Sunderland (A) - Post Match

[Chazza]

Interesting in what way?

Seeing a centre back who has never played centre midfield getting caught out of position on a regular basis?

Why would you even risk it?

[Danish_Pastry]

Why not? It would be interesting IMO.

Toure could do it - or Agger - but not Sakho. He is to much of Dj.Traore....

It was even clear today, that often the midfield expected Sakho to move the ball forward in an Aggerske form - but instead he stood there playing ping-pong until put under pressure.

Well he's black, a defender and left footed yeah.

[little dave hedgehog]

meget aggerske. aggerligt. aggeragtigt.

He's the sort of defender that likes to step forward into a tackle, to intercept if you like . I think that style is suited to Lucas's position.

I've seen agger suggested for this role as well. Why the **** would you want to put players in roles they are unfamiliar with unless its an emergency mid game.

[Leyton388]

I think it will be Henderson and Gerrard in the middle against palace.

Well Lucas is out for the next game & we need a plan B. plus Lucas needs a rest once in a while & competition is a good think no?

[SB]

So do I personally.

[frank the tank]

The fact that its against Palace should be ok - to be honest it should be a blessing in disguise as Lucas gets a clean slate now again

If Joe Allen can come in, then it should be him. Otherwise, push Hendo back into the centre and I wouldn't mind seeing Sterling on the wing.... Maybe Alberto could come in as well....

It's looking like BR might not fancy Aspas already

[Gibbo]

Henderson in the middle, Sterling at wing back I reckon

[wiw]

Gotta love Henderson's run in the build up to our third I don't think he even looked where the ball was going he just put his head down and ran his arse off. He's a machine

Haven't you heard mate.

He's mediocre and beyond average.

Oh right. Sorry.

[Shanks]

How ever did we manage that?!

Worst. Win. Ever.

Eh..

We had a better overall possesion rate, better pass rate, more shots on target..

You can only beat what's in front of you and judging by the stats, we deserved the win..

The passing, movement and pace for the Suarez goals was excellent..
