Will tonight be the night we start to see more of a "1st choice" 11 develop, rather than just "minutes in legs 11"

The club media have been very forward in talking about minutes in the legs

The Vallecano and Berlin games will see what ONeil is planning for Sunderland. But I’d still expect to see a very strong starting 11 tonight

Think it was said they might not be ready for start of season ? Or maybe that was Walton

Neither expected to participate in the friendlies. Suspect they're being kept away from competitive contact whilst recuperating from their operations - restrict them to training ground only activity. O'Neil said they may be available for the season opener.

Minutes in as many legs as possible by the sounds of it with a different team each half.

That line up is fine for a friendly.

5 new signings required. The team suggested would get battered in the PL.

Hope not, otherwise we are in for a tonking every game this season. We only have 4 new outfield signings. We need another 6-8 players to come in as yet.

I admit that is as strong as we can go but to see what that central midfield looks like will be scary. They would not typically start a championship game. Both good on the ball both typically quite weak off it without a chaperone destroyer it lacks bite. I wonder whether we persist with the 4141 meaning one is deeper and one gets up the pitch into a 4 man midfield or whether we are at more conventional 4231 stage.

I'm probably biased because I like him.

But isn't Jack Clarke likely to be annoyed if Maeda just waltzes into the team ahead of him. Jack Clarke was on paper probably one of our best if not the best player in the team last season.

And yet, everyone seems sold that Maeda is an upgrade on him on here. And Jack Clarke gets effectively relegated to the B team to play Oxford instead of Wycombe (with worse players around him). Just not entirely sure that's fair. Maybe he hasn't done much to impress O'Neil?

Can we judge Maeda after he's played a few games for us first please?
