Today's team

Some youngsters to start..




Two of the younger members of the squad who have travelled to Korea will start the game against FC Groningen at the Suwon Stadium.

Goalkeeper Ben Wilson steps in for Simon Mignolet, whilst striker Craig Lynch joins Connor Wickham and Fraizer Campbell in attack.

I'm struggling to get excited commo

 

Yep still gonna watch it, just looking for a decent link, where's Steve when you need him, that last one was a cracking stream.

Sunderland apparently playing in a 3-4-3 setup, interesting

 

Cuéllar subsituted, looked like a thigh injury
Bramble on

 

19' Connor Wickham
0-1 Sunderland

 

Wes Brown Substituted, injured
John Egan on

 

'37 Suk
1-1

 

43' Schet
2-1 FC Groningen in front

 

To put it mildly...

Utter ****e, Mr O'Neil must be thinking what the hell is going on....

 

Fc Groningen sort of dominated the first half, both in possession and in chances on target. This could've been easily 3-1 or 4-1 if it wasn't for Wilson. Back to a 4-4-2 formation?

 

Sparv, Van Moorsel and Teixera on for Groningen
Kwakman, Van Dijk and De Leeuw off

 

Sunderland returning to 4-4-2 formation and they look more comfortable in this setup. Groningen struggling at the moment.

 

Subsitutes Sunderland:
Laing on for Craig Lynch
Wilson off, Pickford on

Subsitutes Groningen:

Suk off, Hiariej on

Sunderland starting to build up pressure around the box of Groningen now.

 

2-1 down 15 mins to go

 

87'
2-2, Campbell

 

91'
2-3, Noble

You guys got away with this one, Groningen was in full control till the 85th minute
