Not ideal! Sounds like he’s fallen out with too many players to rebuild.

I strongly believe that Sheffield United should keep their powder dry to fire him on Monday after we've put 5 past them on Sunday!

Much preferable to us facing them on Sunday with their squad itching to show new management what they can do.

Teams are very unpredictable after sacking a manager. Could go either way this!

As you say Mersey, could go either way: shackles off and they have a blinder or could have a lot of distraught players not up for it.

Combinations of issues have done for them this Season.

A Pearson figure for them without the Marmite effect.

Instinct says this is more likely to benefit us rather than hurt us, as long as we approach the match in the right way.

But I wouldn't want to swear to it.

I think I’d be more concerned if they had a new manager in for the game.

Interested to see our team selection and formation.

Only just been confirmed, the lateness could be to our advantage but with other teams slipping up it's looking more likely they'll get something out of the game.
