Sunderland, first game of the season

[surf]

So we're starting against Sunderland on August 13th. Anyone want to hazard a guess at the starting XI?

 

I'm going:

 

........................ Reina

Johnson - Carra - Agger - Enrique

............... Lucas - Adam

Kuyt ............. Aquilani......... Downing

..................... Carroll

[Stupid Sexy Flanders]

It'd be great is Aquilani was still at the club at the time, can't see it though.

Replace Aquilani with Henderson and thats what I think we'll start with.

no Stevie G and no Suarez and it all looks a bit ordinary, doesn't it?

 

still - it's only Sunderland f*** YOU MOCKERS !

[floyd the barber]

i reckon it`ll be the team that started in the week....with possibly enrique in at left bk, or kelly right bk and johnson left.

[Epic Swindle]

On paper maybe.

[Sion]

We'll be slightly under-strength I reckon

 

Reina

Flanagan Carra Agger Johnson

Is Suarez defo not going to be considered?

 

I'd have him on the bench at least

That it be, that it be.

 

Looks narrow on paper but in practice it'll try to be a 4-3-3. However, it'll not work and end being Kuyt & Henderson on the right of a midfield 5 stuck 40 yards behind Carroll, watching Carragher's hoofs fly over their heads.

I reckon Suarez will play.

So do I.

[Joppo]

If Aquilani is still here based on his pre season performances he should warrant a start. I´d go with Surf´s lineup with Suarez on the bench and fresh for Arsenal.

I see what dangerous game you're playing there

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Reina

 

Kelly Carra Agger Johnson

 

Meireles Lucas Adam Downing

 

Kuyt Carroll

[Prag]

Hasn't Suarez tweeted that he's travelling back tomorrow? If that's so then I think there's every chance he'll play, or minimum a sub.

Skrtel's picked up an injury and doesnt look like being fit for the opening day.

That will nearly do,

 

Reina; Enrique, Agger, Carragher, Johnson; Downing, Adam, Lucas, Henderson; Kuyt, Carroll

 

 

 

Keep formations flat
