Tony Mowbray hints at future Sunderland formation change to maximise attacking assets
TONY MOWBRAY is willing to be flexible in order to get the best out of Sunderland’s attacking options this season.
Having spent most of last season operating without a natural centre-forward, the Black Cats brought in three new strikers this summer, with Mason Burstow joining on a season-long loan from Chelsea, Luis Hemir moving to Wearside from Benfica and Nazariy Rusyn making a deadline-day switch from Zorya Luhansk.
Burstow has rapidly established himself as Sunderland’s first-choice forward, and after impressing in Friday’s 3-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday, the youngster is set to keep his place in the starting line-up for Wednesday’s home game with Watford.
