with youth and vigour. Great video. Subbed.
We Blades have now got a solid defence and decent keeper. However we still don't have a decent 'nailed on' goalscorer, even two would be better. We're only nine games in so it's not a good measure of how we're doing yet, especially when we're scoring so few goals. Away to Leeds after the break, followed by an away match at Boro will be a good barometer of how we're doing.... I'm not hopeful. Hope I'm wrong.
I feel exactly the same...I really like the team we've put together but I think after Leeds and Boro away we'll come back with our feet on the ground....and that might be a good thing for the rest of the season, who knows....also, I have PTSD from the last season in Prem :))) so not sure I want us to go back there so soon LOL
The QPR home game where we conceded 2 was bizarre
idk but that was the last game robinson played before his injury and since then souttar has started every match
Adam Davies was in net, bloke couldn't catch a cold.
Think that was more our own cockiness/arrogance thinking the game was over at ht
Souttar and Cooper didn’t start in that game
A better team this season than the one that kicked the season off against Palace last year. Bizarre but true
True, last season was bizarre in the extreme.
@@eightw5783 I’ve never in my life lest games early. Last season pub by 3:30pm, and on the train by 9pm for night games.
Such an underdog story. Keiffer Moore, Callum O'hare, Gustavo Hamer.. Rak-saki. One of the biggest wage budgets in the league. Amazing story for all involved.
Great refreshing channel love these deep dives thank you fellas. Keep them coming. Could you please do a deep tactical dive on Paul Cooks chesterfield please ?
Thanks so much for the kind words mate! We will 100% do a breakdown of Chesterfield this season.
Great pod lads, I’ll be back for the next one, looking forward to hearing your analysis ⚔️
Thanks so much mate… don’t tell anyone, but we will be releasing some out Sheffield United tactical breakdown soon 👀
18 players out, 10 in. new formation and complete different way of playing and some people said Wilder was a dinosaur 😂 UTB⚔️
Wilder, a man with a point to prove, is determined to get back to where United were before the post-pandemic capitulation.
He’ll only spit his dummy out and cry the second things don’t go his way though
Quite amazing that nobody comments on the great defence the Blades had when they finished 9th in the premier league a few years ago. That solid defence was Baldock, Basham, Egan, O'Connell & Stevens all suffered injuries with two players finishing their careers too early. Obviously, this was the main reason for the terrible 23/4 season in the Premier league and now Wilder has strengthened that area and is reaping the rewards !!!!
Will we see a repeat of that fantastic Sheffield United team?
I've been a Sheffield united supporter for 64 years and believe me I've seen some fantastic seasons and some brutal seasons especially last season 💩 but this season we've rebuilt a very strong squad with CW our messiah doing some unbelievable business in the off session. And it's very refreshing to see a vlog like this from knowledgeable neutrals who see exactly the way it is with complete clarity 👏 well done boys and C'MON YOU BLADES 👏 💪👏
Thanks so much for the comment and watching!
@@mr.vancouver007 so your first season was 1960. Seen some good players then. My first was 1966. UTB
We are having a great season so far and Chris wilder has shown his knowledge and class by building a squad capable of winning the league outright. Leeds will be a good test to measure what this squad is truly capable of. Chris Wilder is proving that he can achieve great things with the Blades this time around, but he is not the Messiah. There is only ONE Messiah and that is Jesus Christ. There is no other. Have a blessed day. UTB! ⚔️
I’m a 65 yo Blade and this is a great team of nice blokes, a team with passion
Can we win the league but decline promotion........its nicer down here 😅
If only it worked like that. Thanks for watching
I am a blade, while it has been good season so far, the best thing for me is we Sufc can do better. Both physically with the players lasting longer in games Gilchrist, O,'Hare etc and then maintaining higher levels through out the 90+. Also with so many new players coming in its been interesting to seeing partnership forming you mentioned Blasted and Souza. But they are forming all over the pitch no more so than Ahmedhodzic and Sputter which is quickly becoming one of my favourite centre half partnerships for the Blades. My personal favourite is Harrison Burrows, whom I believe like United have not even got out of 1st gear yet.
Weaknesses you cry
* As mentioned Fitness= improving maybe even more so with what seems like so many international breaks.
* Squad depth = I would say this is most blades fans fear, but youth players have excelled when given the chance so have players on the fringe.
*Squad disharmony = None that I can tell
*Lack of goals= with the solid base like The film 'field of Dreams' if we build it they will come ⚽⚽
The one thing I tuck more than the 3points from Luton town was the polar opposites, the Blades looked confident, hungry like they not only knew their jobs but they
had a sense of purpose and direction obviously this comes from the manager and backroom staff. The only thing I see stopping Sheffield United is Sheffield United
This is why I love wilder. I feel it’s his mission to put things right from last season. Hes honestly trying to get 100% out of these new players.
With wilder at the helm we've got a man with so much experience and knows what it takes to be successful in the championship.
Soutta and anel are the cornerstone of defence atm, with gilchrist and burrows it's an insane combination, not sure how we bring Jack Robinson back into the formation when he returns from injury.
Hamer, souza, arblaster are crazy good midfield and we have a fantastic young talent in Sydie peck.
Kieffer Moore alot of people criticise him but I think he's great. Big strong guy, creates chances looks solid with the ball.
I wouldn't say we are undefeatable but we do look strong, just need a consistent goal scorer. It's a great time to be a blade.
Thanks so much for the comment Dave❤️
Not one mention of Paul heckinbottom managing last season...
