Sunderland V Liverpool - Official Match Thread

[themn]

Are we playing with 10 or 9 men or something ? - All I keep hearing on the radio for the most is that the ball is with Sterling.

Surely Sterling is, errrrm....one man ?

 

[Shadey]

fuck off o'neil

 

[FreshRed]

Allen has turned it on in the 2nd half. Well done.

 

[Shadey]

1911 was the last time we failed win any of our first four opening games.. *opens the gin*

 

[moron]

Surely Sterling is, errrrm....one man ?

Yes I know - it seems like whoever the others are on the pitch, anything good and hopefull seems to be all from Sterling's name being mentioned.

 

[LadyRed]

Well, at least we didn't lose

 

[Buddha]

I'd be fucking embarassed if I was O'Neill setting a team up like that at home.

 

[moron]

yes - we got a point !!! - I was expecting nothing.

 

[Hansern]

Great display in the 2nd half, shame that we couldnt get the 3 points but a step in the right direction.

Motm Sterling

 

[Shadey]

17th here we come

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Decent result against a team 9 places above us.

Yeah....but....you said...

You know what ? Forget it.
I'm in a good mood.

We've shown a ton of good today. I wish Assaidi or Yesil would have been brought on instead of Downing. Shelvey had a poor game overall but had his moments of brill. Looked like a 4-2-3-1 today. YNWA

 

[Modo]

Why did he have to bring on Downing?

 

[Red_Water]

We were good today. Unfortunate no to get all 3 today.

4th game in a row where shite defending has cost us.

 

[MaBigTip]

Why did he have to bring on Downing?

I don't know. We didn't need a LB playing RW.

 

[dmishra]

Assaidi - the next Diomede.

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Didn't think we'd get anything today.
We played pretty well, next week will be fun!

Absolutely RA. We deserved all 3 points and had a good game.
We failed where it matters - execution. But the team has a shape and I hope execution will get better.

One comment - Downing is a very mediocre player. I really can't see what he brings to the team. Johnson at LW is much better and I'd play him there when Enrique is back at LB. Oh and Johnson is not agood defender.

It will come good

 

[furyoo]

So... Are we out of relegation?

 

[gkmacca]

Well, they played some decent stuff at times but Sunderland were really, really, poor and should have been beaten easily.

Allegedly chants at the UTD game today, you guess the subject matter!

 

[Tal]

So... Are we out of relegation?

Yes, but Reading, two places below us, have 2 games in hand, starting tomorrow at home to Spurs.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

"All the games we've played better than the results have shown".

Great.

 

[doctor_mac]

True though.​

 

[Hansern]

Well, they played some decent stuff at times but Sunderland were really, really, poor and should have been beaten easily.

They looked poor because we played well though. Not good enough that we cant get the second goal, but a step in the right direction. Right Balance, creating chances and in controll for most of the game.
Improvement.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Craig Burley seems to genuinely believe his opinion is of huge importance to football.

 

[LadyRed]

Lots of positives again today, the obvious problem is our lack of striker. But it's okay, it will come, I believe in Brendan

 

[gkmacca]

They looked poor because we played well though.

Oh come on mate, don't insult our intelligence, that's just nonsense.
