Ryan_Taylor Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Sunderland always s*** themselves plus Ba will be given a lot more opportunities. Who are Cabaye and Tiote against? 'Catts' and ? I agree Raylor needs replacing but our defence kept a lot better attacking players out this weekend and it seems Sunderlands best forward is out. Colback or Gardener Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Will be Cattermole and Gardner in the middle, presumably? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Far more nervous for this game than I was for both the derbies last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Colback started for them at the weekend. Mackem mate says he was good in the latter part of last season, but I sense that was more because Sunderland's central midfield is gash and he was made to look good.

I agree Raylor needs replacing but our defence kept a lot better attacking players out this weekend and it seems Sunderlands best forward is out. Aye, hope you're right. Never know, the big Dong might thrive on the big stage. As long as the midfield isn't overwhelmed and Cabaye gets some space on the ball we should be creating chances, but whether we have the players to put chances away, who knows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Their midfield is crap man, completely shocking. As long as we have a left back in place, as weird as this might sound, we'll control the middle of the park. Our superior ability in that department will be on show this weekend, no doubt in my mind about that. I'd say we have a more balanced midfield than Liverpool FWIW, much better mix of guile and craft imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying much since Liverpool didn't seem to be able to work out that getting the ball out wide to Downing to hit Carroll was a good idea...

Anderson Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Really, really hope Barton or Saylor score. Both of them scoring would just be perfect; Barton to do a Liam O'Brien over the wall and Tayls to do a Dabizas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
