Pre Match Thread | Sunderland v City

[Man city fan 72]

Fern and Sagna need a rest

Agreed!

 

[leighton]

I be tempted to play a 4-4-2 and I would play both Kun and Bony from the start.
Willy
Sagna MDM , Otamendi , Kolarov
Navas , Fernando , KDB , Sterling
Kun , Bony

We need to get back to winning ways and we need to get minutes to Otamendi , MDM , Fernando and KDB.

My Team:

Willy,

Maffeo, MDM, Otamendi, Kolarov

Fernando, George Evans, KDB, Sterling

Bony e Iheanacho

Sub: Hart, Sagna, Fernandinho, Yaya, Navas, Aguero, Roberts

Is this yet another game where we can't play the youth again because it's too important?

bring one or two of the young uns on when or if we are a couple up and in control wont do harm

I be tempted to play a 4-4-2 and I would play both Itchy and Bony from the start.
Willy
....... MDM , Otamendi , Kolarov
Navas , Fernando , KDB , Sterling
Itchy , Bony

I am not sure about the RB position. Don't know much about Maffeo . We need to get back to winning ways and we need to get minutes to Otamendi , MDM , Fernando and KDB.

I am hoping SAFC will decide with they really have to give everything towards Premiership survival. If I was a Sunderland fan I'd be feeling sick already. Another season of nail biting and frustration ahead. They might think that City are beatable, which of course we are, and vulnerable given the injuries, games and other priorities we have, and therefore they may see us as a way of kick-starting their season, but more likely I think they will rest players and give absolutely everything towards Premiership survival.

They have Utd at the weekend. If they lose there they will be cut adrift.

we need bony and aguero to get confidence by scoring a few

Good shout, I saw this game as more of a opportunity to rest big names but it could be the perfect chance for Serg to get his mojo back.

It is time to put some youngsters in the starting line-up even though I don't like advocating it.
But Kun need to be rested as he is obviously not fully recovered from the Palace game and with our injury list we cannot afford for any more of the key players to get injured.

Would be nice to see Zucca getting a full match.
