Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Saudi FC - Sunday 14th December 2025 - KO 14:00

Gordon tore him apart in the last game. Hume would be on the bench for me with Mukiele at RB.

 

Maybe start Hume as a wing back , I would like to see us keeping it tight early on with two runners up front ahead of Le Fee . Then unleashing the Brobbey for Hume later. Nothing like a late winner at any time of day, and if its us, it could be a Wembley re-run . Am I dreaming?.

 

Need 3 in midfield against their 3 imo. They'll only play 1 up top too so no need for 3 centre backs.

Midfield battle will be key. Win that and get our pace against their backline, and we could win.

 

Bang on, has to be 433

 

Absolutely. If we go 5 at the back we might as well give them the 3 points now.

 

Absolutely, we need to go 433. For me that means Hume missies out as I’d have Mukiele at right back.
I know he hasn’t played much but I’d like Adingra at left wing. Just feel he could add a lot and I prefer Talbots off the bench.

I agree about Mukiele he needs to start.

Not so sure on Adingra, but it's a chance for someone to make a name for themselves and why not him. I fancy Mundle to play a big part either starting or off the bench. Gives us a goal threat from wide.

 

Yep. Their midfield would be laughing.
