He needs to find some form, still think he is fretting his leg and finds it easier to hide.  A lot of choices in mf probably too many, both Diouf and Malbranque can play right side although neither has anywhere near the pace of Carlos

[FLi !]

yea Carlos still looking a bit rusty...they had him drop back to right back for about the last 15 minutes of the 2nd half.

I REAL impressed with the way diouf and chimbonda was knocking; it's like they had a premiership understanding and you could see they was experienced.

Diouf was doing most of the penetrating in the first half and early part of the 2nd and I could see trouble when Kenwyne come back as he would have someone to aim for in the box.

Nosworthy solid in the back as usual and Keiran Richardson have more goals to score from outside the box!

Sunderland were in control for the whole first half and for the majority of the second, with a few minor lapses in concentration, but no real danger in the back.

We shall see how this season progresses.
