I think we'll be ok today. Always 10x more nervous playing away, at the Bridge we've been solid this season. Just have to dig in for the long game as they'll sit deep and do nothing to try and make the game entertaining.

Cech, Cole, JT, Cahill, Ivan, Matic, Oscar, Schurrle, Willian, Salah, Ba. Oscar DLP to help with playing against the inevitable 10 men in their box.

I'm going with a scrappy, boring 2-0 win. Which i'll take.

I thibk it is because pool n spurs play with 2 strikers

True but one could also argue that Sunderland are not the most defensively solid of teams and playing with a back 3/5 gives them that security. Keep it tight, defend, don't give chances away and then look to pinch something on the break.

what's the point in giving Ivanovic a rest? would start him instead of Azpi

Exactly. Ivanovic should play this one and then rest get some rest while the others are playing Atletico and he's suspended. Letting Cole have some time on the pitch before the massive game next Tuesday wouldn't be a bad idea however, so maybe Cesar could sit this one out. Then again, Azpilicueta too could benefit from playing a game at RB after such a long period at LB...

Maybe rest one of the CB's and play Ivanovic there with Cole and Azpi as the full-backs? Cahill and Terry have been playing some insane minutes since new year so either of them could use some rest.

to be fair they're not completely bad .. they got us out of Carling cup yeah?!

I expect a better match than Swansea for us .. with plenty of goals ..

a 6-0 will be a great rehearsal for Atletico .. also good for the goal diff.

IMO, the most important things are the 3 points and a clean sheet ..

I love the optimism. I am optimistic that we will win. By all means I hope it will be a walk in a park. I don't think that will be the situation. Sunderland have 6 games left (18 points). They will fight every match for points and they will do their best to stay in the EPL. That means the match will not be easy. If we score many goals that will be great, but I will be satisfied with 3 points regardless of the score line.

azpi has not played at RB for sometime now. The back 4 of azpi-GC-JT-AC may have played a match together but I don't remember really. So its important that ways too.
