Sunderland match thread

[frank the tank]

To be honest.....(I hope I'm ****in wrong) but I think with us it will be a case of first goal wins the majority or the time......we have no plan b.....

[Leyton388]

This is relegation form and is a massive worry as it is not like we have been unlucky we have been completely incompetent all over the pitch since the season started.

[Gibbo]

He getting us relegated and they wont sack him, of course they will.

If i was a betting man i'd put money on:

We won't get relegated though.

[JohnDoe]

can someone explain to me why the **** Borini is played wide right?

Because it doesn't matter, he's **** wherever he's played.

[Imy]

Can we put talk of relegation and sacking the managed to one side and talk about the football just once?

this football is going to lead to the relegation zone and inevitable sacking.

[Exiled_red]

You can't even see where our next goal is going to come from let alone our first win. We have nothing as an attacking team.

In the first 30 mins we were dominant in terms of possession, we just are abysmal in the final third, this is the worst attacking Liverpool side I can remember. We're totally toothless up front and we never look like scoring

[john316]

Can't wait to see Van Persie and co utterly smack the living **** out of us next weekend....

[Gibbo]

can someone explain to me why the **** Borini is played wide right?

He's down the middle today, Sterling right Suarez left

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

We just seem to be strolling around, pulling out of tackles and not tracking anyone when we mess up. Its like a training match when nobody can really be arsed.

Johnson has been really poor today.. Kelly just kills us when he gives Sterling the ball and offers no run or angle for a return.

Borini I actually think has shown a better touch and could of had a goal, think he's been decent without doing anything special.

Shelvey looks like he's playing injured, just very heavy on his feet today.

Every time the opponents score a goal, it's from a Gerrard give away

[Kenneth]

Gerrards got two very young lads in there with him. Shelvey and allen are young lads and one thing hes never been good at is looking after others on the pitch. Hes the one that needs looking after and indulged. Instead hes having to play within himself with restrictions because hes got to look after others.

Alonso hamann mascherano mcallister all took turns to babysit him and in this game hes got no one.

He's not baby sitting really though. He's being outclassed by shelvey and allen this season. He's not doing the basics very well which I don't think cam be attributed to the players along side him.

[Gibbo]

Can't wait to see Van Persie and co utterly smack the living **** out of us next weekend....

We will probably win, the players would be arsed.

[Imy]

We won't get relegated though.

says who?
We're conceding at will and not scoring (or even looking like scoring).

[Exiled_red]

If we lose this it's our worst start to a season since 1903 apparently

[destinydude]

Please, for the love of god, sell Suarez and get a ****ing striker who's more interested in scoring than ****ing dribbling just for the sake of it. I'm fed up with him and his pointless dribbles.

And it's been ages since we came from behind to win a game. not expecting it to happen today either.
