[Eric Young is God]

Don Love and Lynden Gooch, now thats a dream pairing.

 

[Tredman]

I missed the last home game because I was sat at Stoke hospital for a pointless appointment, I'm missing this game as I'm sat at Stoke hospital with my new born son

If Cav scores today I might name him Ivan

 

[Tony Towner]

Congratulations. Let's hope Bright scores, Bright Tredman has a ring about it.

Congrats Tredman - Big Wily to score the first, just know that you want to name him that

Big Wily would be ideal! Say far all my ideas of Nuno, Diogo and Ruben have been shot down.

We have kicked off - usual direction attacking the NB in the first half

 

[Siggy]

Congrats Tredman my wife wanted to call our newest Ruben, I said no. Now I am sad.

Doherty run - wins the first corner

Neves superb ball out to Cav - cross finds Douglas who hammers the ball at the goal

Saiss tries to get to it but only diverts it out for a corner - possibly on target if he hadn't touched that

 

[Norman Deeley]

Congratualtions, Tredman - all the very best to you and your wife

 

[Jolemai]

Aye, congrats Tredman

Sunderland sitting very deep with midfield almost back on their defence

Asking us to find a way through - Doherty & Douglas playing the game almost entirely in the Sunderland half

 

[Carrotdude]

Annoyingly, Coleman is quite good at setting a team up for a 0-0, sounds like it might need something special to get ahead in this one

You can see what the gameplan is for them - sit deep with two lines of players, and every time one of our front three gets on the ball a defender and a midfielder come forward to press them and force them off the ball. It's working so far as well, although they do look susceptible to breaks in the wide areas.

Unlike the last match this one actually might need N'Diaye rather than Saiss, just to commit an extra body forward through the middle. We don't need both Neves and Saiss in front of our defence here.

Neves ball over the top finds Jota - shot is pulled horribly away to the right

This just needs the one right ball to get behind them
