Sunderland Post Match

Obviously played crap but it's all about the points now. We've been poor most of the season & I can't see that magically changing, so as long as we manage to keep picking up the points then I don't really care how.

Hart MOTM.

Well, we wondered how the players would react to the Pep news & the answer was " we don't want to run anymore & can't be arsed"

Are you for f*cking real , there was no lack of effort , Silva had a horrible night but never stopped running as did most of the team .

Was always going to be a hard game tonight given the amount of games we have played and how long the Sunderland players have had to rest since there last game. Those predicting 4/0 were clearly clueless as to the amount of effort our team has put in getting to the Carling cup final and the FA Cup 5th round. Shit performance tonight? Who gives a fuck!! 3 points baby

We got sucked into their 100mph kick and rush game, but overall I thought they barely threatened and throughout the second half I felt we were more likely to score than they were. Not a brilliant performance but a good solid one at the back, and a vital 3 points in a season where too many of those type of games have been draws.

Disappointing that Pellegrini picked Ya Ya for this one. With utter predictability they started running through our midfield in the first half. The formation change at half time eased the problem, and they went route one/channel balls from deep. I thought we stood up to it pretty well and if we were bang on form would have carved them open on the break.

We are coming into a run of results just when it matters most.

Its worth remembering that in addition to the extra games we've played this year Sunderland haven't had a game for ten days. Its an excellent result considering.

Good point regarding how many games we have played. Also didn't realise that Sunderland hadn't played for 10 days.

Great result, shite performance.

LOL Fat Sam saying the reason our players didn't like being elbowed is cos they're foreign. Have another burger Sam.

So he admits they were elbowed?!?!

Retrospective action in that case... although that's no use to us now

I thought both centre halves, the Ferns, Joe and Kun can hold their heads up after that, I would like to see a lot more from the others though. We looked like the relegation threatened side today, some of our passing was dismal.

At 89 mins my missus walks in and says 'are you winning?' Anyone who knows the unwritten rules of football knows that usually means a last min equaliser from the opposition, especially away at Sunderland.

To win 0-1 away at Sunderland, midweek, in a game like that should not be underestimated.

A lack of fitness or not, everything Silva touches at present turns to mush.

He is gifting cheap possession and has become something of a liability, if there can be such a thing when it comes to my favourite ever City player.

Time to start talking Leicester up as title contenders, had a free ride until now when it comes to playing without pressure.

They will find out what it's all about this Saturday.

Personally thought he played well compared to his last few games. Navas and Toure(2nd half) gave the ball away far more.
