4-4-2 for an away game? wow! but I think we might lose this in midfield and the 'Cats' are likely to be playing a lone striker.
10 years ago today, we beat the scum 2-0. Leon scored a double. Could do with something similar today if Hooper could oblige.
Shame Howson is out. Good team though, shame Jonny is injured. Great to see Ricky on the bench. Anyone fancy him for a late winner?
Altidore starts as a lone striker but is joined by the other two when they go in to attack mode, so we may well see a lot of 4-3-3 if we don't get stuck in to them.
I think Snoddy was actually injured with Scotland just showed up in training. Other than than him and Jonny I can't think if anyone who was injured in training recently.
So far so good, we look the better team by a long way. Calm and composed, decent forward play. Sunderland restricted to long range efforts. Just need to make this good start pay with a goal before Sunderland get back into it. COYY
