Sheffield United - Shithousing and Rockets

Today City went to Sheffield to play the red and white team of Sheffield. Sheffield United are a good side, they've come out of the Championship playing good football, looking organized and looking to keep the ball.

He looked composed along side Jonny Evans, but Evans is a Rolls Royce of defender himself. Harvey Barnes as a second half sub looked lively, made Perez's performance looked labouring and slow in comparison. Ricardo as usual was solid at right back and Albrighton looked engaged when he was int...
