Providing the Brighton game goes without injury or Richardson scoring a hat-trick playing in the left back position, I would like a more positive approach from the main man this saturday against Swansea.
1. Switch Bardo to left back, the lad won player of the season in this position last year and has proved already he is better in that position than anyone in our squad. I think as he is playing on the left, it allows him to unleash the old Bardsley thunderbolt, which we seen last season. He tried one against the ****ing fat, ugly, black & white butt plugs (incase any mags are reading) last saturday but because he was cutting in from the right it went agonisingly wide (15m actually).
2. Richardson cant defend well or play the left back position well, however this does not make him a bad player, remember his goal burst last season when given a bit of a forward role? Well I wouldnt overlook this at all so I am putting him on the right of a front 3 but allow him to interchange flanks with the legend that is Sessegnon. This will provide Gyan with more support and also give a much greater goal threat to the Swansea goal.
3. Granted this is not the most defensively sound formations but no disrespect to Swansea but we are not playing Chelsea or Man U so we need to be attacking and positive to acheive a result. Also I feel that the back 4 will be protected by Cattermole and because our fullbacks are not very adventurous I dont think we would be left exposed at the back with the 3 upfront.
4. Gardner to replace Colback to provide another goal threat and I read a good point on another article regarding over playing Henderson because he had a few decent games when he was first introduced into the side but instead of taking him out we left him in and maybe caused his dips in form etc. I wouldnt want this to happen to Colback and I would hope Bruce's managerial skills would portray this message across to Colback so he doesnt feel down about being dropped.
5. Larsson needs to be on the right to deliver his absolute quality balls into the box.
-----------------Mignolet-----------------
O'shea-----Ferdinand-----Brown----Bardsley
Larsson---------Cattermole---------Gardner
Richardson---------Gyan---------Sessegnon
Prediction - Swansea 0 - 2 Sunderland
First win of the season and back on track, FTM
