Match Thread | Sunderland vs. Manchester City (01/01/26)

Need a big, big game from Rodri.

 

[madloaf]

Rodri on.

Never heard of him. Is he any good?

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

so what do we think boys and girls? What’s your gut feeling?

2 nil, City…

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Rodri coming on for Nico G

 

[journolud]

A reminder, we need to win this to keep the league in our hands. This is tougher than I thought. Teams always seem to raise their games against us. look at Forest last week compared to this week.

Thanks for that, hadn't realised

so what do we think boys and girls? What’s your gut feeling?

Late blue winner incoming.

 

[citytill1die84]

Come on Rodders.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Savinho has been easily our best player for me, despite the criticism he's getting.

There’s a bloke stood behind me at the match who has just shouted abuse at Savinho non stop all first half.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Rodri on for Nico... eek.

 

[I'm Blue]

Right let’s be having you!
COME ON CITY!!!

 

[give it to gordon]

Hope Sunderland dont kick the shit out of Rodri

 

[heslops barnet]

Need a big, big game from Rodri.

Nervous for him

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Just plead that Rodri gets through this unscathed, otherwise it could be a long January.

 

[cupsforcockups]

Savinho done ok but carries no goal threat where doku may do

 

[jollylescott]

Come on Rodders

 

[Dodge]

I wouldn't have Rodders anywhere near the pitch. He'll get no protection from the ref and get nobbled. It'll be a relief to get away from there without any big injuries.

Bag the 3 points and get the fuck out of Wearside.

Fuck.

 

[Ryan.98.]

Hope Nico is just a dead leg

 

[jimharri]

If Cherki does not produce, we get no creativity from others . This should have been an easy game for us, considering how many players they are missing

Doesn't work that way. Look at our lovely neighbours last night. Playing possibly the worst ever PL side, they should be sleepwalking to a comfortable win. Or the dips tonight. Even a, on paper, shit side can be difficult to break down if they're well drilled and they all know their jobs. And Sunderland aren't shit.

 

[wolviedinho]

Please let Rodri get through 45 min!!!!

 

[TFC]

Fucking hell, I fear for Rodri's shins here against this dirty fucking shower
