interesting as to fergies team selection given that they have an all important game on wednesday and..... they are not in the driver's seat.

sunderland may come thusty as relegation beckoning and jones may feel he needs to silence some nay sayers. this may be a manu rout or sunderland hanging onto the ropes 4 dear life. only time will tell.

rest 1 on them jones.

If Kenwyne was not Trinidadian more people than not, would have callin him overated! Which he is! He needs tuh change positions tuh a more defensive role if he dos not plan on improving the skills necessary to produce as a forward. Who vex, vex!

Been saying that for a while. He not seeming any more like a true forward after a few years. strength and size could only carry yuh so far. Maybe defensive midfield to brutalize and command some fear?

i actually think he in his best position. he alot 2 do still but i thin khe is in the right position

Kenwyne ever make any comments recently about his lack of form of late? Surely Sunderland news reporters would have interviewed him about this....Oddly enough I think the decline started soon after he signed his new 4 year contract. He scored a goal in the game right after signing and after that is SALT!!!

Right now this youngster's confidence must be down in the dumps....but he have to realize that these clubs are businesses and if yuh not producing the goods yuh will lose yuh wuk in short time....He should be working harder than most on the training pitch trying to perfect his skills as a striker. Most of his goals were headers and lots of times they weren't that spectacular. De man have to get more ruthless in front of goal....I remember he used to run at defenders at the youth level...where dat gone? Have the English managers changed his game that much that he lost all skill and now only know how to head de ball? It reach to the point where he not even trappin de ball properly... like he forget how to use he foot.

I always support my soca warrior players....so I hope he can improve his performances starting with this game against Man U tomorrow. If however he has another bad game and his form for the rest of the season is poor....he has to hope that Sunderland does not get relegated, so that way he can work hard on his deficiencies over the summer....bcz I'm pretty sure if they remain in the premiership they are probably going to make a few buys over the summer...Strikers are definitely going to be top priority!!!

Good luck tomorrow to Kenwyne and Carlos!!! Hopefully Dwight can at least be on the bench and run out for a few minutes as well!!

Ah well what can I say, but pray for a surprise.

Sbragia has been his usual negative self this week and dwight has suggested in the papers he plays him, so I wouldn't be too shocked to see him in the team. The players seem to be running the club at the minute. Only at Sunderland.

http://www.safc.com/news/team-news-tainio-returns.html

George McCartney (calf) is ruled out of Sunderland's game against Manchester United while David Healy (groin) and Dean Whitehead (calf) are unlikely to feature.

Nyron Nosworthy is back in the squad after recovering from a hamstring injury and Teemu Tainio returns from a knee problem.

Loan defender Calum Davenport, who was ineligible to play against parent club West Ham last weekend, is available.

Carlos Edwards is pushing for a start and Kenwyne Jones is likely to return to Sunderland's line-up.

Sunderland (from): Gordon, Fulop, Bardsley, Ferdinand, Nosworthy, Ben-Haim, Davenport, Collins, McShane, Tainio, Whitehead, Leadbitter, Yorke, Edwards, Malbranque, Richardson, Reid, Jones, Cisse, Murphy, Healy.

As it is Manu there are quite a few foriegn sat channels carrying it so there should be no problems finding a working link.

As always not confirmed so if they don't work, my apologies.

KJ have a lot of potential in that position. He needs to learn the position better, based on his abilities. What KJ has not had is the coaching to develop those qualities. If KJ was at a club like Ajax, PSV, Arsenal, Hamburg, ManU etc you would see more balance and development in his play.

Lets face it it eh go happen at Sunderland.

Trini · « **Reply #2473 on:** April 11, 2009, 06:49:12 AM »

personally, i believe if Sunderland get demoted, it won't be that bad for T&T.

History has shown us that we have achieved more when the majority of our players were not playing at the top level (1989 and 2005).

When we had men starring for Man U every week, and first choice keeper for Portsmouth/Newcastle or even Stern at Birmingham, they were vast underachievers in national colours.
I dont know if there was added tension in the team as these men would have seemed to be on a totally different superstar level.
When men was fighting up in Championship and First Division (Stern, Birchall, Lawrence, Sancho, Edwards etc etc) we did better.

To me the real benefit of the premiership was seeing our players week in, week out on tv, agasint some of the best in the world. But this week-in week-out against the best in the world it seemed never really helped T&T at the time.

Plus i always find is like more drame to get players released when they in Premiership.....

Good for sunderland = bad for T&T

I don't know about youth level, but at Southampton he wasn't just scoring headers and leaping all over the place. They had a passing game. They played the ball on the ground and to Kenwyne's feet. He ran at defenders more regularly. Granted his touch was never great but his footwork was decent and his shooting was much better than it is now. It's almost like Sunderland are "playing to his strength in the air" so much that he's out of practice using his feet now.

A good performance vs man U could also see Fergie paying closer tabs, as Man u have a habit of snapping up players who do well against them in the premiership.

Get real.

No way would Man Utd buy a striker with such poor foot skills.

Edwards and Jones starting, Yorkie on the bench!

Wow...Carlos might really be back to top form he starting and Richardson not even on the bench...hopefully we see Dwight come on today.

Richardson injured apparently. And Malbranque has been shit recently. So hopefully Carlos can grab this chance.

Bitter · « **Reply #2480 on:** April 11, 2009, 08:11:59 AM »

So far the game plan for Sunderland seems to be have the keeper play it long and then pass it back down the field to the keeper, who plays it long again. Man U just waiting for the errant pass.
