Was reading about Poyet and he's basically rejected the passing game to get points any which way they can. They'll do a Lambert, not risk much, aim for a point, sit back, play on the counter. Which means advantage us, because our team knows that particular gameplan inside out, and know what effect an early goal from us will do to Sunderland's confidence - if that happens then Sunderland won't have a plan B. Oh cruel mistress this optimism is.
