Team for Sunderland

Think over time he may prove to be but until he has a stinker I'd stick with Engel.
He’s been responsible for more goals against than any other player in the squad - simply not good enough to start every week in a side that aspires to be promoted. I don’t get how he’s achieved near cult status whilst stalwarts like Crooks (who cost less than Engel) seem to be a regular target for the boo boys
 
Is Dijksteel injured? I wouldn’t be against him over Ayling. I am not a huge fan of Clarke playing with Engel. I would prefer VDB or even McNair in.
 
Latte Lath out out for weeks, Jones is still out

Jones
Thomas
McNair
Clarke
Barlaser
O’Brien
McCabe
Azaz
Gilbert

Is Coburn fit? Is Hoppe registered? Is Matthews.. ready?
Barlaser for Greenwood with Hackney moving left


Do wonder why Coburn hasn't had his hernia operated on?
 
It’ll be

Glover

Ayling RVDB Fry Thomas

Hackney Howson

Crooks Azaz Greenwood

Coburn

I would like it to be

Glover

Ayling RVDB Fry Thomas

Hackney O’Brien

Crooks Azaz Greenwood

Forss
 
I'd be surprised if Thomas starts, purely as Carrick tends to bed them in a bit first (Azaz, Ayling were exceptions due to circumstance)

I reckon

Glover

Ayling
Fry
vdB
Engel

Hackney
Howson

Greenwood
Crooks
Forss

Coburn

If Coburn isn't fit enough then Azaz
 
Glover

Ayling
Fry
VDB
Engel

Hackney
Barlaser

Forss
Azaz
Greenwood

Coburn

Hackney and Barlaser ran the midfield against these back in October!!!
 
I honestly don't see why McGree can't start - what's he made of, candy floss? Qatar is 3 hours ahead of the UK, so jet lag isn't a factor - 12.30 kick off's like 3.30 for him anyhow.

McGree owes us. He's had a long lay off and as soon as he got fit he was off. Get him in the team.
 
Glover.

Ayling
Rav.
Fry
Engel.

Howson
Barlaser
Hackney.

Forss
Azaz.
Greenwood
If that's right then the logical thing is 4-3-3 with Forss in the middle but wouldn't put it past Carrick to stick with 4-2-3-1, Forss on the right, Greenwood as CF and Hackney as left wing.
