roonst83 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 If everyone is fit this is the team I would go with. Guzan Bacuna Vlaar Clark Luna KEA Westwood Delph Weimann Agbonlahor Benteke Id rather put Lowton at RB and Bacuna on the right of midfield. I agree with this - I much prefer Lowton at RB and think him and Luna as our full backs would offer much more going forward. But with a 4-3-3 I wouldn't have bacuna in the middle, so id bring in Lowton and drop Bacuna to the bench. We need to go at Sunderland from the off.

mikeyp102 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 This should be a fairly easier game but knowing villa we'll find a way to make it hard. I think we'll go: Guzan Bacuna. Vlaar. Clark. Luna Delph. Westwood. Kea . Gabby Kozak Benteke Be looking for gabby to run both channels (even though probably will stay more left. With the fullbacks to offer more width Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avflife Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Would be 4-1-3-2 for me, Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Baker, Luna, Westwood, Bacuna, Delph, Sylla, Benteke and Gabby. But can see KEA starting over Sylla and Kozak given an opportunity, but not sure who for. 3-1 Villa, Gabby, Benteke and Delph.

KHV Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Worrying how many are expecting us to walk this. There have been some big upsets this season, this is a game we could win or lose just like any other. Whether last season's game will make them nervous or determined could go either way. we should really be winning it, Sunderland are terrible away from the stadium of light.

avfcdave Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Don't see this being the team we go with but it would be my preferred option, fitness permitting. Guzan Lowton Vlaar Clark Luna Westwood KEA Delph Bacuna Agbonlahor Benteke Still think Weimann's lacking composure at the moment but him and Tonev give us good attacking options off the bench. Prediction: 2-1 Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 The last game Sunderland won away was against Newcastle the game before we beat them 6-1 in April. They have since taken 1 point from their away games (of 24 points) and scored 3 goals! We've got to take three points tomorrow. If we don't I'm staying well clear of VT for the next week!

Davkaus Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'd like to see Albrighton get a bit of a run out as a sub now that he's back. He can offer a lot more than Tonev or Jordan bloody Bowery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Sunderland are a pile of crap and risking egg on face I expect a comfortable win tomorrow. I am not sure how many will see it as Villa Park looks rather empty on the ticket page on the website. Could be a low 30,000+ one which would be a shame.

gwi1890 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 bacuna needs to be moved further up the pitch I don't see him as a winger or and inside forward where did he play for groinigen? playing numerous positions will be he's downfall he won't get good at any of them can he play in the hole behind the striker? lowton deserves a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Read the BBC match preview. All the stats point to us absolutely hammering them I am suddenly a lot less confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCRAMTIN Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Sunderland are fighting for survival and every match is deadly important for them. I remember us last season fighting for every match and trying our best against any odds. On paper it really looks like a walk in the park but knowing us every match is like russian roulette.. And when it comes to the starting line-up I would like to see Lowton back and I also think Gabby, Andi and Delph will start on the bench again. Not because PL is a fool but because of their long absence and becasue of what he said during his press conference - "“In the dressing room they were exhausted and that was from the short space of time they were on. It will have done them the world of good to get back into it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 My youngest boy supports Sunderland (yes, like me, he enjoys a challenge) so in these games against each other we are both happy to take draws. I felt really sorry for him last year, though I loved the fantastic football we played that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 This really is a game we should be winning but you just never know with us I'm hoping the reintroduction of Delph Gabby Luna and Weimann will give us a bit of impetus Would really like Lowton back in and Bacuna further up Benteke really needs a goal... I hope he gets it A nervy 2-1 win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
