Sunderland away match thread

[SK]

good, now we need to be good in defence and play on counter attacks, put wisdom on for moses and put hendo in central mid, making it more solid, sturidge and luis can play on their own up front. come ooooon!

[Leyton388]

I'm really worried about our midfield this season. We have the players but are struggling. We need another box to box midfielder and Eriksen would have been perfect.

HT thoughts

There is a lot of fat lasses in the crowd

Suarez would be public enemy number one and up for deportation for "arming" the ball in the net

Luis

[I, Ravel Morrison]

Yeah, we haven't been good this half, but I'll take a 2-0 lead going in after the miserable run of results and performances we had.

Eriksen isn't a box to box midfielder.

If Erikson had been perfect for us we would have bought him

Gerrard looks tired, hope he had a kip at HT.

[Marina]

Really hoping we don't **** this up now. Would be all too typical. Come on Liverpool!

[RichC]

Winning 2-0 when not playing well, trait of a good side IMO. I'd love to see us play much better 2nd half but as long as we win I couldn't give two hoots if we don't

Mancs have won like this for 20 odd years

[Daniel 7]

That wasn't so bad, that half. 2-0 up against a team that will have the manager bounce, playing for one of their "club legends"

They started brightly - lets hope the Liverpool legs don't drop off in the second half.

I don't think we have the players.

[Muddled]

I think Moses has had a decent first half - he's put in an industrious performance in both defence and attack.

I do think the Skrtel performance against Man Utd, Sakho signing and Toure playing well has caused Rodgers a mischief; he's trying to accommodate all three and it's impacting our shape in attack. Unless we're really missing Coutinho and a fully functioning midfield.

[RedReet]

I really don't know why I read over these threads.

[I, Ravel Morrison]

Anyone know why Alberto isn't on the bench? We could do with him sometime in the second half for, say, Moses.

Eriksen is an AM, not box to box.
