Just back in, IMO I can totally understand and agree with Rafa's tactics. Even 1-0 down we could of still nicked an equaliser. A lot of fans were desperate for us to press and have a go at City. Thing is some of the best teams in the league have tried and failed doing that...

Ridiculous to expect fans to create an atmosphere watching that. I think they've actually been good. Any time we've got the ball or pressed, the fans have got involved I didn't mean it was a bad atmosphere more of an angry, expecting us to be 'having a go' atmosphere..

Totally agree can’t see why others can’t see this If it was 0-0 at half time would you still be saying this? Rafa obviously had a plan, unfortunately it didn't work. Let's see what the 2nd half brings.

Atmosphere is stinking at the game. FIFA has fucked people's knowledge of the game..

fair comment.

I would of liked to see Mitro coming on yesterday BUT.. I'm not sure what he would have offered? He cant hold the ball up, doesn't look like the best finisher, rarely tracks back or hounds defenders and to be fair there was not many balls going into the box.. Like I say I would have brought him on but I can sort of understand why Rafa didn't.

Smooth..

I know Ashley hasn't been great here, but to be fair we did get a free memorable booklet and season ticket wallet this year.. Careful what you wish for..

Anyone moaning about this needs to give their heads a good shake. Fantastic effort from all involved kept up the very good work! I actually get excited about going to the match now.

Thought the atmosphere was superb Yesterday. Even in the family enclosure it was very loud with everyone singing and clapping. Really feels like everyone is buying into the 'rafalution' at the moment.

Fuck it, I think he has been good this season. His distribution is getting loads better (obviously down to Rafa)

What a cracking message!! Well done to all involved.

The best thing to happen to this club.

Done.

Nothing we can do will get this cancer out of our club.. :'(

Sell Gayle, get rid of Rafa normal business resumed..

Sunderland

Very professional, well organised and nice to watch. 3 goals.. Is this real life??

I agree with this. Fucking hate this stupid formation. If we had Hazard or Silva it would be fine, but we haven't, so change it ffs. Aye, use something different until you have the right players. Fair Comment.

We still playing 1 upfront??

Cheers ears!

Where does Rafa rule out the strikers please??

Who's quote is it? Sorry, from Rafa apparently? It's in the mirror

Has this already been posted?? “He (James McCarthy) is a good player but we now have a lot of them at this club. “We have been linked with around 100 players but he is not our first target at the moment.”
