I think we can give anyone a game at the moment, but would love to see Aluko and Brady get back and up to speed. I'd also like to see Gedo get match fit, feel he could play off Sagbo. Sunderland have had one win, still got thrashed in their last away game, but they will be seeing this as the kick start to their season. Not had a good record in the prem against them, this could be an anxious game to watch, but it's what being in the prem is all about. We had 4 Sunderland rejects last night against Spurs and they all gave their all (maybe with exception of Graham) Bruce gets the best from them and he'd love to beat Sunderland. Be good to have Livermore back. What system should we employ if everyone is fit?
I guess the only people certain of playing are Harper, Davies, Figueroa, Huddlestone, Livermore and Sagbo. The rest depends on fitness, formation and selection. Assuming Rosey keeps his place at RB (and we go back to 4 at the back), the only issue at the back is a choice between Faye and Macca. In midfield it's a question of balance. Elmo on the right, or Koren tucking in? Brady on the left if fit, or Quinn tucking in, or Boyd floating? I'm guessing Aluko will be fit to sit behind Sagbo, but if he's not I think Boyd deserves to be there.
I agree about Boyd. Our MOTM for me last night. He worked his socks off. I think he deserves his chance, if he isn't too leg weary.
I concur. I thought Gedo looked great yesterday and he looks like he really wants to play for us. Shame we couldn't sort out a proper deal for him, but I think with his return to fitness it'll signal the end of Danny Graham, Gedo just looked miles better.
He hasn't been better. The smart thing to do would've been to drop him after 5 games and let him play some reserve football, find his shooting boots and regain a shred of confidence. Both Sagbo and Gedo have shown that they are better suited to the system we play (I know Gedo's only played one game, but even then he looked a lot more useful than DG has, and Gedo was playing against a team that cost 75 million quid more than ours did) so I'd go with them against Sunderland.
Even though gedo skied that chance when he should have scored, his pace and movement got him in that chance and thats something graham can't do, gedo will become good with more match time
Mcshane and Elmo doing well, Meyler works his socks off but lacks finesse and Graham's confidence is shot
Oh yes. Has had both flanks in his pocket over the 2 Spurs games. Looking very much a PL class act. Played right and left full back roles in the 2 games.
Hope the really drunk woman is in the away end again.Mind you a trip down to Hull must seem like a holiday
We normally bring food parcels to give out to the locals when we play in deprived areas like Humberside ..we are known for our generosity you know.............. ..
