To be fair when you started listing players there, I came up with the team in my head of what I would want as a combined XI and got something like this: Mannone, Janmaat, Brown, Coloccini, Van Aanholt, Tiote, Cattermole, Sissoko, Johnson, Giaccherini, Cisse. So 6 of your boys, plus your manager is better. Of course, we haven't helped ourselves by forcing 2 players out on loan who I would have had as first picks in that team...
What's happened to Steven Fletcher, lads? He was banging them in when he first joined Sunderland, got a couple of bad injuries and now can't seem to score for toffee. It's almost as if he's been Pardewed!
That's not bad, Don't think Catts and Tiote need to be playing in the same team though. He's been asked to play proper football instead of a direct target man being fed by the wings so he hasn't got clue what he should be doing imo
