ACS's View
I'm going for a blood and thunder 3-3.

Betting
Cisse FGS and 1-0 is 22/1
Shola and 1-0 is 33/1
Shola and 3-1 is 66/1
Shola and 5-1 is 225/1
Cabaye and 3-3 is 225/1
Cabaye and 2-2 us 66/1

 

I thought I'd make an early thread for this one given the importance on many levels.
With PDC now in place they will be up for this big time, although doubts from their own fanbase about their squad quality persist.
I can see a blood and thunder 3-3 for this one, I really can.
Let's hope our injuries clear and and we put out a strong enough team to do the job.

What do you think?

What formation do you think Pards will play?

To the Mackems... are you confident?.... are you going?

 

My team... I'd set it up like this (assuming injuries pan out how I think)...

Eliot (or Krul if fit)

Debuchy
Colo
Saylor
Santon

Cabaye
Tiote
Sissoko
Marv

Gouff
Cisse

I'd play Sissoko in an advanced role and get Gouff playing deeper too to help with link up play.
Of course... this far out it depends on injuries.

I'd have Shola and Raylor as my first choice subs as well, bringing them on at around the 65 minute mark if things are not going our way.

 

Mbiwa over Colo for me. Sorry.

 

No Colo for me. Saylor has been fantastic and Mbiwa has looked really promising.

----------Cisse-----------

Gouff----Sissoko-----Jonas

----Cabaye---Tiote------

Santon--Mbiwa--Saylor--Debuchy

-----------Krul-------------

 

I'd play this:

--------Cisse-Shola------

---Gouff--Sissoko--Cabaye -

-----------Tiote------

Santon--Mbiwa--Saylor--Debuchy

-----------Krul-------------

We have to start the Mackem Slayer surely?

 

You guys must be getting nervous now with the new Sunderland manager shaking things up.

we have Shola so anything is possible.

 

-------------Krul---------------
-Debuchy--Colo-Saylor--Santon-
-------------Tiote--------------
-------Cabaye------------------
---------------Sissoko----------
-Gouf---------------------Jonas-
-------------Cisse--------------

That would be my preferred starting XI.

 

Guys you lot are really obsessed with us the game is weeks away come on get agrip

 

But you boys broke the record a couple of weeks ago with your 8 (Eight) Toon related threads.

Loving the irony

 

He's a legend - he won't get it though.

 

I'm going for 2-0.

 

Confident?

 

Where were you sitting at the Etihad Tash?
