Match Thread | Sunderland vs Man City (10/11/13)

[blue b4 the moon]

Not really surprising playing Kolarov, Garcia, Lescott and Milner on the wing spells trouble.

None of those four are good enough.

Usual poor away stuff. We need a bollocking.

I'm confident things will change 2nd half. The only negative for me is fucking Quinn eulogising about Sunderland every time
they pass to each other. Be nice to have an impartial pundit one week.

worst half this season, hope pellegrini has a hairdryer in his locker

 

[gorton guvnor]

That's the longest pre match warm up ever. What times kick off! Fucking shocking

 

[Rammy Blue]

The performance is not surprising especially when you have the likes of Lescott, Garcia, Milner, and Richards and Kolarov coming in for our more technical players...

This this this this this. How the fuck can professional managers not see this it's so bloody obvious.

I said it in the pre-match thread, we were always going to struggle as can't retain possession and no pace.

Everyone calling for subs to be made, can we sub Pellers ?

 

[Jumanji]

Very stiff looking City team, not very mobile.

Almost always looked a bit static without Dave.

Fernandinho's absence has exacerbated this.

I'd put Navas on for Garcia as an early sub.

 

[NQCitizen]

I do love the random Garcia hate. Quite how it's our holding midfielders fault that the front 5 have done nothing is beyond me, but then again, I guess that's what being a scapegoat is all about

Barely anything bad happens that isn't Garcia's fault on bluemoon.

 

[NipHolmes]

As for the goal, it was offside and a foul. Poor defending by DeMichellis and Pantimilon should have done better.

Not a goal though.

 

[carlos tevez is a blue]

Put dzeko on and throw everything in the box

We would give a lot of free kicks away.
