★★★ SAFC vs Man Utd Match Thread ★★★

[Seaham Towny]

Bar their front three that side is toilet.

Did everyone forget who we had in our squad? If AJ is injured then it's just about our strongest team. No need to be worried about Rooney, Mata etc. they have been poor & may well be again. They will have us beat before kick off if our players are thinking like this also.

 

[Walmo]

That's the spirit...

 

[Abdoujaparov]

I reckon we've got every chance at home, their confidence won't be the best at the moment. I'm not expecting an easy game, but we might as well have a go at them.

Who dares wins.

I hope that they look as unsure with their back 3 system as they did against Swansea.

 

[Gaz]

We'd lack width then. Against Utd's new system using the whole pitch and getting your full backs and wide strikers to get past Utd's wing backs leaves their defence in a right problem. This formation LVG is using is easily beatable.

Spot on, buckley & wickham need to get at them as much as possible. We have a good chance if they can

 

[Pete Bog]

On paper we look second best but as long as we play with pride it's all I ask for. SAFC forever. Ha'way the Lads!

• SUNDERLAND: Mannone, Vergini, van Aanholt, Brown, O'Shea, Cattermole, Larsson, Rodwell, Buckley, Wickham, Fletcher

• MAN UNITED: De Gea, Blackett, Jones, Smalling, Valencia, Young, Cleverley, Fletcher, Mata, Rooney (c), van Persie

• Referee: Martin Atkinson

 

[PineappleHeed]

United had a much stronger team in May when we bummed them at Old Trafford.

 

[Oh Bugger]

Fletch will be on fire today.

 

[Unashamedly Handsome]

Fletch will be on fire today.

He's due one.

 

[raven_5]

Shame we're forced to play Wickham on the wing again.

 

[ANonnyMoose]

fletcher wickham buckley.

vs

van persie rooney mata.

wouldn't be so bad if wickham looked arsed down the left, buckley being an unknown at this point and fletcher being incapable of producing anything himself.

I thought Wickham looked arsed down the left against WBA, just not exactly effective.

 

[Swindon On Tour]

3 Swindon fans (both boys wearing their Swindon tops) are watching your game on sky and cheering you on.
Driven down to see relatives and have sky on (rare for me).
Ha'way to you all.......good luck.

Flaming sambucas?

 

[Kid Galahad]

Fletch will be on fire today.

Can't remember the last time he was even smouldering...

 

[sessafc]

Haway Buckley lad. Fancy us to score twice. Fuck knows how our defence holds up.

 

[Oh Bugger]

And the Van Gaal love in starts.

 

[CheersMarra84]

I hope that they look as unsure with their back 3 system as they did against Swansea.

It'll be interesting to see if Buckley has a go at running at Blackett and testing him, if he gets the better of him it'll unsettle his confidence a bit. I really hope they put in the a similar performance like as they did against Swansea.

 

[GipseT]

will be interesting if the back for manu don't hold it they don't have any way of correcting it... lets hope!

Van garl is a ugly twat mind
