i would be tempted to play richards and clichy in every single pl game from now on until the league is won or lost, the system needs quick fullbacks
This!
Lose today but win on Tuesday is illogical, win today rest on Tuesday and have longer to beat the rag twats with rested players makes more sense, but for me win them both go six points clear and put them right under pressure when they come to us is what I wanted, but hey you can't have it all.Bluemanc100 said:Burtonblue said:i8rags said:Ffs, who picks the players, the first half was borderline shite, the second half improved somewhat with the the players bob swapped.

I suppose you think it's reasonable to send our first 11 out today, tuesday against liverpool and saturday against the rags?!
As someone involved with football at league level I can assure you that players will not sustain that level of physical demand without a high likelyhood of getting injured, hence the importance of squad rotation and why we will probably end winning the league, as we do have the deepest squad.
Truth is today was our easiest game of the coming month, and the players sent out at the start were plenty good enough to win us the game. Despite not playing at their best, enough chances were created to win the game, they just weren't converted.
To blame the manager for that is easy but plain wrong in my opinion. It's the players who missed the chances.
+1 for those comments..... we have to hope that the "typical City" mantle is a thing of the past and this will make the desire to win stronger.
At least the dippers will come at us Tuesday and let us play

The side today created easily enough to win the game - just failed to convert chances and lost to a last minute OFFSIDE sucker punch goal.
Blame players, not the manager.

lol, says the Sunderland fan.
It was quite clearly offside. Enjoy the win, as lucky as it was
