Sunderland.

Lucas has been solid (unlucky with a couple of fouls given)
Gerrard's strolling through the game.
Moses is playing out of position - and it shows.
Henderson giving 110% but woefully exposed as wingback - Johnson will be a huge improvement there.
Suarez needs games.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Moses needs to erlease the ball a bit quicker at times ...

Sakho has held his own against Altidore who has really impressed me with his hold up play.

 

[gkmacca]

That's a side that only needs a bit of fine tuning at HT. Poor so far but much of the the actual play was promising enough. They just need to be more disciplined and incisive.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

We've probably been second best in everything but what counts the most.

 

[Dreambeliever]

No, we haven't played consistently even with him on the pitch. I do think our approach has changed to some extent as well.

I agree with the pundit on US TV who has quite charitably said that when Moses is pushed inside in this formation "he gets confused."

We did til he got tired in each game

 

[RedZeppelin III]

i still don't get our formation with henderson so far out on the right . Ok you could say it's because toure won't get as far forward as enrique but he was in that position when johnson was fit also .

And why is moses in a central position , he's shit there . He's probably average overall but at least the one time he started from wide he nearly made something happen.

and fuck bar the suarez goal we've played some shite football but we're 2 up away at half time so i guess nothing else matters .

 

[juniormember]

I guess his 'I'm sorry for being a garrulous and mercenary twat' t-shirt got lost on the coach, the toothy guttersnipe.

Hahaha.
Come on mate, he's got us 2-0 up at a very crucial stage. Forgive the thick, biting, racist buck toothed cunt.

I definitely think he helps, but I don't think he fixes the various problems in our side, it's fundamentally imbalanced with Henderson on the right, and our central midfield is underwhelming and has been for years.

 

[jexykrodic]

Howard Webb has been desperately unlucky not to have an assist.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I'm happy to have Suarez back. The best player in the league is starting for us now, and top 4 is defo doable.

 

[gkmacca]

Hahaha.

He's worse than a bloody politician with his 'I have a family' shite. Enough already!

 

[Frogfish]

Well it may be that Moses is being played out of position but you are all being very harsh. He runs at defenders and panics them .. twice he has had FOUR defenders around him and got the ball away once, how much space does that create ? He also carried the ball forward well .. something others in the team need to emulate. IMHO one of our better players in that half.

Positionally swapping Henderson with Moses will improve both.

 

[ClassicGirl14]

When I was choosing a team to like, Chelsea was my other choice. God, I would have been insufferable.

 

[ClassicGirl14]

That had nothing to do with anything, by the way. Just a random thought.

 

[Whirly]

If we want to play 3-5-2, we need more dynamic midfielders. Think Marchisio, Vidal types at Juventus which make the formation work.

😱😱😱

I think when's back Henderson will either be dropped or take a central position with Moses going out there. And Coutinho or Suarez on the left which will give us balance on both sides

 

[ClassicGirl14]

😱😱😱

I'm a Yank - I didn't know anything about football! 🙂

 

[Markeh]

should've hit that better Suarez or played it to Kolo

 

[Farkmaster]

It's looking like last half may have been the shit half, I hope so?

What's that Suarez chant they are singing?

 

[James]

@glen_johnson: Got to be happy with 2 nil at half time. First goal maybe handball but even still it would only even out the beach ball incident #3PointsPlz

 

[ClassicGirl14]

Brendan needs a stylist, because this is not 1960s Vegas.

 

[Der Alte]

What's that Suarez chant they are singing?

Was wondering the same. My guess would be 'Luis Suarez, he bites when he wants'.

Anyhow, I can see Webb giving them a soft pen today.

 

[dee]

1-2

🙁

 

[FoxForceFive]

Fucking hell. We're shit.

 

[Markeh]

and thats what he was being criticised for the other day, pushing the ball out in front of him

 

[Der Alte]

Shit from Ming.

 

[dee]

Nearly got one straight back. Hendo's pass just too far in front of Moses

 

[Farkmaster]

Poor from Mignolet.

Looks like there will be space for us on the counter, but I hope we don't keep inviting pressure onto us.
