If we had actually played well yesterday at any point, then I'd be inclined to feel aggrieved with the decision. We didn't. Even without that goal, I think Sunderland would have gone on to win anyway. We were gash throughout.

Please explain. Do you mean due to all the other goals that they didn't score yesterday?

Cute. If they hadn't scored then, it would have been a different game (without us chasing and them playing on the counterattack). I believe we would have sat back, and just waited to get beat. Bent and Jones would have had different chances and probably would have scored one of them.
Obviously, it could have gone the other way and we could have nicked a goal and held on. But with Kuyt leading the line from our own penalty area, I think the former rather the latter was the more likelier outcome.
