This is a decent game between two teams with good energy when they are at it. We have been complementing West Ham - Manuel Pellegrini has been clever - but they went to Everton and everyone to a man was poor. Sheffield United, as we saw against Arsenal, are very good in their shape and in energy and togetherness. They are always at you, with four or five runners too. They have no real star qualities as individuals, but everybody buys into Chris Wilder's plan - it is raw honesty and desire that gets them there. The Blades don't score many, though, and I think West Ham will be angry after last week.
