We've kept the same base of Howard, Coleman, Baines, Stones, Distin, Barry, McCarthy then Lukaku up top so actually only the 3 advanced midfield roles have been rotated.
Brilliant today... next 3 are massive now, once again all winnable but all big challenges for different reasons. I don't want to get carried away but win all 3 and we may not only be talking about 4th.
There are hundreds that could be in it - people could make an argument for the likes of Robben, Schweinstieger, Buffon, Villa... it's never ending really.
To me world class is a player that would get into any team in the world - I don't think this is applicable to Rooney currently but there certainly was a time when he could have been put in this bracket.
A feature of our holding centre mids is covering the full-back positions (especially Barry) - when his legs have gone a little and he can't get up and down the flank as he does then this will be an excellent option for him to still be useful to us.
A lot of players can play in a defensive midfield role and full-back - this is not a new concept at all... love Roberto coming out and saying this though.
Any ideas or links (local supporter coaches) for me and a mate traveling up from the midlands area to Sunderland.
We may drive it and stay in Newcastle but he may have to be back on the Saturday night so assessing other options.
Ta.

Was wondering how long it would be before we were linked to this chap. Looks brilliant though (and affordable!)
