I actually reckon that would work quite well. Maybe have Henderson in where Kuyt is as for me Henderson would do a better job in that department. However I would also have Johnson at right back and have either Insua or a new LB in at LB
I think it would be safer to start with Kuyt as most of that system worked well in the 2nd half of last season. Henderson can be introduced as a sub, I don't know how strong the Sunderland line up will be. They have a few new members and lack of game time together may cost them...or they could be really good.
