Seems like it, and barring any mishaps will be ok for the weekend. But will he be picked? JOHN OâSHEA will return from injury tonight to ensure the Republic of Irelandâs Euro 2012 qualification. The Sunderland defender has been on the sidelines for two and a half weeks after suffering a recurrence of his hamstring problem in last monthâs Stadium of Light clash with Aston Villa. OâShea missed Sunderlandâs trip to former club Manchester United together with Irelandâs comprehensive 4-0 victory over Estonia in the first leg of their European Championship play-off. But the 30-year-old is fit ahead of schedule and replaces injured full-back Stephen Kelly in tonightâs second leg in Dublin. Black Cats boss Steve Bruce will be delighted at the brief length of OâSheaâs lay-off after fearing the defender would be ruled out of Saturdayâs visit of Fulham. If OâShea can prove his fitness tonight, it will leave Bruce with a dilemma over whether to hand the Irishman an instant recall against the Cottagers or stick with Phil Bardsley, who returned to the side at Old Trafford.
o'shea back in right back position,bardo to left back and ricco left wing. team v fulham-westwood, o'shea,turner,brown,bardo, elmo vaughan catts ricco sess bendtner
How about: westwood bardsley oshea brown richardson larsson/elmo vaughan cattermole/gardner sessegnon bendtner ji get turner out the team, experienced centre halves. and im not sure if larsson is available or not?
I apologise for having an opinion on my teams fierce local rivals, how thoughtless of me. looked like a pretty good suggestion to me, obviously you're too ******ed to see that
The above is what I would go with too, its our strongest team with the players that are available. Only question is Vaughan fit?
I dont think Cest is ******ed just hoping for once to have a debate about Sunderland with Sunderland fans, seems very fair to me. And Cest yes, I would go with your team.
Colback played well at Old Trafford and may keep his place, not sure on Vaughan's fitness and how close is Meyler to a start? Westwood O'Shea, Turner, Brown, Bardo Sess, Catts, Colback, Ricco Ji, Bendtner with Meyler and Elmo featuring, and maybe Noble on the bench as back up!
Why the **** dont he try that young irish winger i heard about he has been on the bench a few times, we are crying out for a left winger
