Sunderland Vs City Pre match Discussion Thread

[lasereyes]

Why would Aguero and Negredo be tired? 4 days full rest after a home game. Don't disrupt a partnership that is really starting to blossom. What we don't need is Dzeko lumbering around and seeking his own glory.

Could have timed our clash better....SAFC won their last 2 home games, and they lost their last away game 1-0 to an og with 9 men. They are fighting at last.

Should still beat them

They have won our last two visits. Both down to the officials. Play it fair and well bury them.

Re: City on tv

That's cool. I wish it was like that in the UK without needing to rely on streams with varying picture quality. It's a bit ironic that when I go abroad I see far more televised premier league matches.

Don't NBC show every single PL game of each team every weekend?

If that happened over here the crowds in the stadiums would reduce massively.

They do both live television and streaming online. And I like our announcers better too.

Tim Howard was commentating for NBC the other day and he was God awful. So much mumbling. I do like Arlo White and Lee Dixon as a team though.

Re: City on tv

Yes I agree, NBC blessed us royally. To be able to watch it streaming or on TV or my phone, glorious. Still need to fish around to watch Cup matches and Champs league but I'll take the PL over all of those.

Yeah we get a 3pm Saturday kick off televised every week in Ireland, but the thinking behind limiting matches shown on the u.k. is that it encourages fans to attend games so I can understand it.
Think about it, if you're from Leicester and City are on tv, are you going to attend the Leicester game?

All out!

Are you the club physio? Or the club resident fisherman?

 

[Stoned Rose]

We will absolutely bum these.

Assuming the injury situation doesn't change I'd go for:

Pants (bring Hart back after international break)
Zaba
Demichelis
Nastasic
Kolarov
Nasri
Rodwell (sub after 60/70 - bring on Navas and move Milner in)
Yaya
Milner
Aguero
Negredo

 

[6one]

Hart
Zabaleta Demichelis Lescott Kolarov
Silva Fernandinho Yaya Nasri
Aguero Negredo.


I think it's important to keep consistency next to demichelis. Nastasic has been poor and sunderland likely to rely on long balls forward. Clichy has been woeful.

Silva didn't look majorly injured to me
