Whilst I agree there are changes needed I still think we need to attack as the best form of defence is to attack your opponents! And not to be to defensive! We need the balance right in all aspects of the team setup! Attacking defending keeping the ball better and longer as a team! Desire determination and heart it's a massive team and fan effort required to win this game! So come all you mackems scream your heart out for the team on Sunday! I kna this is asking a lot, because of the way they have performed recently! But if we really want to win this game it will take every ounce of courage from the team and us the fans! So come on the lads! Sunderland till I die 2-1 please

Ed has there been a team in our position at this stage survived before?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed024's Note - I've only had a quick look - but I don't think so. Unless anyone knows any better ?

Southampton is the only one there has been 3 teams in our position before with only the saints staying up mate

4-1-3-2

And drop giacherini?. would play that but put giacherini in instead of cabral and dossena in for colback, cobacks weak there we get too exposed

Agree0 Disagree0

Westwood
Celustka, O'Shea, Diakite, Colback
Ki, Catts,
Larsson, Giaccherini, Johnson
Fletcher

•The defence must leave no gaps at all, they have 3 quick players up front who can punish
•Catts needs to stay on the field
•Wingers must track back
•Don't let Giaccherini get out numbered
•Larsson (RM), Johnson (LM) put balls in the box for fletcher and Giaccherini
•Don't be lazy on the ball, make space for each other and make sure the pass is good
•DON'T CONCEDE FROM SET PIECES

Agree0 Disagree0

I think were so all over the place it's not worth worrying or thinking about which players go out there sunday. Whoever they are have to show guts and desire and our job is to create an amazing atmosphere and just see where it gets us. Certainly don't want to go to a derby game feeling anything other than pumped up and passionate.

Agree0 Disagree0

O'Shea? Seriously?

You must be the only SAFC fan that would have him anywhere near the squad let alone the starting line up!

Agree0 Disagree0

Okay I'm sorry, I completely forgot about Brown


But if he does play, it would not be the end of the world Baring in mind…
•No one wanted him in the team last time yet he was absolutely phenomenal
•He is used to the big game occasions
•If you want to replace him with Roberge or Diakite who have just been as bad as him and with no experience in this sort of game is a huge gamble


But either way, I still think we'll get thumped
We have good players, but a bad team

Agree0 Disagree0

We need to play 2 wingers who will drop back to support our defenders this will counter act Newcastle wide men and also I think debuchy and santon along with lads in the middle of their defence are vulnerable against anyone with pace coming from midfield so I would play a 4 5 1 system

Agree0 Disagree0

Team I'd like to see Sunday.
Westwood
Celustka Brown Diakite Dossena
Cattermole
Cabral Ki
Giaccherini
Altidore Fletcher

Mannone, Roberge, Johnson, Mavrias, Borini, Wickham

I would agree with that but you get 7 subs so maybe have Karlsson in as well

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry Marra there's nee natural width in that team! Two defensive midfielders with the little man with any real pace! Wouldn't work for me! As both fletch and Altidore ain't the fastest strikers in the world!

Agree0 Disagree0

Thats where the full backs come in to act more like wingers.

Agree0 Disagree0

In a team that's playing well maybe! But our lot at the moment ain't really at the races! I think the simpler the better at the moment! With everyone doing the jobs there suppose to be doing! Concentration for the full match! And a hard fought must win game! Sunderland till is die!
