Match Day Thread Thread day match

Rudd; Martin, Bennett, Bassong, Brady; Odjidja, O'Neil, Tettey, Howson; Hoolahan; Mbokani

SUBS: Ruddy (GK), Wisdom, Jerome, Jarvis, Dorrans, Redmond, Olsson.

 

I like the look of that line up. Pleased to see Redmond on the bench and hopefully we may see Jarvis enter the fray instead of Redmond later.

 

Looks a bit narrow? No natural wide players with both Jarvis and Redmond on the bench.

 

Very narrow looking

 

It has an incredibly narrow feel to it with neither Redders or Jarvis selected.
We'll' see soon enough, but I'm not a fan of Howson forced out wide right and looking a bit 'unnatural' there.

 

Very narrow but looks like some sort of 4-3-3. Clearly trying to negate Stoke's midfielders, especially with the news that Shaqiri isn't available

 

This is how the official club site see it - but what do they know?

The commentator just referred to Stoke as "Stokealona"... REALLY??? :-/

Haha hope not tonight!

We're wearing infamous 3rd kit

See we are in the fruit pastille kit?! :,)

 

You wouldn't play a 4-3-3 if you wanted to control midfield. It would be a 4-5-1. Which I think is what we are going to play.

 

Not unhappy about that. Agree it's narrow, but looks sensible and solid for such a hard trip, plus injections of pace against fatigue are open to us from the bench.

 

Sunderland winning already!

Gk error.

 

Motherfu.............!!

 

Russ Martin let off by a good save from Dec

 

They do it every year, don't they.

 

Wish we would get given a goal once in a while.

 

Playing well... better team so far

 

Brilliant link up play between Wes and Vadis just now.
Shame no final ball, but good signs.
