Steven Fletcher could be involved at Wembley as Gus Poyet revealed he's close to fitness. Steven Fletcher is closing in on a return to fitness in time for Sunday's Capital One Cup final at Wembley Stadium, Gus Poyet has revealed. Speaking with the media yesterday, Poyet said he was tempted to involve the striker against Arsenal, but ultimately relented; If he had been on the bench and he could have played 20 minutes, then we would have put him in. But I didn't want to have that dilemma of making him play more than he should. You can always get another injury as the main striker. He trained with us on Saturday, and he's a possibility for the team at the weekend. If Fletcher is involved on Sunday it's likely that he'll be involved from the bench having had such a long spell out the side. Fellow striker Jozy Altidore is misfiring at the moment but is widely expected to retain a starting position, with Fabio Borini and Adam Johnson cutting in from the wings. If Altidore is however left out, and it would be understandable if he was, then it's more likely that Borini would be through the middle with Emanuele Giaccherini coming into the side ahead of Fletcher. Whatever happens though it can't hurt to have Fletcher back and involved despite his own lack of scoring this season. He's certainly a good option from the bench and could find his groove again at any moment.
Interesting eh? Fletcher is the main striker or am I reading more into this than there is?? God I hope so!! (the second bold bit!)
Aguero is fit to play so i expect City to line up Pantilimon Zabaleta Kompany Lescott Kolorov Garcia Fernandinho Nasri Yaya Silva Aguero subs Hart DeMichellis Clichy Milner Dzeko Negredo navas
I'd rather have a rusty Aguero then fully fit Negredo.... Or would I? **** you with your awesome squad!!!!!
Lescott has played in every round so far so cant see that changing Demichellis has been a bit of a scapegoat and the media are looking to slaughter him but hes not been that bad to be honest
Poyet ponders Wembley team Published: 25 February, 2014 by Stuart Vose Head coach says he faces hard choices. Gus Poyet admits some tough decisions lie ahead as he ponders his final team selection for Sunday’s Capital One Cup final. The Uruguayan says he has all but two players fit and available, with only the injured Keiren Westwood and cup-tied midfielder Liam Bridcutt set to miss the game. I am only allowed to take a certain number of players, so it’s going to be hard for a few - Gus Poyet Of those players, six will miss the cut for the final match squad and Sunderland’s head coach admits there’s bound to be some tough news for some with competition for places high. “Apart from Westy, which is a long-term injury, every single player is fit - even the ones who are not available, like Liam who is cup-tied," said Poyet, who welcomes back defender Wes Brown following a two-match ban. He added: “This week, everybody’s there. If nothing happens, there’s going to be a big decision for me and, I hope, big understanding from the players. “It’s hard for people who have been involved and playing, not only in the league but especially in the cup. “They have helped us get there but everybody is fit and I am only allowed to take a certain number of players, so it’s going to be hard for a few.”
How big is a premiership match squad? I know squad size is 25 plus unlimited young uns but surely there's a match day limit? I want to pick my squad
