JB Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 4-4-2 At least Shola should mean the long ball shite will be more effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Insane to go back to 4-4-2 after the Man United game, just utterly bizarre. I appreciate the Shola factor but you can't pick a team in the Premier League based on that. He'll keep doing it. I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 At least with Shola on the pitch we'll have a proper penalty taker. Very good chance we'll need one IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagten Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Insane to go back to 4-4-2 after the Man United game, just utterly bizarre. I appreciate the Shola factor but you can't pick a team in the Premier League based on that. Think of the oppo, they play a rigid 4-4-2, Pardew is backing our central two to beat theirs. And so they should. Not happy using but i can see why. 4-4-1-1, no? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Do they play 4-4-2 though? They only have 1 centre forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Really hope buying into the Shola mystique doesn't bite us on the arse. We all know how bad he can be starting games. I wouldn't worry too much about effort from him, he'll be up for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hopefully Ronaldo's crack about Ba playing better with a hold up striker rings true today. yeah, because he's been truly awful this season and badly needs to buck-up his ideas. nice straw man, I'm looking for positives in Shola starting, let's not turn on each other because we're a little bit nervous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 It's not the effort I'm worried about Mick. It's the ability and mobility. 2 things that for whatever reason don't meet the standard when he plays games from the beginning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Five o Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Sunderland: Mignolet, Gardner, Rose, O'Shea ©, Cuellar, Colback, Larsson, Johnson, McClean, Sessegnon, Fletcher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their wingers stay very wide, Ours dont so numbers in the middle shouldn't really go against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Stop this formation nonsense. We are starting Krul, Coloccini, Santon, Cabaye, Tiote, HATEM BEN ARFA, Demba Ba, and Foluwashola Ameobi (professional Nigerian-Geordie Mackem Murdered/Sunderland Slayer). Do not be worried, we are better regardless of formation, and should be confident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
