2 good halves today.
We are playing the bottom of the table team, I expect no less than two good halves with goals by us on either side.

The 3-5-2 formation suits our player availability perfectly at present. Suarez getting up to speed should also see the chances created in mid-week converted. Sunderland losing Fletcher will lessen any attacking threat they have. The key, as ever; will be motivation and concentration. A fast start will be important.

Seppuku is the ancient art of killing yourself if you get super pissed and can’t find anybody else to kill. Ninjas use all sorts of crap to kill themselves—guns, ropes, knives, lasers, spears, etc.—and don’t even think twice about it. These guys would kill themselves for just about any reason and often for no reason at all: that’s why we there are so few ninjas today.
But if you want to commit Seppuku and you’re like me, you don’t have access to stuff like lasers. But there’s hope. I tried to kill myself by swallowing a frisbee a couple of times—and believe me, it’s pretty cool. The only catch is you have to be really super pissed to do it.
Step 1 Get a frisbee from the store or friend.
Step 2 Clean the Frisbee.
Step 3 Make sure your parents aren’t around
Step 4 Put something slippery on it, like butter or cream.
Step 5 Get really super pissed.
Step 6 Fold the Frisbee hard (this is crucial)
Step 7 Keep folded and insert Frisbee into mouth hard.
Step 8 Push hard until you can’t see it.
Step 9 Wait.
Step 10 Die.
Me too. If Kelly and Enrique are fit I'd go with 4 at the back. Suarez can roam wherever he wants anyway.
Apologies for my absence. I have been busy with my 'blog' - someone kindly offered to make me a new shiny & glossy website for my previews so didn't manage to get on, here is a short extract from the preview.
----------------------------------------
Sunderland played an aggressive game under Di Canio which tried to resemble a 4-2-4 with the 2 widemen pushed up the pitch and let the full backs provide options the middle 3rd of the pitch. Here is the average pitch position vs Southampton when Giaccherini & Johnson played high up the pitch.
However, Sunderland were far far too open under this style of play and Arsenal picked them off for the 1st two goals.
The 2nd goal summed up Di Canio's own thoughts about his midfield "The problem comes when we lose the ball in the middle and we are empty in the middle, there is a big space. We will change a bit now." The lack of protection from midfield is shown below.
Now, expect a change under Kevin Ball. No longer will it be pushing full backs forward to let the wingers go high, it will be 4-5-1 and Lee Cattermole will come into midfield to give more cover. Sunderland will look to tighten up those spaces and stop giving away cheap goals. It may take a while to score if they do start more conservatively BUT Sunderland have conceded the most goals in the 2nd half this season so hopefully Liverpool can get that monkey off our back.

Arsenals opening goal was clinical. However, the above is indicative of the kind of problems Di Canios philosophy let to especially when playing against quality apposition. The center half, Diakite is challenging for the ball almost 20 yards into Arsenals half with no cover from the midfield and only one defender in their half. Ultimately, the ball springs to forward Gibbs who lofts the ball down the line for Ozil and Arsenal take advantage of the space. 1-0 Arsenal.

BR just said he thought the team played great last week, minus their corner defense.
Also, his outfit is...different.

FYPFUS RO DAH!
Ibe is really good. Aspas might be decent. Sterling even now might provide an assist or two. Courage!
Right, should get home for this from windmill farm just in time, thankfully loads of people invited to the party are reds so we all agreed to say on mass at 3 that we should go, worked a treat.
