My team for next week.
Mignolet
Larsson cueller bramble rose
Johnson gardner Vaughan mcClean
Wickham Campbell
I know a lot of you want fletcher but I would rest him and bring him on later, plus wickham and campbell looked lively when they came on. Safc93

Cant understand why Campbell has been over looked he gives us some badly needed pace ! and the same for Vaughn ! why isnt he in the team !..i disagree with Bramble he was terrible today ,slow lethargic ,i would have put Killgallon in but realisticly as described on MOTD we need to sort the defence out ..and quickly !

The whole back four looked so pedestrian today ! my granny has more pace than Bramble , Cuealer ,and Oshea put together !

Every one having a go at the back four. It was a makeshift back four

Every back four Sunderland have put out for about three seasons now has been makeshift. It seems we only sign central defenders once they have demonstrated that they are no longer (and some never were!) worth a place elsewhere, and apart from a good spell about two years ago Bardsley has rarely looked the part- he does not have the pace to get up and down in the Premier League and is too often caught on the wrong side of his winger. Rose- a makeshift loan signing when O'Neill realised too late had fiddled away the summer and done nothing to address long-term defensive problems- has been far and away the most impressive defender, though he too has been caught out of position too often (can't blame him- he must despair playing with the shower around him). Rose apart, we don't have a single defender who would get into QPRs side- though they would no doubt still look quite good in the SPL, which seems to be the quality of player MoN favours. Face it, the best fullback performances from squad players we have seen over the past two seasons have been from Gardner and Colback- that tells you all you need to know about the defence, and the management of the team.

Agree with that tottally our defence has been the problem big time ..we seem to constantly play players ie gardener .coleback etc in these positions ..why dont we have cover for Rose and Bardley /?is there no reserves coming through ?...and MON doesnt seem sure about witch cetral defenders to play ...and cuellar and oshea are for too slow pat for the fullback postions as cruelly exposed in the man utd game !..time for MON to strenthen these postions..what about Stephen Warnock ? Dawson Collins, Dunn all solid defenders ..as Wes Brown is not avaible most of the time !

Question about MON why doesnt he play Campbell who scored today? where is JI ?.why doesnt he bring back Meyler when Catts is out for so long ?, Meyler was needed today !...i we need to go back to 4-4-2 Sess is NOT a striker MON has any sense hell block Campbell going out in Jan paticully to Steve Bruce !...again on today we are only playing one half we were appaling the first half !..again playing too deep when Man utds defence was there for the taking !

We should have made more of todays game ! no fight in the first half and the defence was a shambles.!..we keep talking about strikers but unless MON sorts out the defence we are going to be in trouble !

Look for goodness sake, we could have had any player at the club playing today,but they are not up to the task.Does the number of wins in the last year not tell you that.Look at the stats and we are worse than a relagation team,it lucky its over 2 half seasons.Nothing will change in the weeks ahead Mon will keep seeing the positives and we will keep swallowing the excuses.Johnson today, £3.9 million in wages,was he worth it ,no ,not even a fraction of it.He is just one of these overpaid players who are taking the mick out of us and the club.I dont know the answer but these players and manager and staff must be laughing all the way to the bank.Keep the faith ,yes, but not in this lot .

Johnson and Fletcher today were carrying injuries so why play them unless they are 100% fit ! ?...play the youngsters !

You lot are gonna get done 7-0 today good luck

Is that coming from a Geordie well your gonna get done by city at least we beat city at home last time

Wheres your 7 gone. Wheres your 7 gone. Typical clueless glory supporter. Could have been a draw if we had a goal scorer up front

7-0 eh??? 3-1 and it could of been alot worse for utd if we didn't give away cheap goals, sunderland were the better team, how many teams go to glory utd and have more shots on target and be the better team 2nd half, one word one SUNDERLAND AFC!

HA HA well it was 3-1 !

Anyone think we should put in a bid for Mohamed Diame of west ham he's got a 3.5 mill release clause in his contract being playing really well just what we need in cm.chris33

Defo diame is a quality midfielder

Its a no brainer he should be first on MONs christmas list

He's just done his hamstring...long term injury!

What six weeks thats not long term? sign him...thats that

Wouldn't buy any player with hamstring problems once that happens they are never the same player

We are only in a position to bring in a certain amount of players who conform to our wage structure, so lets bring in a injured player who's just been offered a double your money deal by his club. He's also a player who turned us down in the summer choosing to go to West Ham on a free.
