This 100%, Sunderland are aggressive offensively and direct but they are also just like us and are weak at the back when under pressure, if we get into a gun hoe game it could be quite entertaining I.e. something like 3-3.we should not be scared going to SOS on Saturday. They are not Man City like some of here seem to think
Any player currently available at the club who is or isn't a natural fullback will have there work to do but Tommy being an experienced pro I expect him to do his job, yes in a foot race Clarke will beat him but there is more than one way to skin a cat just have to be careful with bookings.
Left hand side is fair game, RVDB has done well, Bangura only played a 60/70 minutes I think so to early to judge and engel seemed to get the monkey off his back on Tuesday still has work to do defensively but he can play and has decent delivery as a team our defensive structure needs to be on point, I think Carrick will not change a winning team unless he feels its absolutely necessary.
Sunderland are a good team but on paper IMO there squad is not better than ours and we should not fear them, play our game, use the ball and we will get something from it, I believe we can win but we have to turn up.
