AY

First Papiss and now Ginger Jack? WTF IS THIS?

Agree on Cisse, but Tiote is everywhere again

Cheick has been magnificent again.. Really is everywhere..

There are a lot of great centrebacks who are not excellent in the air and are still top class defenders. Mbemba has the physical side and makes a lot of great tackles. IMO he has a bright future. People tend to forget how shit our back 4 is and how much it has changed during this season.

Sunderland are well organised like. They just have nothing going forward.

Janmaat is so shit and has a crap attitude..

He has the physical side, but the movement off the ball needs to improve. And of course it will. Interesting to see where he ends up.

True. Still think we should score more than something like 1 goal a season from set pieces.

When was the last time we were dangerous from set pieces? Cabayes free kicks? Sunderlands free kicks were almost every time whipped in to dangerous area. How fking difficult it is to have someone but in a decent delivery? Hopefully Rafa can sort this out too, its one of the things you can change quickly and it's a lot easier to score from a set penis.

Yea SDJ could help with this. And both Gini and Siem are intelligent players so should be able to find those pockets of space between lines. Just if we had a striker with a clever movement..

Still can't understand why people say "put him CM". He switches off way too often and doesn't follow his man. You can do that sometimes when playing as a winger, but its suicidal for CM. He just lacks the football brain and discipline.

Dunno if posted already but interesting stat regarding Shelvey and no 10 players. Havent checked this out btw. Gylfi when playing with Shelvey: 13 games, 2g 1a Without Shelvey: 18 games, 7g 2a Wijnaldum with Shelvey: 9 games, 1g 2a Without Shelvey: 21 games, 8g 3a

Give your head a shake man for f***s sake and stop making excuses for this heap of s*** regarding his age. Just look at Lukaku who's only a year older and light years ahead He's not a premier league striker in a million years. To be honest I'd give passion and take my shirt off and run around if I scored against them, doesn't detract from the point I'd be s**** for 99% of the game Well this is an interesting post. Like I said, target men usually dont peak at 20-25. Mitro will get a lot better and hopefully will be played with Perez from now on. Lukaku is an exceptional talent. Players like Sir Les, Drogba and Sheringham were a lot worse at that age. So you can give your head a shake. Not good enough on his own, but he shouldnt be our no 1 striker atm.

De jong has been so poor he again brought nothing to the game. But 2nd half was a big improvement so team talk and tactics change worked at least.

He is not good enough at the moment, but people tend to forget his age. Can't think many target men who are already at their best at 22. He is going to get a lot better and he just needs someone to challenge him for the strikers place. Maybe Cisse being fit again changes this.

Walcott Ali Barkley Sterling surely someone has to know how to defend also?

We really should be looking to go unbeaten at home from now on. City might have nothing to play for, like Spurs. Ofc lose against Mackems and its over IMO.

Pellegrini - Pep? Also LvG seems like a dead man walking. Jose or someone coming in surely

Cant really understand this league. Must be so boring for smaller teams getting beat 8-1, 7-1 and 6-0 by Barca and Real. Then people are wanking over Ronaldo and Messi scoring 500 million goals a season.

If Dummett has an injury, surely Colback LB and bring on attacking player at this point?

what a goal by Ramsey. Fantastic back heel

Biggest NLD ever probably

Kone just hoofs it up aimlessly every single time. Boring boring...

Beautiful goals. Just dont see the need for pass pen. Just put it in, dont know why the need to humiliate when its not actually a big derby or old rival.

We are too naiive away from home. Trying to pass it too much playing high line. Again, very self-destructive with Willian, Pedro and Costa running behind. Just stick 2 banks of 4 and keep it tight, frustrate the opposition. Now when we lose the ball we are so open its ridicilous.
