What a starting line up that is .... he's a brave one Poyet isn't he? Shame Vlarr's playing but I think we'll manage our first comfortable win of the season today, we'll go for it, that's for certain. 3-1 to the Lads, Haway!!!!!
People have been demanding a team without Larsson, Gardner and Altidore .... they've got it. No wingers but 2 floating wing backs who can drop back or support. AJ kept out by Ji, what a ****ing let down that lad is To be fair, Sunderland have Johnson, Altidore & Borini on the bench for a home game. Dunno what that says but it says summat! £20 million quid's worth of attackers on our bench
Weird season this is mate .... win today and we'd be 4 points behind the media's favourites, Swansea, who Man City have just beaten without breaking sweat. p.s. We can't win the World Cup with Hart in goals, he's not great.
You're right, Hart just let another softie in ... 3-2 now but City have won. We're 4 points off Swansea, if we win, and they have to come to Sunderland.
Can imagine the commentary already. Ki forward to Ji who plays it back to Ki, who plays a 1-2 again with Ji
We'd also be 3 points off Villa plus they have some difficult games coming up ..... Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton in their next 4 games, two of which are away.
