Sunderland (a) Pre-Match Thread

[ShieldsBlackCat]

It's got dropped points written all over this.

Cannot agree less. It will be a training session for your boys. I love MCFC If you aren't 4-0 up at half time at least I will eat my season card. If Stoke can be 3-0 in just over half an hour then God knows what your brilliant boys like Aguero who will walk through our non existent defence, Nasri and Fernandinho will do. I am thinking one of the heaviest home defeats in PL history. I am thinking if we can only have one shot against Everton, Cab will have nothing to do for 90 minutes.

Just being realistic about the state we are in. We are as bad as we were in the 15 point season. I can't see any part of our game that is positive. Tackling is non existent, players have refused to run, set pieces are shocking, passing is to wild and the idea of shooting horrofies them. Both players, manager and owner need to take collective responsibility for the desperate place we are at. You don't need to worry.

Oh yes we do! I think you might be being unnecessarily pessimistic. I have watched Sunderland a fair bit on the box and unlike some clubs you are fighting. Going away to a struggling club at this time of season, when all is not lost, but it soon might be, is the worst timing.

I think Leicester have saved themselves with Ranieri's sacking but Bournemouth look in trouble to me. Also Hull and Boro I think are going to stay down there as they can't score goals.

Rest easy, we've sent Nasri on holiday, so we'll just have to play this kid called de Bruyne. ;-)

Even if you do get beaten badly don't think you'll feel as bad as us after you dicked us 1-0 for the 4th time!

I'm going up Saturday for this match, night out around Sunderland and get mi head down in the Hilton, cos I'm upper class.

Not going to be easy we still need to match Sunderland's work rate and take the chances if and when they come to get the 3 points. As the first game of the season had shown there are no real guarantees and Moyes' sides always frustrate us (Preston and Everton especially).

 

[City_Sean]

Show our quality and have the game won by half time. We should have far too much for Sunderland, who've got a horrible injury list.

Sagna Stones Kolarov Fernandinho

Sane Aguero Sterling

4-1 City.

Cmon city there's a real feel good factor at the moment. We're back amongst the goals and everything is looking rosy again.

Usually means we're being lured in to a false sense of security and a 1-0 loss is incoming. Would love it another 1-5 and we're more than capable.

[Easy]

No easy game in the PL but if we show up and work hard we'll have too much for them.

They've lost 2-0 away to Everton last game and 0-4 at home to Southampton.

Lets not make it hard on ourselves. Score a few in the first half and take off an important player or two around the 60-70 min mark. The rest will be needed.
