One thing I don't doubt under TS (well for now at least) is that he'll have the players up for every game the moment they step out onto the pitch...whatever happens after that is anyones guess, but if they aren't following the game plan or not putting in the effort then these issues will be addressed one way or another at half time (you could never say that about the same team under TSM2).
Sunderland are shite so a couple of early goals will do...
1-3 Villa
