Good question, and a tough one.

We've gone missing in centre midfield 3 derbies straight, and Tiote is a powerful player.

Catts has gone up several levels since MON arrived though, so we'll see.

I'm on the fence on this one, but I fancy Sess, McLean and Gardner to have a big, big impact.
 
Really not sure to be honest, despite the massive scoreline last year I thought that battle was key to the result. On current form i'd say Carttermole but with the home fans behind him it could be cheik Norris.
 
If we want to win this match, we have to silence Sessegnon. Do that and we will win. Otherwise Sess vs Willo does not fill me with confidence!

If you look at our last half a dozen matches we can score from anywhere now! McClean, Gardner, Campbell, Ji, Ricco, Larson and not to mention Vaughan are all a goal threat!
I think if we can keep Ba quiet we will win. Our defence record is one of the best in the league so im confident of that happening. We havent conceded more than 2 goals in a game all season!
 
Tiote will give Sessegnon a big hard one from behind to quieten him down early one. The rest will be a piece of cake. Not that I'm shouting from the rooftops like. Like the sunland supporters were last year about how Cattermole and Henderson would run the show, how Bent would terrorise our defenders, and we'd never beat Bramble at the back.......... Can't remember what happened next.

BTW QWOP, I think you should put your Cinnamon Challenge on here to show the unfortunate ones who didn't see it. :wink:
 
The thing I've noticed about Sunderland since MON came is that he gets everyone behind the ball defending and they hit teams on the counter. Very dangerous for us as we play with a high back line. But when tiote is sitting infront of our back four, we are a different team, esspeically at home. Be interesting. They crumbled last season under the atmosphere. If they score first, they will shut up shop and we will have a problem.

Coloccini will handle Sessegnon most likely. Willo will probably have to deal with what ever striker Artie Ziff sends out. Be it Bentdner, Campbell or Ji.
 
I would say our centre mid narrowly beats Sunderlands, but their wings are definitely worrying. Our front 2 are probably better but I can't really decide on defence.

Back when Brucie was in charge I'd have said a probable 3 points, but I'd take a draw now. Both teams first 11s are pretty decent and not much separating them. For me it depends if we can beat Wolves and build some momentum to go into the game with, either way the stadium should be rocking!
