Scoot Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Wouldn't miss this for anything.Fully expecting a performance reflecting the new managers organisation and work ethic and hopefully some dynamic attacking play, win by 2 clear goals. God i hope you're right. Looking forward to this now like. Huge day of football (and drinking). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 The programmes are decent, wish they would get someone good to do the website. Me, ideally. It's being totally overhauled for next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 This is it. Elliott Janmatt Taylor Mbemba Colback Sissoko Shelvey Gini Townsend Perez Mitrovic That's the 11 I'd go with. Shelvey and Gini in the middle and Perez off Mitro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 We need to keep the pressure on them throughout the game, I'm hopeful that Benitez's plan of being very organised will be the perfect tonic to Sunderlands tactics. If we went gung ho it would play into their hands perfectly imo. Every time the ball breaks down in their half we need to win it back quickly, strangle them in midfield and don't allow them to break on us. The pressure just needs to build and build and chances will arrive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 fully expect us to be better in possession, them to break and score goals through Defoe and borini, Us to be on the wrong side of some very suspect officiating and them to win again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Love the way they've accurately portrayed how all the little footballers are running around in different directions without an ounce of a gameplan. Quite masterful, actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I like Matic a lot as well, although he's not on form at the moment. Doesn't take risks but he does carry the ball forward when the space is there. My fave position actually Same. Love a good defensive midfielder who's got more in his locker than just being a brute. Matic and especially Busquets got that role nailed at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 A lot of that is down to s*** tactics from s*** managers and shit individual performances as much as lack of bottle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 A lot of that is down to s*** tactics from s*** managers and shit individual performances as much as lack of bottle. Absolutely. Bad character and pure attitudes are born out of a lack of faith in the system or a lack of belief in the manager. Yes we have some suspect individuals but ultimately it's the managers job to keep them performing and working hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 For example. If Steve McClaren saw a bad attitude in say Moussa Sissoko and did nothing to rectify it, who is ultimately to blame? He refused to substitute him and he was the worst. Poor management. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
