Exactly. What does it say about our CL aspirations next year?
Harrys lack of rotation bit us in the arse last year in one way (burnout) and now it's bitten us again in rustiness.
Next season, assuming we make it, how does he tend to juggle them again if he continues with this best 11...
Need more strength in depth?
Our back line tonight was fine in terms of personnel. But form and lack of minutes this season is the reason they were so sloppy.
I don't think 'better players' would've done any better, every player gets rusty.
Is there anything Pav doesn't ruin?
11 changes prior to Pav injury... hmmmm surely that doesn't include Modric playing, so that means no Sandro or Parker.
I would be dissappointed if we started with Livermore and Carroll in midfield as they're not good enough to create chance for the forwards.
Definitely not impossible. I have a friend who was able to hide painful stuff from their past from absolutely everyone involved in their life until they were 22 and it all came out in a letter when they were on the verge of suicide.
They even hid their use of anti depressants too.
Over...
Because regardless of personnel they beat us every year, finish above us every year and just generally make us their whipping boys?
Every year people on here start talking about how, man for man United aren't much stronger than us, that we're level with them or that we're better than them and...
What rubbish.
You don't have to be living in Sunderland to play for them and there are some lovely areas in the North East.
Do you think Modric lives on the bloody high road?
Playing in some nobody league should not be commended over playing in the Premier League.
When has Pienaar been an impressive player on the right at any point in his career?
Pienaar was at his best in the centre of a 5 man mid or on the left.
We will batter Bolton and go 2nd, I'm confident Villa will get a draw with United too.
But I'd still like to see:
Better positioning from Walker
More pressure off the ball from midfield
More tackles from Bale - the laziest sod on our team without the ball
Better finishing ratio from Adebayor...
Naughty can't be recalled unfortunately.
Shame because if Charlie really wants to go, I'd bring Naughty in. And if Bassong still wants to go, I'd bring Caulker in.
Maybe next summer.
