---Richards--------Albiol-------------Puyol----------Evra

Tactics

Defence stay solid and use experience to tackle the pacy forwards. GK be vocal and marshall the defence. Fullbacks stay in own half all game. CBs mark the striker and play a deep line.

Mulumbu the midfield general. Will intercept and play nice balls for the forwards to run onto. Will stay back all game with the defence.

Robinho, Kaka and Coutinho all will work in tandem with the striker and link up with him well. All speak the same language and are experienced. Robinho to cross and link up with Villa.

Pato to drop in between the lines and creat havoc and link up with Villa. Drop to pick up the ball and use pace to run and make space for runners from midfield.

Villa to run the channels and also in behind their defence. Look for crosses and shoot at sight.

Sunderland tactics for week 2

---------------------Weidenfeller--------------------
Arbeloa-------Dante-------Terry--------Davies
---------------------Pirlo-----Xavi-------------------
Robben--------Thiago Alacantra---------Salah
-----------------------Ibrahimovic--------------------

Subs: Mannone, David Luiz, Brown, Lucas Moura, Townsend, Larrson, Giroud


Tactics: We will be looking for the win today but have to be at our best defensively especially against our opponents who possess Costa and it is important that we dont leave gaps to exploit. Pass and move and give it to the wingers as quick as they can. We wil be very direct but playing it simple.

Defenders: All have to be on their toes and be strong in challenges. Stay of their feet and usher them away from goal. Aggresively strong in the air and set pieces. The full backs will seldomly head forward to support the wingers but this will not happen alot.

Midfieders: Xavi and Pirlo will be sittind deep and dictating the game and it is vital that they look for the attackers as soon as possible so we can exploit their defenders 1v1 against our pace in Robben and Salah. Defensively, the wingers will help out their respective full backs but only one at a time so the other is ready for a quick counter if need be. Thiago will be higher up to Ibra and will try and feed him as much as possible. We want the atackers to run at the defenders and beat them for pace or skill and if they get a yellow, we penetrate them more for a mistake as they will be tentative in their tackles.

Forwards: Ibra plays the lone striker but can and will hold the ball up for the wingers and Thiago. Ibra has the license to shoot at sight. He will always be looking to run beyond the last man as he knows both Pirlo and Xavi have the skill to find him wherever.

Subs:

Thiago off and David Luiz on and plays DM at 70mins

Salah off and Moura on at 65 mins and switch wings with Robben.

-----------------------------Stekelenberg------------------------------
-----Montoya-------Varane---------Koscielny------Richardson------
-------------------Nainggolan--------Matuidi--------------------------
-----Stocker--------------------Ruiz--------------------Shaqiri------
-------------------------------Mitroglou-------------------------------
Subs: Stockdale, Reither, Briggs, Hangeland, Kasami, Dejagah, Bent.

We will look to stifle the game and take the gamer to our opponents. We won't let them have any tie on the ball and we will sit in and close the space and look to hit on the break and score from set pieces. The defenders will stick to their positions and get strong challenges in, keeping it tight. The midfield will work up and down and will both protect the defence on this game and will look to play long balls out wide or over the top on the break. The more attacking trio will move around all the time and they will swap positions to confuse the marking and they will look for plenty of space and crosses and they must use their pace on the break. Our front line will look to break the offside trap, hold the ball up and look to bring others into play whilst using his pace and strength to get in behind and score.

We will be playing a fluid and counter + contain game style. With fluidity, the defenders will be a lot more defensive and will sit deep and the deeper midfielders will contribute to the transition phases as well as the more defensive phase and stifle the midfield area to stop their AMC dictating the game. The attacking trio will contribute to the attacking and transition phases allowing us to really stifle the midfield and block runners from deep and will hit them with great pace on the break. Our forward will only contribute to the attacking phase but he will sit deep when off the ball and he will close down making them knock the ball around at the back.

Defence will stay solid throughout and use their physicality to bully the attackers and play long towards the wide men or Mandzukic.

The midfield will look to supply crosses for Mandzukic, shoot from distance if possible and create openings. N'Zonzi sits in whilst the other 4 charge forward in support and get back to support N'Zonzi.

Mandzukic will look to bully the defenders all day and look to get in between the defenders from crosses and set pieces and knock down for running midfielders as well as being clinical with his heading and finishing.

- Tiote - Sissoko -
- Suarez - Cabaye - Di Natalie -
- Remy -

Subs: Elliot, Collocini, Taylor, S. Taylor, Gauld, Linegard, Shola Ameobi.

Play passing football in the midfield and look to get the front men involved as much as possible in the game to keep them on the back foot throughout.

Defence will stay tight but split when in possession to shift the ball about more and more. Knock it long when under pressure but torture the forward and not give him space.

Midfielders that are deeper will sit in to protect the back 2 and supply the forwards with quality passes. The more advanced midfielders will move constantly and use their qualities to break down the opposition defence.

Remy will look to be on the move all the time, switching with the 3 in behind him all the time to mix up the marking. Clinical in front of goal and play as a Complete Forward.

Ameobi > Remy 80'
