Hart
Zabaleta
Demichelis
Sagna
Clichy
Fernandinho
Yaya
Lampard
Navas
Jovetic
Aguero

Our problems before with them have come from not being able to break down and throwing the same thing over and over at them.

Think Jesus needs to keep his place because we need his speed, despite his form. Lampard in because of his goal threat, same reason why I have Jovetic over Nasri even though Samir is in a purple patch.

 

[PALESTINIAN HEARTED MANC]

agree with

Hart

Sagna - Zabaleta - Demichelis - Clichy

Fernandinho - Fernando

Navas - Yaya Touré - Nasri

Aguero

I'm fairly confident MP is bluffing when he keeps talking up Boyata

Not sure what team I'd go with but I'd have Milner there and I'm tempted to say Fernando as well. Lampard also staking a claim - its great to have so much midfield competition (and so much more flexible with only 1 striker!).

1-0 Sunderland is worth a tenner of anyone's money. £180 quid will soften the blow of the annual defeat at the Stadium of Light.

We laid the Everton bogy to rest last season. We've just laid the Southampton one to rest. Now for the biggest of all — the SOL.

anyone know where i can watch the match ?

 

[Lee the Blue]

Itll be 1-0 to Sunderland and Rodwell will get the goal.

Ill be putting money on that outcome.

Just throwing money away. We'll be well up for this and I reckon that this
so called "Bogey Side" will be put to the sword.

Our last 5 at the stadium of light (W0, D1, L4):
1-1
1-0
1-0
1-0
1-0

WTF!, SoL is a deathtrap for us!!

We beat Southampton at their place, breaking a semi-hoodoo... time to roll over Sunderland...

Would be interesting to see how many of those loses were without Kompany?

Don't forget, Sunderland will be knackered from their Chelsea defense and will in no way defend with the same intensity as they did v Chelski.... we'll capitalise (hopefully) on the smallest laps in concentration...

against soton there was a determination, a sort of 'right lets get this done' attitude right from the start. Chasing down and pressing was excellent, we were dictating the game in a way not seen enough this season. Carry on in the same vein, even against a dedicated park-the-bus outfit like Sunderland and we will win comfortably. Losing VK and EM is not a death-blow, our squad can cope with this, as long as the attitude is right. Another reason i feel confident is the number of times a sequence of results ends at '6', fate is on our side.
