SAFC returned to the prem league, a 1-0 win against Spurs, fans favourite Chopra scoring the winner in the 90th minute. Since then managers and players have come and gone, so in this 7 season stint (it maybe more yet), could we make a decent team that could compete today? Try and pick your manager and team, there must be some good one's. Possible g/k contenders....Gordon, Mig, Westwood, Mannone. Possible forwards,.......Bent, Gyan, Wellbeck, Jones, Bendtner, Fletcher, Borini, Altidore( Possible midfield........Steed, Bolo, Sess, Richardson, Reid, Catts. Possible defenders,....Brown, Bardo,Mensah,,Evans, Ferdinand. To many to choose from. G/K, i'll opt for Mig.
Gordon Bardo. Mensah. Brown. Alonso Steed. Bolo. Henderson. Sess Bent. Welbeck. I'm not bothering with subs this was difficult enough to pick
I'm bored at work so I'll have a crack at this... For you guys i'd go: Mignolet Bardsley Evans Brown Rose Cattermole Sessegnon Zenden Henderson Johnson Bent A tidy first 11 that. Cheated a bit by adding Rose as he was only on loan and didn't want to include Brown as his time at you has been a bit of a disaster due to injuries but didn't fancy any of the other CB options.
Based on their good form..... G/k................................Mannone then Mig. Defenders................Bardo, Brown, Mensah, Alonso Possible midfield........Hendo, AJ, Sess, Catts. Possible forwards,.....Bent+Fletcher or Jones+Borini something like that
Probably MON I wish it had worked out for him 1964 - An impressive home display in which Sunderland saw off Derby County with a 3-0 win. Goals came from Sharkey, Usher and Waller (own goal). David Elliott made the first of 35 appearances for the Lads. 22nd February My first home match
Aye Bent/Fletcher, both on form, that could be prolific. My effort. ....................................Mig......................... ..Bardo..............Evans..............Brown...........Rose ..Henderson......Zenden..........Catts...............Johnson ..........................Sess........ ...................................Bent. subs, Gordon, Steed, Fletcher, Alonso, Cana, Mensah. Manager.?????????
My effort Mannone Bardo. Evans. Brown. Rose Steed. Bolo. Henderson. Sess Bent. Welbeck. I think they might suit Poyets style.
-------------Mingolet---------- Bardsley--Mensah--Evans--Rose ----------Hendo---Catts------- Steed--------Sess-------Welbeck -------------Bent--------------- Manager: Gus Poyet
I quite like this Mannone Bardo-----Evens-----Brown-----Rose Hendo---------Catts Ki Steed----------Sess Gyan Subs Mig, Mensah, Colback, Richardson, Johnson, Welbeck, Bent. Much better than this Fülöp Halford------McShane---Nozzer------McCartney Larsson----------Whitehead---------Miller----------McClean Prica----Benjani Subs:Ward, Ferdinand, Anderson, Harte, Vaughan, Chopra, Graham.
My Team would be: Gordon (before he got injured he started to look the bizz) Onuoha (that Chelsea goal!!)...... Mensah ........... Brown ......... Rose.............. Johnson ......... Cana ........... Zenden ........... Steed........ Sess...... Bent...... Subs Giacc Ki Borini Turner Bardo Gyan Mig I know there's a few "loan" players but they go down in the stats as ours at the time.
Forgot about Rose, i'd switch him to left back and put Alonso on the bench Midfield 3 of Hendo, Zenden, Catts/Cana AJ and Sess in front of them Bent or Fletch up top Managed by........Gus, I'd say.