Why on earth would the blades have got rid of wilder in the summer when he only came a few months prior and then had to do the job with Paul's squad
Cooper is the biggest addition to our squad, we haven't had a quality and consistent keeper since Henderson. Foderingham did a job, but he was nervy on crosses and didnt command the defence. You could see this last season with the amount of goals we let in, but it was also evident the season before when we were promoted, we just overcame the issue by scoring goals. Souttar and Burrows have been great additions, but without Cooper, I dont think we would be as calm at the back as we are. And a solid defence, lets the midfielders and attackers get on with their jobs.
A very good point. Cooper is arguably the most underrated part of this team 🤩
Heckingbottom was in charge for two thirds of that awful season and he could hardly be blamed either. He had the rug pulled from under him right before the first game when we sold Ndiaye and Berge to a newly promoted rival.
The writing was on the wall early on last season and Wilder could never turn it around with the squad he inherited and it was purely about damage limitation until he could rebuild.
We were down while Hecky was in charge albeit not mathematically. Wilder had a free hit and a few months to figure out who was staying, who was going and what we needed to get through the door for this season.
They also have only had one tough fixture so far this season. Judge them at the start of December.
I suspect you are not a Sheffield United fan…
@@thefootballpark you suspected correct. They’ve had a good start and they could well carry it on, but they have some tricky games coming up, which will let us know where they are at.
Good analysis lads UTB!!
Thank you!
It wasn’t wilders team tho, Paul Heckingbottom who did well to say the board/chairman sold our two best players, just before the season started. Wilder took over and had to get rid of dead wood before he could start building his own team
A great point. He was not helped by the start to 23/24
There are similarities between this team and cw last team he took up,albeit a different formation (a nice pie in the eye for people who said he was a one trick pony), and dare I say it,look even more confident. We are not even firing on all cylinders yet at the top of the pitch, and when everything clicks,someone is going to get a serious pasting,I’m hoping it clicks on November 10th 😉. Good video lads,utb
A big call!
Love this journey but not really bothered about the destination
Me and the boy are season ticket holders and its insane how good it is atm utb ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️😊
Thanks so much for watching Gareth. Keep enjoying the season!
Also got rid of defensive bombscares like Trusty , Bogle and Lowe.
I for one didn’t want Wilder back but….
Two points from next two games; we'll take that - but maybe Wilder won't wear that as a target!
Of course not, but a very good take away from some tough games
@@thefootballpark Certainly!
Some good analysis, but try to get the names right - it's Souza, not Costa! ;-)
Be interesting to see how they get on playing the other teams in the top 5.
Very interesting…
Heckinbottom did the damage kid not Wilder with a disastrous summer recruitment.
The prince and the board did the real damage ⚔️⚔️
Let's see how they get on ,on the 18th when they go to Elland Road. We might find out the truth.
@@bigwhite4051 agree….the Sheff Utd defence looks consistently impressive but they’re not played any of the top teams yet. Next 2 games are away to Leeds, then away to Boro. Now we’ll see if how good that defence really is. I’m a Blade but looking forward to it.
De Souza not Costa
It’s still very early days, let’s not get carried away.. championship is the most unpredictable league In the league, anyone can beat anyone on their day.
A great point. But certainly a strong start
Leeds proven promotion winners??
Arguably the biggest promotion bottlers of the last 20 years
Can’t argue with that
Good shout about Sunderland showing vulnerabilities. The way they played against Leeds after taking the lead there's no way they're staying at the top for long. Sheff Utd look fantastic, they're undefeated still, brilliant defensively and brilliant in attack too so I definitely think they'll be top 2. I still feel Leeds will be right up there with them, and I think Norwich are going under the radar because they're starting to play really well
Its Souza not Costa
Thanks Michael
Get these lads on MOTD - they're far more knowledgeable and informed than the same old tired punditry who fawn over the same teams.
Thank you for the praise❤️😂
Dismantling the championship
I wouldn’t go that far
A very very dodgy free kick against Derby
Is all that separated the teams wouldn’t say dismantling exactly
Sheffield united was competitive in the premiership when Wilder took over? But only for 50 minutes of a match and then they let in at least 5 ?
who have u playe
Dem blades
Traoré, Slimane, Osborne, Norwood, McBurnie, Egan, Archer, Grbic (keeper), all gone. Best player from last season Robinson can’t get in the team
Not best but put in consistently decent performances. Hamer, Arblaster & Diaz were better.
@@eightw5783 I meant in the context of giving to the best of his ability,I didn’t make that clear. I was glad to see the back of the other players, Egan excepted, JLT will be bench warmer this season.
Gilchrist. Souter
Can we stop the hype please? We prefer to be under the radar. Also, we're swamped with loan players so this isn't permanent.
Wait till they meet Leeds
Ooooooooo
before there dismatled in the prem again
Can’t blame you for that thought, but this team is much younger and could with more wise acquisitions possibly survive if we make it. To be honest though the Premier League is all about money and it’s really two leagues….the top probably twelve who are fixtures and the bottom eight which means the newcomers need to finish above the bottom three out of this eight. It’s a tough gig. Note, I said could and possibly.
@@peterlangan1181 ik im a forest fan but will you just be stupid like most teams and try to play good football in a league you will be religated for doing so
They will be beaten off Leeds no worry on that
They havent plaued anyone yet .....
Watford won three in a row till they came to the Lane. You can only beat what’s in front of you.
They've played nearly half the league you plank
They’ve played 9 games
Least bitter weeds fan
