How much do you take home Hourihane?

Admittedly he should have got it on target but overall he's been great, spreading it about at speed, finding Jack with an early ball. Impressed.
Which, at the end of the half/day, is equivalent to us being on 1 point and not three

Moving the ball far too slow.

In games like these, Luiz should be encouraged to have more shots from outside the box.

I think it's important to remember this our first game apart from an easy day out at Burton. You'd expect SU to be a little sharper than us.
It's not the sharpness, it's how we're approaching the game.  Slinging crosses into the box isn't a particularly sensible tactic against Sheff Utd but that's all we seem to be able to do.

I was actually quite optimistic about this, still completely unconvinced I’m afraid.

Be interested to see if Shakespeare has any solutions for the ten man conundrum we face as the other lot didn't seem to have too many answers last year.

You'd like to think with a player like Jack it's a scenario we'll be facing more than once this season and have practised accordingly.
