Sunderland pre-match thread

A good win to paper over the cracks would be nice. Then go unbeaten until 2016 would be nicer

I think we will win but the performance may be akin to pulling out your own teeth one by one with pliers.

10 men behind the ball trying to hit us on the break. What a surprise!

If they open up against us we will hammer them by 5+

Has anyone else noted that following a balls and lungs out display by Scousepool, Villa & Stoke against us that none of them could maintain anywhere near the same level of application against the lesser lights and have been beaten by Palace+Watford, Everyone else and Palace again. The cunts! :)

Well we're their cup final. Everyone seems to know this but our management and players.

I think we will win this game easy might see us reverting to 2 up front with Bony and Kun playing together. I would go that way if I am honest. Will help Kun out to have Bony playing with him and playing off Bony will cause Sunderland a lot of problems with 2 up front.
Can see a few changes from last night and keeping some players for the away game at Leicester. Were we will revert back to Kun up front alone.

So my team for the game.
Hart
Sagna , Mangala , Otamendi , Clichy
KDB , Fernandhino , Delph , Sterling
Bony , Kun.

What i expect MP to go with
Hart
Sagna , Mangala , Otamendi , Kolarov
KDB , Fernandhino , Yaya , Silva , Sterling
Kun

Expect a bumming and it's not so disappointing when it happens

Excellent advice but can we keep the discussion focused on the match please?

If there ever was a time for a good convincing performance it was last night, however the match with Sunderland will suffice. Come on lads get your fingers out.

I would play two up front too. He wont drop Toure though. He never does.

hasn't started training yet - unless it's been kept quiet.

I've been told he has been training with the first team since Saturday. Whether or not he'll be fit enough to play, we'll see. I'd imagine Demichelis must be in the running for a start against Sun'lun after Mang and Otters performances the past few weeks.
