I have heard its...

Mignolet

Onuoha - Turner - Mensah - Bardsley

Elmohamady - Cattermole - Richardson - Malbranque

Gyan Welbeck


If true shocked at Sessegnon getting dropped, he is our most creative player by a mile, I dont get him play him against the top teams who will dominate games (u would imagine) then take him out of a game when you would expect him to see alot of the ball


I would go with...

Mignolet

Elmohamady - Turner - Mensah - Richardson

Sessegnon - Cattermole - Muntari - Malbranque

Gyan - Welbeck


Richardson and Malbranque everytime I have seen them as the left side partnership have looked top class, Richardson with the natural width on the overlap and Steed cutting in. Elmo on the otherside would give us that attacking option aswell from the full back spot with the skill and pace of Sessegnon just infront of him. Muntari hasn't performed but he is a quality player last chance salloon today for him if I was Bruce. Harsh on Bardsley and Onuoha but as it proved last season with Hutts and Richardson we are more creative with attacking full backs and we have certainly lacked that, when was the last time we even scored?
 
Yes what I heard was correct we line up with that side with Gordon, Ferdinand, Colback, Zenden, Muntari, Sessegnon and Henderson on the bench
 
Sunderland: Mignolet, Onuoha, Bardsley, Turner, Mensah, Cattermole (C), Richardson, Malbranque, Elmohamady, Gyan, Welbeck.

Subs: Gordon, Zenden, Muntari, Sessegnon, Henderson, Colback, Ferdinand.
...
West Brom: Carson, Reid, Olsson, Shorey, Meite, Scharner, Brunt (C), Mulumbu, Thomas, Odemwingie, Cox.

Subs: Myhill, Cech, Morrison, Vela, Fortune, Tamas, Jara.

It would appear that SB has dropped SOME the out of form players. The other one I'm thinking of is Mensah, who hasn't played well recently.
