Sunderland v Dons.

Not sure if this has been quoted already but... What were you saying?

 

Well done on the 4-2 win fellas

 

It was dreadful mate.

 

Well done to my heart ACS!
Bloody thing is going to burst whilst PDC is here.


By the by Ji was getting stick for their goal if he lost the ball he lost it in their half and they walked through the whole of our midfield and defence thats like saying if he had a shot the keeper saved it and they came back down the pitch and scored it would still have been Ji's fault.
Their second was a bad mistake by Cabral in our half.

 

breaking my heart to say it but this is correct

 

"I am very, very happy for 15 minutes, but I am very, very angry for 75, so the balance is not very good." - Di Canio post match, nicely sums up my evening at the SOL.

For 75 minutes we were ****ing awful, no composure, unable to keep hold of the ball for more than a couple of passes before giving it back to MKD. Ji was a waste of a shirt and Cabral just ran around like a headless chicken. We desperately need at least one, if not two central midfielders plus the rehabilitation of Cattermole. He is much maligned but Larsson coming on gave us a lot more solidity and then our superior fitness levels did the rest. Roll on Crystal Palace, will be interesting to see how they react to getting baet by Bristol City tonight

 

Think you're missing Vaughan from that damning report. He just wasn't getting across the pitch anywhere near fast enough to give the wide players an in field option, he and Cabral just didn't cut it. It was like playing our way round a horseshoe pitch.

Things got a hell of alot better when we started putting the ball into Jozy's and Connor's feet. Jozy clearly hates the ball in the air. We need to dispel this myth that big tall strikers want it on their noggin. Cough Cough JoS

 

But it's still a win. On you go now.

 

Aye if we learn from our misgivings.

 

Got a few of them about Mannone after that showing mate.
I thought their first goal was a deflection caught him off guard.
It was dreadful keeping.
Their second he went down far to early and I could have scored it.

 

Aye but look at it this way Bri. Played 3 games and played very poorly in the last 2 of them but never lost either. Furthermore, to score 4 in the last 13 minutes the fitness work must have paid off. In fact I can't ever remember them scoring 4 in the last 13 minutes. OH PS As Albert's chip shop is on here tonight I would just like to point out the nags are the first team in premiership history to not score any goals at all in 4 consecutive home games 0-3 vs Sunderland 0-6 vs Liverpool 0-1vs Arsenal 0-0 vs West Ham. Do you not think it shows great character to play **** for so long then come back like that (erm, ala, Manchester United). Not comparing Sunderland to Man Utd but you see the point?

 

What about the scums comeback from 4-0 down against Arsenal?

 

Was sat just behind Paolo so I think I had the worst seat in the house to judge a keepers positioning. Was he really that all over the place?

I'm always optimistic mate. We're three games into a long season. It's all good.

 

Bloody hell. Is that true? First team in Prem history not to score in four home games? Even in the deepest depths we have suffered we ain't had that.
Great stat nomore.

 

EH What about it?

 

Well its definitely not dull under Di Canio. Anything could happen.

 

Watched them a couple of times now on SSN.

His positioning for their first was dreadful, on first watch I thought for him to be so far from the ball it was a deflection. No deflection and as far as I could tell he wasn't unsighted.

 

They were **** and came back.
Was the last time Tiote looked like a footballer.

 

Yes it's true Cyprus. It was a mag who told me after he got off the bus on Saturday. I asked him what their game was like and he told me that. I do think they might score at home to Fulham this week though tbh.

 

Oh I see. I was just referring more to the fact that I can't remember Sunderland ever scoring 4 in 13 minutes. I tried to forget that comeback of theirs.
