Official Match Thread: Sunderland v Liverpool

  1. Not conceded many, fair enough. However, its not from defending well is it as we're clearly giving the opposition chances.

    What kind of lineup does every one want to see here? I'm not sure on the back 4.

    ----------Mignolet----------
    Wisdom-Toure-Agger-Enrique
    --------Lucas-Gerrard-------
    Henderson--Suarez---Moses-
    ----------Sturridge----------

    ----------Mignolet----------
    Kelly-Toure-Agger-Enrique
    --------Lucas-Gerrard-------
    Henderson--Suarez---Moses-
    ----------Sturridge----------

    Would prefer the above with Hendo moving into midfield and Ibe coming on as Lucas goes off, having got a yellow card and tiring in the second half

    Rodgers needs to stop mucking about with the back 4. It seems he doesn't rate Enricky but he's the only fit left back so play him.

    Mignolet
    Kelly
    Toure
    Agger
    Enrique
    Henderson
    Gerrard
    Lucas
    Aspas
    Suarez
    Sturridge

    Think Aspas deserves another start, looked good against Stoke but then been limited to a few sub appearances. Needs a good run of games to see what he can do.

    Oh dear, City and Utd have lost. Spurs and Chelsea have drawn.If Arsenal drop points at Swansea we will be in the position of possibly gaining on all our rivals at the top by the time we play. The past few seasons when we have been in this position we have blown it and lost ourselves. Lets hope we can break this pattern with a win tomorrow.

    Mignolet
    Wisdom,Toure,Sakho,Enrique
    Sterling,Gerrard,Henderson,Moses
    Suarez,Sturridge.

    Thats what I'd like to see. I expect it will be henderson on the right and Lucas and Gerrard instead or 3 at the back again with henderson and enrique wide. Really could do with 3 points tomorrow but I've got a bad feeling about this one

    Sterling? Really? He's been so disappointing for the last 12 months. Feel Ibe, Aspas and Alberto would offer more

  14. As long as we **** the three at the back off and play people in the right positions, I don't really care. However...

    Migs
    Kelly - Toure - Sakho - Enrique
    Gerrard - Lucas
    Hendo - Suarez - Moses
    Studge

    (I assume Agger is injured. Hendo and Suarez could swap)

    Think we will go with the same formation as mid week, but would like to see a slight change.
    something like this.


    --------------------Ming
    ------Skrtel-------Toure------Sakho----
    -------------------Lucas------------------
    ----Gerrard----Alberto----Henderson---
    -------------------Moses-----------------
    --------------Suarez--Studge

  17. Sunderland fan James Hunt gives us the lowdown on Sunday's opposition and reveals why the Reds secured 'one hell of a bargain' when they signed Simon Mignolet from the Black Cats.

    Talk us through your rather eventful start to the season...

    It's painful, so I'll make it quick: we sold our best players, bought more than an entire team's worth of new players, had a manager who was a bit crazy, took just one point from our first five games, sacked said manager for being a bit too crazy.

    Was it the right decision to dismiss Paolo Di Canio?

    No. Yes. Maybe? I think, given how much was changed when we brought him in, with the club seemingly committing to the plan cooked up by director of football Roberto De Fanti, that to sack him after just five games, when we brought in so many new players who've never played Premier League football, was a bit hasty. However, if talk of a player revolt is true, then I guess that may have forced Ellis Short's hand.

    Who would you like to see replace the Italian?

    I'd like to see us go for someone like Rene Meulensteen; given the director of football/head coach structure we have, and how highly-rated he was at Manchester United, he could be an interesting choice. Or, if I'm dreaming, perhaps Marcelo Bielsa. However, I'd be surprised if it wasn't Gus Poyet at this stage.

    How can we expect Sunderland to line up and what will be the approach?

    With Steven Fletcher out, chances are we'll have Jozy Altidore as the lone frontman. Emanuele Giaccherini impressed playing as the No10 in the Capital One Cup, so I'd expect he'll continue there in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Lee Cattermole now back in the centre of midfield. I think, given our form and the recent change at the club, caretaker boss Kevin Ball will want the players to put in a performance - not least because he wants the job! - so we should come out attacking.

    How has Fabio Borini performed during his opening weeks with the club?

    He hasn't really featured too much so far, so it's difficult to pass judgement. In the fleeting glimpses we've had, he looked reasonably promising, and I'm sure we'll get to see more of him over the course of the season. I think there's obviously a pretty good player there, it's just about fitting him into the side and keeping him fit.

    What was the reaction to the club selling Simon Mignolet in the summer? What can Liverpool supporters expect from him?

    There was perhaps an air of inevitability about it, but that was covered by clouds of disappointment. He's an exceptional goalkeeper, the best in the league last year (and the main reason we stayed up) and is only going to get better. At £9m, and his relatively young age, you've got one hell of a bargain.

    What is the best way to hurt the Black Cats?

    Force us to the ground and remind us about the 15-point season, Bruce, the days towards the end of Martin O'Neill...oh, you meant on the pitch?! We've looked very weak all season in the middle of the park and, though Cattermole's return should help, the quality you have there could mean we're overrun. Likewise, the movement of Sturridge and Suarez has caused problems for defences far better than ours, so that'll be a worry.

    Who do you fear most in the Liverpool team?

    Daniel Sturridge has started the season brilliantly, and I'd also give special praise to one of our own, Jordan Henderson, who has come on leaps and bounds under Brendan Rodgers.

    Any tips for travelling fans heading to the Stadium of Light on Sunday?

    Come prepared for Greggs and Wetherspoons! You shouldn't be short of a pub to base yourself in before the game, and despite appearances we are a pretty friendly bunch.

  20. They go the eleven right but they didn't the line-up right. Those players could still play the god awful wingbacks system <doh>
