Hold up, I was crucified for that same comment weeks ago. Don't know why. He's not going to play for us again, same as Tiote, so surely it's logical to listen to any sensible offers for them (anything over £3m for Tiote and £20m for Sissoko imo) to get them off the wage bill (they'll be on over 100k a week combined) and strengthen the team in the areas we need to with the cash. The current situation regarding the pair of them suits nobody. Couldn't put it any better I fully agree. I said that ages ago but was ridiculed for wanting to give our players away for nothing. We should of took a fair price for them both ages ago and could of strengthened where we need and had the players in and ready for the start of the season. Do you have to mention the criticism you took in every fucking post?

Bolasie is way better than Townsend IMO

I don't think Sissoko is a winger but of course it's easier to be a winger when your are playing under a better manager. You can get on the ball in better areas without the need to run past about 3 players to get to the byline like Sissoko has for most of his time here

The teams performance and effort dictate the atmosphere in games. Can't blame the fans if the performance isn't there

Poor Willy

Oh, you're 'ard

Won't have to worry about it for a while anyway

Gini centre mid

That team is shit. Hilarious old man Rooney is going to keep Mkhitaryan out of the team

Aye, it's not like we put 5 past Spurs, 2 past Liverpool and had a couple of chances to win, and were unlucky not to win against Man City. The Spurs game is completely irrelevant, Liverpool should've been beating us by about 5 at half time and completely collapsed which we did well to come back from in fairness, don't remember the City game

During the unbeaten run we still weren't great going forward iirc, Spurs aside, we just started defending well and Townsend scored a few screamers

He isn't by a distance worse than Anita. They are both worse than shit. He's shit like, just in terms of performances and results it doesn't actually seem to matter whether he plays or not

So, no then?

Any evidence to back that up?

Not like it actually makes a difference if he plays or not

Christ

They are leading and all that, but seems odd for me to say he is an attacking coach. They are keeping the ball 85% of the time, still have very few chances. Of course Mackems have had no chances, but it's just the difference in skill. City can keep the ball the rest of the game without giving Sunderland a chance and without trying to score. Some say that's beautiful, I say it's boring. They have the skill to hammer these 3 or 4 nil. Mackems had the best chance of the game

Sunderland should be level

People don't watch his teams much are going to think it's crazy He's an amazing coach from a tactical point of view, doesn't always come off but he does things which are so advanced. Best coach in the world. Always said this. Only downside is he refuses to play defensive football which sometimes is needed. He's very good obviously but has never proven anything with a team with less talented players than the opposition After what he did at Barcelona can you tell me why he should? I didn't say he should, just the jury is out and probably will always be out whether he could make a team with less resources and less talented players overachieve

City haven't created much here

This is gonna be a hammering

Its Big Mick's time

"Fickle" is such a crap word when it comes to football. You should be fickle when watching football, if you aren't you're just being blindly faithful in the face of evidence. I still think Rafa will get it right eventually though and we'll get promoted

Was only listening but everything we did in the 2nd half going forward seemed to go through him
