Sunderland Post Match

Who else is there...??

Depending on fitness we have enough cover in midfield to replace Ya ya.

 

[GeorgeHeslop'sTackle.]

It is going to be close if we show the fight we did tonight . Yes it wasn't pretty but who cares ? Show that fight against Leicester and we will win.

Agreed. Proud of every one of em tonight.

Weren't intimidated by 'fat sam's' usual (deliberate) bully boy tactics, but gave as good as we got, and eventually came out of the 'battle' victorious.

I'm sorry if that isn't good enough for some 'City fans' on here, but it's very difficult to play football, on the ground, when you're perpetually being launched about 5 feet into the air, for the entire 95 minutes. by vertue of your opponent's boots or elbows.

Of course I'd do, I never said I didn't.

He'll work on it with Joe and if he can't adapt he'll be out, simple as that.

It won't be as simple as that with Joe because he is English and we have a quota to fill. And also he is one of the best in the world.

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

Very happy with the result
Not entirely convincing but i,ll take it, playing relegation contenders at this time of the season is never easy

 

[sir baconface]

An important win. I'll have some of that.

 

[SB Blue]

We looked knackered having played two games in the last six days.
They looked fresh having played none.
Great result in the circumstances.

Agree with this, with a few new signings making their debuts they showed a lot more energy than us. Thought we were too lax in midfield and gave away the ball far too often, although we've played a lot better here and lost, so one to chalk down to result being more important than overall performance.

I shuddered a few times at the tackles that the Sunderland players were dishing out - how many injuries have we picked up from that battle?

It was always going to get physical with Allardyce sensing City would be tired. he'll have sent them out with instructions to be very physically competitive but we didn't play well. We should have been better in possession regardless of what Sunderland did

With the number of games we have to play there will be games where we have to grind results out like tonight
Sunderland played 3 games less than us in January including Saturday

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Why on earth did we start with just Yaya and Fernandinho as the only two central midfielders? The three we put out on Saturday would have been perfect for tonight.
