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.

 

[Vincemac]

Gordon
Bardo. Mensah. Brown. Alonso

Steed. Bolo. Henderson. Sess

Bent. Welbeck.

I'm not bothering with subs this was difficult enough to pick

Not a bad effort actually mate, what about manager?

 

[Graham Carr's Binoculars]

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.

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.

[grandpops]

My effort

Mannone

Bardo. Evans. Brown. Rose

Steed. Bolo. Henderson. Sess

Bent. Welbeck.

I think they might suit Poyets style.

 

[Jack TheLad]

-------------Mingolet----------
Bardsley--Mensah--Evans--Rose

----------Hendo---Catts-------

Steed--------Sess-------Welbeck

-------------Bent---------------

Manager: Gus Poyet

 

[Brian Storm]

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.

 

[Giacc The Ripper]

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.

Manager.?????????

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.

 

[Nordic]

...actually, how did i forget about Ki....who replaces Zenden.
