Team for Sunderland

Right, last night is done with. Now on to fixing the problem....

----------------------------Hart--------------------------------

Zaba--------Vince-----------------Lescott--------------Clichy

-------------Milner------------------Barry---------------------


--------Tevez------------Silva-------------------Sinclair-------


-----------------------------Aguero--------------------------


I'd drop Yaya, Lescott back. Milner and Sinclair given a go.

I wouldn't drop Yaya Id play him instead of Sinclair
Personally I'd go with the same back 4 as yours Jo then

Milner Yaya Garcia Barry
Tevez Aguero

A much more solid midfield is what we need with Yaya providing the attacking force from MF
Bring Silva Dzeko Nasri and or Sinclair on in the 2nd half

.........................................Hart..............................................



.....Zaba..................Kolo.....................Lescott...................Clichy..



Sinclair................Silva...........Barry............Yaya............Tevez......



........................................Aguero............................................



If anybody needs a kick up the arse this season its Vinny......I don't care how good he was last year - this season he's been shite.

I'd play Sinclair out wide with Tevez on the other side, Yaya and Silva each side of Barry/Milner (if Barry is still injured as per last night) who can sit back in front of Lezza and Kolo if needed - leaving Silva and Yaya to support Aguero through the middle.

I've heard Yaya got a knock last night, is he going to be fit to play?

Agreed Vinny has been poor, but to replace him with Kolo is a bit harsh on Nastasic, who did pretty well last night. And I'd give Little Joe the armband, if only because his performance last night justifies it.

I'd go with this:

------------------------- Hart ------------------------

---- Zaba ----- Nastasic ----- Lescott ----- Clichy ----

------------ Rodwell ---------------- Barry ------------

------- Silva ---------- Tevez ----------- Milner -------

----------------------- Aguero ------------------------

Hart
Zabba, Nasty, Lezza, Clichy
Barry
Milner, Silva, Nasri
Tevez, Dzeko

Who knows who he'll play and how we'll set up.

..................Pants

....Milner.......Kolo.......Kola

Rodwell...Nasri.....Sinclair......Yaya

...........Balotelli.......Silva

................Dzeko

Alright alright, more realistically i'll go with:

...................Hart

Zab.........Vince.......Lescott.....Clichy

..Nasri......Yaya.......Barry.......Silva

.............Agureo......Tevez

Very good, very sensible team that 2nd one den. pretty much a championship winning team.

no chance bobby will go for that!

expect at least 6 changes from the dortmund team. nasty will be down to sub so here is my 2nd attempt...

Hart
Maicon, Vinnie, Lezza, Kolarov
Barry, Yaya
Milner, Silva
Tevez, BValotelli

After the last couple of games I do not think that Yaya is worth his place,and Balotelli is still not putting in a full shift.Milner deserves his chance he always gives 100%,and I think Dzeko is more of a threat than Mario.But that is only one more opinion!!

Yaya and Garcia are out by all accounts, so who does that leave in midfield now. Barry and Rodwell flanked by Silva and Nasri maybe.

Takin my daughter again as my mate can't make it, won't stop me going in the Eastlands bar at 11.30ish though.......if anyone fancies it

Think i mentioned before but this season nobody can correctly predict our starting 11, it would be nice if we could pick the same team or near enough each week. I think changing so much each week is knocking the confidence out of the players who for some reason dont do alot wrong (Milner, Clichy, Lescott) then find themseves dropped.
Agree with rotation but there is a fine balance between change and disruption...

Agreed belly. It certainly seems to have effected us.
