Balo not even on the bench, wonder why.

Who would you have him on the bench in replace of fella?

Keep him for Tuesday.

We've got 3 defenders on bench, could easily have left out one of them.

No probs with resting him, just always feel better if we have gamechangers if required.

I know what you mean but Mancini always goes with 3 defenders on the bench. It's not like Clichy can play centre back or anyone else can play left back (well) if Kolarov goes down.

And Balo is certainly that! For better or for worse :p Not all bad when you have Aguero or Silva who can come on though.

I have to say, I'm extremely concerned about Zabaleta - Kolarov.

I like the sunderland side. Very attacking lineup. Should suit our game perfectly.

Re: Sunderland v Manchester City Pre Match Discussion Thread

no Westwood, Bardsley, Bramble or Richardson - strange, doubt all injured

Because with the quality in the squad and having everyone fit, at least one big name is bound to miss out.
