Sunderland v Newcastle United pre-match thread - Sun 16th Jan at 12!


Recommended Posts

Personally I'm genuinely not fussed about being knocked out of the cup. The team we fielded wasn't very strong but they should be embarrassed about the performance they turned in.

 

Looking forward though, with Tiote missing for this match and Carroll 50-50, I'd take a draw against the Mackems.

If he learnt anything from today, it's not to play Smith under any circumstances. I'd put Barton alongside Nolan in the middle and use Routledge right wing.

 

and then we take away our most creative option - barton on the right.

 

fuck, this is a nightmare

Surely we'll appeal Tiote's red card?

 

The ref appeared to see it and make a decision on it, and unless he's a particularly humble fellow, I doubt he will overturn it. It will probably stand IMO.

If we sign a right winger before this one at least if we don't get justice for Tiote, we'd have the option of Barton in the centre.

 

Barton alongside who? Nolan? Wouldn't work

 

We're getting killed tbh

f***, this is a nightmare

 

I know, but I'd rather do that and aim for not conceding than having Smith pretty much playing for them.

 

It's one hell of a blow that(if) Tioté is out. Add Carroll to that and we're half the side we're with them playing.
