Too many mince pies the fat bastard. He's always "injured" round Christmas.

You wonder if the hungover theory is true?

Good team. Happy Blind is at LB instead of Darmian.

Hope we see Miki on at some point. Really want to see him, Zlatan & Mata together.

So mikhy back on the bench

Pretty predictable since he has been out for a month.

He might not be fully fit yet. He won't want him being thrown in and then coming off with another injury. He will ease him back in gently.

Tarrou · Dec 26, 2016

Good team. Glad Blind is back in and I think Mata is a good choice for this one.

MyOnlySolskjaer · Dec 26, 2016

Strong bench.

Sparky10Legend · Dec 26, 2016

Thank the lord no Rooney, as for Miki, thats a disaster

Raw · Dec 26, 2016

I'm alright with that team. Thought Darmian would start again so I'm pleasantly surprised that Blind has come in.

Didn't really expect Mkhi to start straight after his injury, hope he comes on later though.

DomesticTadpole · Dec 26, 2016

Bailly misses out
Eric Bailly not included, despite arriving with the squad. Ashley Young the other outfielder to miss out.

Ashley Young misses out as the 19th man again. Thought he'd have had more chances after how well he did at Anfield. #mufc

just back from injury , no need to rush him back on the bench for this game is right I think.

Good team too.

Jeez, bearing in mind he was on the bench for 4 months it makes sense its a bit worrying as he's close to our best player.

Terminator · Dec 26, 2016

Our teams lacks pace to stretch Sunderland. Sunderland are going to defend for their lives here, we need to break them down.

Dec9003 · Dec 26, 2016

Pretty happy with the team, the only change I'd make is Mkhy in for Mata but we don't know his fitness.
Give Mkhy the last half an hour and I'll be happy, our U21's should be able to beat Sunderland.

Disaster is him coming back from injury and not starting right away?

Raw · Dec 26, 2016

Also feck the guy who said Martial would start. I switched Lingard out for him in the last second :lol:

That he doesnt start, that he's class and not on the pitch.

That he creates, and scores, goals.

That enough?

Erm, he's just back from injury. A "disaster" it is certainly not, it's expected against a poor Sunderland side at home.

But carry out being massively over-dramatic if it feels good.

Minkaro · Dec 26, 2016

Congratulations to Pickford on his MOTM performance.

Classical Mechanic · Dec 26, 2016

Time to heap the punishment on wee Moyesy. This gonna be good.

9/11 seems to be my norm this season.

cyberman · Dec 26, 2016

Ah the weekly panic about pace and why Jose is wrong because he didn't choose the players you would have.
Never change folks.

DomesticTadpole · Dec 26, 2016

BLACK CATS' TEAM
Sunderland: Pickford; Jones, Djilobodji, Kone, van Aanholt; Denayer, Ndong; Borini, Larsson, Anichebe; Defoe. Subs: Mannone, Love, O'Shea, Embleton, Khazri, Honeyman, Asoro.

MarchingOn · Dec 26, 2016

I really hope Moyes' words bring something out of the team, the fans, and Jose today.

Make him realize the gap between himself and our club.

3-0 United

just back from injury , may not be 100% match fit , why rush him back
That enough ?

Abizzz · Dec 26, 2016

Rooney not even in the squad, did I miss something?

Anduin · Dec 26, 2016

I can barely remember a worse Premier League team than this Sunderland team put out today, they are fecking awful. We really should smash them, no excuses. Maybe Derby 2007/08 IIRC were as bad as them, but that's about it.

If we lost, or even drew, to a team with Ndong and Denayer in midfield then we're never living it down.

Sparky10Legend · Dec 26, 2016

On the plus side, no Rooney, although his luck with "assists" this year it would surprise me if one came off his head (on the sidelines) and fell to Zlatan.

Which is why starting him straight after he has returned from what looked like a nasty knock and risk injuring him further would be the dumb thing to do.

If he's on the bench, he's fit Einstein.
