Notice many are including Diarra

Will be interesting if he does play how noble, Nolan and Diarra play relative to noble, Diame, Nolan

I see Diame and Diarra as very different with one marauding up and down the pitch with the other sitting deep

Noble and Diarra on the same pitch could be very, very deep and will need wide midfield to carry the ball to avoid us becoming entrenched

Diame apparently on the bench, so our team might look something like this, bearing in mind that Big sam is very careful with handling players returning from injury and not overplaying those that are still lacking match fitness:

Jussi
Demel-Collins-Reid-Potts
Diarra-Noble
Vaz Te-Nolan-Jarvis
Chamakh

Subs: Spiegel, Tomkins, Spence, Diame, O'Neil, J.Cole, C.Cole

Good strong team, good strong options on the bench...

Would be nice to add to our paltry 5 away goals tally. There's no getting away from it, that is shocking in anybody's language, considering we've been playing since August

You're right, which is why I don't expect many goals in what I think will be a very dull game this game. Think just the one will clinch it. Expect this to be last match on MOTD.

One question: who the fûck will play LB? There's no way Sam will be starting with Potts there...

No choice presently . The only alternative is Taylor who i dont think has played there all season .

I think the play-off final has put Sam off the idea

Respect the point, until we find our goalscoring boots on our away travels this season, the win if it does come wont come by many goals.

Looking at Sunderland's home form in the league its 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, scoring 11, conceding 12

for us its 2 wins, 2 draws, 5 losses, scoring 5 conceding 11

Sunderland have scored in each of their last 3 home games, but can range from beating Man City 1-0 to losing to Villa 1-0.

Our last 3 away games we have failed to score, but on the positive side the last time we was in the North East we beat Newcastle 1-0.

Seems to be that if we are to grab anything then we cant let Sunderland score more than once.

Predict a tight game, and one goal could very well decide the outcome.

I would argue that we are not scoring many away goals because we are doing too much respecting the point.

No one seems to be including Collison, even on the bench. Have I missed something? Is he injured or something?

I think he's been pretty good since returning.

Wonder if he can play LB?

We ruin Jack Collison by working him too hard recently. Lets not make that same mistake again. He needs a weeks rest

i suspect that Collison will be at least on the bench - if we start with noble, nolan and diarra with Jarvis and Cole wide we may end up sitting too deep with no one in the middle to carry the ball . Jack on the bench will give the option to change it

Diarra, Collison and Nolan feels more balanced to me but Nobes has been one of our best players this season so wouldn't expect him not to start

Goals scored:

Sunderland Home : 11
Sunderland conceded home: 12
Sunderland away : 10
Sunderland conceded away: 17
Goal difference 21 played : -8

Only scored more than one in the money league at home twice, Reading 3-0 win and West Brom 2-4 loss.


West Ham home : 19
West Ham conceded home: 13
West Ham away : 5
West Ham conceded away : 11
Goal difference 20 played : 0

Scored two away from home once 1-2 at QPR.

So with all of the above, 1-4 to the Irons. Think we have so much more options now than them, if we can make them count.

Yeah, tall, tanned, was the exact player Wenger described when saying he wanted athletes over footballers, wasn't great in Turkey, will probably get booked or even sent off today.

Rose and Cueller missing is a right touch.

Jussi -

Demel - Reid - Collins - Potts -

Noble - Collison/Diarra -

Jarvis - Nolan - Cole -

Cole

With Cole coming inside a lot and Jarvis as our man out link where width is concerned..

I think a front three of J Cole, Chamakh and Jarvis could be very dangerous today. Just stick balls on his head like Cole was doing for Collins against United and they'll go in more often than not.

Would think Chamakh might start up top to give Cole a rest, he has had a lot of games in a row and Chamakh can't play on Wednesday so Cole is the only one available for that game.
