Sunderland XI: Mannone, Bardsley, Dossena, Brown, O'Shea (c), Vergini, Cattermole, Bridcutt, Giaccherini, Altidore, Wickham Substitutes 30 Ignacio Scocco 4Sung-Yueng Ki 7Sebastian Larsson 14Jack Colback 11Adam Johnson 32Ãscar Ustari 29Valentin Roberge Credit to him for dropping Ki, deserved, that's a ballsy decision. To also drop Jack & AJ is interesting, I fear any possible impact for Conner is weakened without AJ though. The quality of that side, BTW, is appalling, no dressing it up. We have been shocking in the transfer market, the only hits have long since been sold.
shocked at dossena's inclusion, can see his thinking like, 5-3-2 but cant see it holding out for long, wonder if he's gonna play giacc just behind the front 2 or altidore off connor?
It looks, despite 5 at back, wide open to me mate, I'm sorry but Bridcutt isn't ready for this kind of game, Cattshas a massive job on. Giacc you'd think was the offensive midfielder, meaning we have zero width, and are planning to play centrally, so I'd imagine Giachh Connor - Altidore. Effectively a 7-0-1-2 formation, which is ****ing original I must say.
Couldn't agree more. I've got no problem with Gus picking and dropping whoever he likes but, as you say, the overall quality is piss poor. Good to see Bridcutt and Catts both in there. Altidore, not so much. It looks like a 3-5-2 but I reckon it'll be more a 5-3-2. You have to admire playing 2 strikers at Anfield even if neither of them are very good.
considering they are supposedly weakest down the flanks, it begs a question - are we about to try and park the bus?

Of course we are mate, which given the long range shooting ability in the Liverpool side, is ridiculous. Our best shot was to try and pressure them and shock them, they will have been preparing all week for us defending. You cannot park the bus with John O'**** in the side, I confidently predict he will have a direct link to a goal. I'm not lying here, Big is on and I'm ALMOST tempted to watch that, and bury my swede in the dunes.
got grandpops round, made him a steak dinner, got him a fridge full of plonk and he reckons he's booking a taxi for 20:15 - he's been telt, he will suffer this with me!
Watching Cheers at the minute, put me in a good mood before I get my brain raped.... ****ing love Cheers man.
superb show, taxi is another of that era i love anarl, could watch both all day everyday quite easily
Norms one liners man, crease. 'I'll have whatever comes out of this pump' 'it's beer Norm' 'Must be my lucky day'. Genius.
