I spoke too soon. 3-2 now. Comedy defenders on both sides. Sakho probably the worst defender in the PL.
Sam Allardyce has made two changes to his starting XI ahead of today’s game with AFC Bournemouth. Vito Mannone returns between the sticks as Jordan Pickford takes to the bench, while Fabio Borini is handed a start, following Danny Graham’s departure to Blackburn Rovers. Skipper John O’Shea and Jermain Defoe both start against the Cherries, a club both Black Cats have played for. AFC Bournemouth’s starting XI remains unchanged from their home win over Norwich City last week. Sunderland: Mannone, Jones, van Aanholt, O’Shea ©, Brown, Johnson, Lens, Cattermole, M’Vila, Borini, Defoe. Subs: Rodwell, N’Doye, Coates, Yedlin, Fletcher, Watmore, Pickford.
On paper we've got a decent attacking line up there with a bit of luck a front three of Lens, Defoe and Borini could cause them all sorts of problems. I'm trying my best to not think about our defence lol
Liverpool win in the last minute 5-4 Hopefully that hurts Norwich. I was 1 name off on my predicted team, went for Pickford over Mannone.
Aalreet , lads. Ah knaa you're not gunna leik this, but Ah did predict a win fre the Sooth Coast side, the dayuh. Me condolences fre the hammering you're gunna tyek, leik .
Disgraceful first 20 mins. Look at how deep our defence is when we have possession, we can't string 2 passes together and as soon as we loose it Bournemouth are on the edge of our box.
