Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admitted some frustration after their 0-0 draw at Watford.
Wilder felt they lacked a cutting edge in the final third.
He said, "When you come away from home in the Premier League and play the way we did it is good, but we couldn't really find that final pass.
"If we can't win then we need to take something from these games. The balance of the team is good with the amount of possession and chances we had, the players were outstanding.
"I think we're a couple of points light, but nine points is a decent start. We've got a nice tasty game against Arsenal to look forward to after the international break."
