2-0 Villa.

Fuckers being fucked. Then we batter the CP Conpany boys on Thursday, roll Fulham and the Burnley and it all feels quite nice again.

If you'd have told me 7 months ago that Sunderland away 4 games in was going to be a must win...

Seem to recall a couple of good wins up there, even under Lambert.

They've won both home games so far though and they'll be up for it - let's hope we are!

With Fulham and Burnley to follow, we'd normally be hoping for 9 points from this.

Think it'll be close and nervy, with us trying to hold on to a narrow lead or a draw with lots of Sunderland pressure at the end.

Scape a 1-1.

Good Kamara is back at least as I think them signing Xhaka is one of the best signings made by a promoted club in over a decade. Certainly wouldn't fancy McGinn-Bogarde to nulify him.

Many won't see a draw at a newly promoted side as good enough but they've just got a 0-0 at Palace so can obviously defend fine in a low block.

We then really need to start winning at VP with the following games so this is crucial point of the season, even this early.

Agree, Watkins and Rogers off the mark, bing bang bosh.

The only twitch will be in BCV's trousers.

How pacy is their team?

I'd like to see us go back to the high line and energetic pressing. Bully them into giving us the ball high up the pitch. Not let them get comfortable and make sure they know who the newbies and who the top 6 team are. We have it in us to do this I'm sure...

Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen, Elliot, Kamara, McGinn, Sancho, Rogers, Watkins

I think this is where Emery will land. Attacking lineup obviously but likes of Rogers and Elliot can rotate during the game.

We have to beat somebody soon.  Might as well be these lot.

The question for me is, do we have the fight in us to win this one?
Having Kamara back is a bonus but we have to show some fight and resilience. I haven’t seen that so far so hopefully we suddenly show up on Sunday.
