Sunderland vs Aston Villa match thread

Gil and Grealish anonymous so far

Just-Sheared needs to deliver today.

Agree.
He needs to be a cut above the rest today.

Our fringe players must be sharp too

If he doesn't cut it soon, it will be a parting of the waves.

[Smirker]

Decent play there, almost from Aly.

[citizenDJ]

Cissokho is doing pretty well as far as I can see. In fact we're doing OK overall really.

Afternoon everybody by the way! And Happy New Year!

[Bad English]

If we score early on we will see lots of "beating the traffic" from the Mackems. They love to flounce off.

[PeterWithesShin]

Sunderland fans sounding very unhappy, although at least they haven't left the ground yet.

[SashasGrandad]

All we are saying

Is give us a goal.

[Risso]

Ah Cissokho how I've missed your crap crossing

[citizenDJ]

You know, it's really early for this of course, but having seen how poor sunderland are at the back I think I would honestly just put Traore on right now.

Steady on. "If we score early..."?

Sunderland are really Shite. We have to win this

What are the odds on a Villa win and Gestede getting the first goal?  Can we perm those bets?
