SUNDERLAND: Mannone, Jones, Coates, Brown, PVA, Cattermole (C), M'Vila, Rodwell, Johnson, Borini, Defoe. SUBS: Pantilimon, Yedlin, Beadling, Watmore, Lens, Toivonen, Graham. Looks like a hiding to me.
We'll score with that team ....... hope that's enough for a point at least. Thank heavens Cattermole is back in front of that defence and to be a leader. Haway Lads!!!!
Why Manone?! Glad to see Defoe back in. Looks very dodgy at centre back but if we can handle them in the wide areas that would really help. Cannot have Wes and Seb being pulled out of the middle to cover PVA/Billy. Big job for Catts/YMV
Mannone was fantastic for us when he was a regular, i love pants playing for collecting the ball in the air. Both have their flaws IMO Hopefully Pickford will be in contention for our No.1 next season, regardless of what division we're in!
There's a small glimmer of light for me. Catts is back. May give us a little backbone we've been missing out on the pitch.
shush man, i was feeling ok we could scrap for a draw. Catts is a big positive for holding things together at the back. that team could score, too. i've seen worse.
Its an odd one. I still think he's alright. No world beater but it doesnt matter for me who's in goal between our 2
Rodwell looked slow before the 'injury'. Proper suck-note that lad, sadly. Better with AJ in the middle though, with a bit oace/tracking back down the flanks. We've been okay - what a difference Catts has made so far. so much more organised/pressing.
