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

Woeful, fucking woeful. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. Worst, most bang average half baked set of fucking rejects.....and we can't even muster a decent shot on goal. I'm fed up of this shit. Injury problems or nay, this is just unacceptable. They better change this shit around. I hate this team at times.

 

[Plain Speaking]

Seeing as no action was taken against Larsson at the time (apart from the fou being awarded), can't he be hauled up before the FA this week? That's a horrendous tackle.

It wont do us any good though!
Dean has been poor, missed the foul on Milner for the goal.

I am not too worried at this point. Pellegrini will get them together at half-time and organise.

My only two really concerns are Garcia and Milner. Garcia may be playing with a knock (Larsson should have been sent off), mind, but he still looks off the pace.

And I still don't know what Milner brings. Every now and then he does something exceptional but the vast majority of the time he actual does the simple things poorly.

I suppose I also think Richard needs to step up as he has been very lethargic for the first 45 minutes.

All that said, we'll come back, just as we did against CSKA.

Your faith is commendable. If there were gold stars awarded on here, you'd have earned one there!

Ha, I'd like a lolly as well!

In seriousness, though, it is more enjoyable if we all don't go into 28 Days Later mode and try to keep the faith at 1-nil down.

How do we go from playing so well,to turning up at sunderland and looking absolute crap,im beginning to believe in bad luck,curses and jinxes....

Half the XI changed. Not for the better obviously.

 

[SuperYaya]

Joke of a decision from dean however his performance doesnt justify our joke of an effort.

I for one am looking forward to hearing the views of Shears,Didsbury,OB1,Exeter blue should we lose away from home again.

It simply is not good enough.

For all these jokes you seem a lot closer to tears than laughter. Do you have the Samaritans on speed dial just in case?

 

[jollylescott]

Navas has to come on at half time. Garcia off. Don't know what's up with Micah he normally shows some energy. Even he has been sent to sleep by the slow motion stuff.

Come on Pellers sort it out at half time for crying out loud.

 

[zandvoort blue]

for me i`d bring on Zabba for Richards. Give it 5/10 mins then if it doesn`t look like that improves matters then Garcia off for Navas.

 

[Blue Haze]

For the criticism of the starting 11 by Pellegrini.

Says on City_Watch that Fernandinho and Nastasic both failed fitness tests, which is why Garcia and Lescott are starting. Kompany and Silva are known to be out injured.

 

[kippaxchris]

Zabaleta for Micah is the change i'd like to see.

Yh Zabaleta will try in defence we all know that and even though hes not great going forward he wont just stand in Sergios way like Micah has every attack

Not sure that any of these coming on would help much, maybe Navas for Milner but he hasn't exactly set the league on fire since his arrival?
