Very sensible - win or draw would be a bonus. A result is no crucial injuries before the run of winnable games starting with Villa on Tuesday.
I don't get this saving players for Villa. Sunderland stayed up last season by beating the likes of Chelsea and Man U. That team is going to get smashed and it's Bruce's fault.
We must be going with Aluko up front with Ramirez just behind. Of course we could just play 3-7-0 and hope to keep them out.
I can't Ramirez or Aluko getting stuck in helping to defend, they will be stolling around the center circle waiting for the ball to fall at their feet. Its like starting the game with 9 players. Hope i'm wrong though.
Don't get this team selection at all, all season SB been banging on regards our lack of goal threat and how he needs to strengthen this area, then goes into a game with his three main striker's on the bench, I know there's concern over the like's of Jelly and his knee, but if your fit enough to be on the bench your fit enough to be on the pitch.
Could be hoping to catch Man City on the break, however Huddlestone will put paid to that idea - he's guaranteed to slow any breakaway.
I'm laying Man City on Betfair at 1.24, they haven't won a game without Toure, and as you say that's such a ridiculous starting eleven that we'll probably get something out of this one. #heartrulinghead
Bruce bemoans the swapping and changing he's forced to do in the press conf but insists on keeping on with it.. it's no good saving players for Villa if it's yet again another change in formation.. Beadle's about
The trouble with doing that is we are not very good at targeting certain game's, in fact of late were very poor at it.
That horrible little ****er Nasri will get either their first or their winner, you heard it here first.
