Official Sunderland v Man City Thread

positives?

- we could have won it but we didn't. it was an even game with them being better 2nd half. we could have won it 1st half.

- it mostly came down to our mid not gelling still. it was mostly trying to get the ball forward rather than play the opposition.

- their tactic which was like Spuds first game seems to be our Achilles heel. always seemed to make Micah look poor. i think Mancini would know this now.

- 0-1. still no goals conceded from open play.

- we've got a decent corner taker.

What are you wankers on about?

Bent was 2 fucking yards offside when the cross came in. Apart from that they created nothing!!

We had 3 good chances to score and we didn't, but would have still come away with a point if it wasn't for the fucking corrupt officals!!

It isn't typical City, just typical moaning City fans!!

Milner/Johnson were gash today. Poor tactics.

Mancini outdone by Elephant man - fookin clueless today , lets not mince words
As for Jo coming on well don´t get me started
Mancini clear fave in sack race after that abject 2nd half

Hugely disappointing 2nd half, it all went badly wrong after the break and we ended up losing to a pretty poor side.
Some good stuff in that 1st half though and that shouldn't be forgotten, if Carlos had scored that chance then it would have been game over but these things happen.
Still missing a little creativity and we lost our shape a little too easily for my liking but it's early days, we'll get better

Shocking result.

Shocking second half performance.

We are still some way from being serious contenders.

Sad when Bruce gets a team more up for it than us.

spot on mate

Would have taken a point. Gutted we lost and its ages for the next game

Typical City

93 Elmohamady crosses from the right and Richards is penalised for bundling over Bent. It is a foul but the Sunderland striker was offside. Richards is booked as Bent puts the ball on the penalty spot. from skysports

Am I the only one who thought Malbranque was a yard offside when that cross came in?

yes Richards had him off side shouldnt of shoved him,but the correct decision should of been offside.
too late to put 3 subs on 10 mins to go,bossed the game first half,they made two subs that dealt with that,we needed another striker on.nothing second half from midfield.

Am I the only one who thought Malbranque was a yard offside when that cross came in?

WHO GIVES A FUCK, the fact is they were banging on the door pushing for a winner while we were clinging on and doing FUCK ALL in the other direction. It PISSES me off when I see the top sides pushing for winners in every tight game and committing men forward. We were poncing around in the 91st minute short passes back and sideways when we should have been busting our BOLLOCKS to get the ball in their net. Until the mentality changes we will remain miles behind the rags and Chelsea.

Can't understand why some posters are questioning Tevez's attitude....thought he worked his socks off. Looked a bit jaded though.

Yaya was good first half but he does get wasteful at times.
