Sunderland V Man City Barclays Premierleague Cup thread.

[No17]

How's it looking guys?. Not got sky so can't witness the state of the
pitch.

the weather is as good as one can hope for...the pitch is not so dangerous :)

Pitch looks good compared to Wednesday. Heres hoping the weather holds out.

What I would like to see:

4-2-3-1

---------------Hart----------------
-Richards-Nastasic-Kompany-Clichy-
--------YaYa-----Fernandinho------
-Navas-------Silva------Jovetic----
-------------Negredo--------------

With:
- Jovetic shifting to the right side and playing mostly behind the striker.
- Silva roaming around the pitch.
- Attacks being played through right side and center, while disabling the left side

Swap Nastasić and Kompany round and I'd agree.

I wouldn't play Aguero today.

Friendlies are for testing new formations and learning how to deal with strikers being injured/suspended. We need to see how we play when we have to alter our formation because it's something we've never really been able to cope with.

Neither would I. Give him a little while longer to regain full fitness.

Yea, I misplaced Kompany and Nastasic, as you said, Kompany should play at right hand side with Nastasic on the left.

Totally agree with the view on the friendlies. I would like to see the formation I wrote, because I want to see all new players in action and how they link with each other and with the rest of the squad.

The pitch looks fine compared to our game vs south china not raining yet probably 30% of the grass is dry though.<br /><br />-- Sat Jul 27, 2013 8:17 pm --<br /><br />Also Moyes is in the stadium watching spurs and possibly us
