As a Sunderland supporter i'm surprised at that prediction.
I just think we'll have zero attacking creativity on the day. There's only Sissoko that is capable of that, and who stands a chance of playing tomorrow. Cabaye is no more, Gouffran is out, and Ben Arfa will most likely start on the bench. There's going to be pressure on De Jong straight away to score goals, but I worry where that passage of play is going to come from. I reckon Pardew is likely to play a 4-3-3 on the day, and have Tiote, Anita and Sissoko in centre midfield. All three of which I can see spending 90 minutes behind the ball.
