Sunderland (A) - 3pm, 02/01/17 - Starting the new year on the Wear.

[G Richards]

Unfortunately Sunderland were poor today so I think they will see a bounce in their level at home to us. It will be harder than most of us expect.

 

Any win will do. Just get the three points and then we will get some rest to regroup, bring one or two back from injury, wave goodbye for a little while to Mane, and hopefully sign Promes pronto to keep the red machine rolling.

[an tha]

Fact is Sunderland are dogshite and if we are serious about challenfing for top 4 or the title then we should be beating them...

 

Outside of the top 6 the pl is full of shite - right down at the bottom is the worst of that shite. Swat it aside redmen!

[kalasoma]

Silence the crowd early and often or I'll take another 1-0 win if I have to.

This.

 

Even at this stage, it is about grinding out results not, having a cakewalk.

[therevivalist]

if we take Sunderland as seriously as we do Chelsea, it's an easy win.

[VladimirIlyich]

There are no easy wins in football,look at Burnley and Bournemouth for proof of this! But if we treat it in the way we should and always do under Klopp then we should get the points. The bottom teams still win games but lets hope this isnt one of them.

[Joe Strummer]

Lucas Moreno Sturridge Origi and Mane should all start. Maybe not the kids as they can be saved for Plymouth.

[Grinch]

Simply need to be picking up the three points. They're abysmal and just as tired so no excuses.

[Kevin D]

I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain.

 

I hope I can make it across the border.

 

I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand.

 

I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams.

 

I hope we get beat.

[Stickman]

Think it will be tough as that performance yesterday will take a lot out the players, it will be even tougher as by the looks of it they didn't even try at Burnley so they should be fresh.

[Hand Shandy]

We'll get snotted.

[magicrat]

Potential banana skin but we will probably win. The danger is that we are knackered after yesterday and lose the intensity.  The prize is that the Chav's then have to go to the Spuds with their lead down to 3 points, A bit of pressure is required if they are to start dropping points and its much easier playing first up and then have your rivals play catch up. It's our chance to put down a marker.

I disagree with this..the league is full of shite and the amount of wins sides in the bottom half of the table have against the teams in the top 5/6 this season is next to fuck all.

 

We should be dicking Sunderland just like we all know Chelsea et al would.

[ZonkoVille77]

Moyes being their manager is what makes me nervous. His astounding record in the PL is without doubt a major factor in determining the result of this fixture.

 

Shitting it.

[LFC 6 Times]

Considering next 2 are cup games, would go strong as possible here. Something like Mig, Clyne, Lovren, Klaven, Moreno, Can, Wij, Lallana, Mané, Sturridge, Origi.

Normally I'd agree, but Chelsea needed a wonder save to win when they went there.

[3 Stacks]

They are a complete shambles at the back. I'd play 4-4-2 with Sturridge and Origi up top and just hoof it up to them over and over. They won't be able to deal with that.

Is that you Woy? Is this me?

[Grinch]

Going for five league wins in a row. Must be a while since we've done that.

[sir roger]

A win of any sort would be ace as any possible result in the Spurs / Chelsea game is positive if that happens.

[alles ist gut]

Going for five league wins in a row. Must be a while since we've done that.

 

Feb/March 2015 - Spurs, Soton, Man City, Burnley, Swansea.

[Unrighteous]

Just do these cunts.

[therevivalist]

Come on people, have some faith. If we can't beat these lot with our second string, we might as well give up.

[Bjornebye]

Is Milner out for this then?

Has he got a knock then?
