captainhaircut Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 It'll surely be Gardner and Cattermole in the middle. Maybe Sessegnon on the right and Richardson on the left? Mignolet in goal and Gyan up top with Wickham? They'll set up as: Mignolet Bardsley Brown Bramble O'Shea Sessegnon Gardner Cattermole Richardson Gyan Wickham That about right, I'm guessing a bit. Hardly a frightening XI is it? Bench would be Westwood, Turner, Ferdinand, El Mohammedy, Korean lad, Malbranque & Larsson I must have missed someone. It's a stronger squad but a weaker first 11. Losing Bent and Wellbeck means they lose most of their goals from last season. Onouha has not been replaced probably as Brown is a cripple as well.

ponsaelius Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Sessegnon is being crowbarred in that position. Like HBA with us, he'd be better off behind a lone forward ie Gyan. Stick the Swedish Raylor on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 What the hell has happened to Frazier Campbell?Surely an ambitious, successful, and well-regarded club like Sunderland will not start an unproven teenage striker every week? Completely knacked isn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Their forum is full "What if X,Y,Z joins us tommorrow... currently thinking, Zog, Defoe and O'shea has been seen in the area then you have this: "If Messi, Phil Babb and Freddy Adu sign in the next few days" ...

Neil Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Surely you'd play Bardsley? He was pretty much your most consistent player last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 The thought of Cattermole - Gardner being your club's starting central midfield is a pretty sickening though like If they did sign one of Zog or Defoe I'd happily admit they are both very good signings...but their current haul would honestly have me depressed if it was us.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 If I was Sunderland, I would definitely play 4-3-3. Their personnel is suited for it. Cattermole Larsson Gardner Sessegnon and another behind Gyan. Still a lot of goals in that team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wearside Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Surely you'd play Bardsley? He was pretty much your most consistent player last season. Bardsley needs to play on the right or not at all.He done well but is limited in what he can do due to him having to keep checking back onto his right foot,a new left back should have been a priority.

Neil Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 O'Shea's a decent signing IMO, he'll do alright for them but it's interesting to see how he fares with vastly inferior players around him than what he's used to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Yeah I definitely got a lot of guff from Man U fans about Smith being a good signing and wishing he hadn't gone. Would prefer Bardsley at right back, he looks a very decent right back imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 They just have a team completely devoid of any creativity. I'd only count Sessegnon as a 'flair player' but he's unproven having only had a few good games towards the end of the season. Gyan's alright as well but he's not exactly prolific is he? Reminds me a lot of Martins and has had an almost identical first season in the league. They'll be solid and will be hard to break down, but they're going to be one of the least exciting teams to watch next season. Can see them being the league's draw kings next year.
