Sheffield Utd boss Wilder admits they're struggling for goals

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admits they're struggling for goals.

The Blades have scored just seven goals in their opening seven games this season, with no player netting more than once.

Wilder said: "We've been pleased we've got the balance right, which I thought we did on Saturday, in terms of the performance, when to go forward, and when to take that opportunity to try and score.

"You've got to try and score against these teams! You can't just park yourself on the edge of the box for 95 minutes - that's not our way.

"But you've got to understand teams are going to push you back. Liverpool, not that our supporters might like it, might have more possession than us!

"We feel that our individual ability at the top of the pitch, if we get the performance right and we create chances, we have the ability to score.

"The pressure's on to score. Like I said, we'll have to get the points that we want."
