Sunderland build up

[Shaggy]

Early days but **** it, it's our next game.

Pick YOUR XI for the game - not what you think Kenny will pick, pick your team.

I'm gonna post mine soon but I've been trying for a while and I haven't got a ****ing clue

I do know Henderson wouldn't be in my starting XI next week.

Pepe
Johnson Carra Agger Aurelio
Kuyt Adam Lucas Downing
Suarez Carroll

Kelly RB if Johnson's out.

Same as Craig H - though I thought Suarez wasn't going to start. Kuyt in for Suarez if so, and Meireles on the right (if fit) - wouldn't throw Henderson in against his old team for his debut...

Kelly RB is Johnson's out.

I'd go with that too, I think. It's that bit easier for now while Gerrard and Meireles (?) are out. Very difficult to pick a team with them available, which is obviously great for us.

My subs would be:

Doni, Kelly (or Flanno), Kyrgiakos, Henderson, Aquilani, Maxi Rodriguez, Ngog

That will do me Mata won't be match fit so leave him on the bench

Forgot about Raul M

It'd be a toss up between him and Charlie, but maybe Adam takes it for his tendency to take responsibility in the creativity/try something different stakes.

Aquilani wouldnt be far off either, in fairness. Maybe an impact from the bench.

Same, with Kuyt for Suarez if Luis aint ready and Henderson right.

If we ever manage to have a fully fit squad this season, Kenny is gonna have some headache

If Suarez has a friendly in the week I'd play Maxi behind Carroll with Kuyt on the right. Otherwise ditto.

We've finally developed a bit of depth in the squad.

Why the hell would Uruguay need to play a friendly though ? Seriously why would they need to when they've just completed the Copa América what 2 weeks ago? Don't there players deserve a break?

Not having a go at you weatherman by the way

No worries, I just imagined it would be fairly typical though, and it being an international date, even the most idiotic date though*, does anyone know if that's indeed the case?

* Don't understand FIFA/UEFA, why don't they throw the clubs a bone? They are going to be facing a breakaway league very soon if they keep up their arrogance.
