Abandon our 352 bollocks, any manager worth his salt knows that all they have to do is cut the supply to our wing backs and were screwed. Playing 442 as above allows overlaps to develop and at least it gives the opposition full backs something to think about.

That's not far off our Championship team mate but I would expect Harper to retire, Chester, Robertson gone and MAYBE N'Doye. To be replaced by McGreggor, Bruce, McShane and a (probably) 'on-loan' Striker.

We'd all like this but I wouldn't put money on seeing it.

This is what I would go for, harsh on McShane, so do expect he will stay with 3 at the back to accommodate him.
 
What about keeping the 3-5-2 but pushing Brady into the middle?

Quinn in for Huddlestone, looked a far better player recently

I think that teams far too attacking and doesn't offer the protection needed against a Man Utd side full of attacking quality.

We need to sit back, dig deep, keep it tight and soak up the pressure, and hope someone with a bit of pace can latch on to one of our hoofs or clearances. Attacking a weak Man Utd defence would be footballing suicide. We should invite them onto us and let them play to their strengths without trying to exploit their weakness as we did at their place. It worked magnificently and with just a little bit more luck we would have got worselves three points.

If you play with 5 at the back and two defensive minded midfielders then you deserve to go down.

How can you think like that when you need to win? You need to be on the front foot and go with the "we'll score more than you" approach.

Agreed. We might as well get beat 0-5 than 0-1 but a 3-2 might do it.

If we win, our goal difference wont matter as either Sunderland stay up on points accrued or they lose 2 and their GD is automatically worse than ours.
 
Yeah I just glanced at the team rather than reading the full post.
 
Plan B
"Law 3 in the FIFA Law Book states there cannot be less than 7 players of a team, on the field during play."

So if we go 2-0 down early on we need a mass brawl with 3 of ours sent off and 5 injured (to cover substitutions)

Apparently the FA then judge whether to have a replay or let the result stand. So if there's enough time left on the clock we could get another bite at the cherry.

Can we have big tits back please? I like wiggo but not that much!:emoticon-0110-tongu
 
jELAVIC showed that he is not match fit so ALUKO in for me as the only change from Spurs. imo.

We need pace and to get at them from the off.

Get at them from the off by playing with 5 defenders, no width and only two attacking players on the pitch?

Have you ever thought about going for a brain scan?
