Neil Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 He should start having more faith in the left footed creative player we have who has pace and the ability to unlock defences, who he likes to play from the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 They seem to be taking a silver lining out of it in that if Everton can so comprehensively beat Pennywell Barcelona then they'll definitely overtake us for 6th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 To be fair it still does surprise me how much you spent on Fellaini. Very good player, but fucking hell. Everton spending £15m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the rest of them are so encamped in the 'FA cup is more important than the league' opinion (driven by them bing in it, us being out if it and us ahead in the league) that the last 8 games mean nowt, doesn't matter where they finish.

Stifler Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 They seem to be taking a silver lining out of it in that if Everton can so comprehensively beat Pennywell Barcelona then they'll definitely overtake us for 6th. Really, with us 10 points ahead with only 8 games to play and having 3-4 very winnable games and on our day being able to give anyone a game? You would have thought that they would had more confidence in themselves being able to overtake us since they are closer to us than Everton are in the league.

It was a bit of a shock. Deadline day, and there's a late megabucks signing right on the stroke of midnight!

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Would love to see their season fizzle out now with little to play for, and end up finishing bottom half. It'd essentially show little signs of improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be tragic to throw it away, especially with their next two games, realistically they've got 6 games and if they win each one 3 wins for us and were done.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I think we'll be alright for 6th, I think some of Sunderland's drive will be lost now, can see them slipping down the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Liverpool game for me is key to us finishing 6th, certainly we should ok for 7th but if we lose on Sunday then Liverpool have a pretty good run in while we still have 3 games that I wouldn't expect anything from.

Shak Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Aren't Liverpool irrelevant to us in terms of the league? If they finish 6th and we finish 7th don't we still make the Europa League as long as Everton don't make the cup final? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Fellaini and Osman, on their day, can win us matches. No doubt about that. They dominated the midfield last night - Osman in particular made their players look like fools on a number of occasions. Fellaini just dominated like the beast he is. Cahill gave his best performance of the season IMO and Jelavic was tremendous up front, despite missing a one on one. This was all without Pienaar and Drenthe, too. You see performances like that and you wonder how we can play so shit for such long chunks of the season, year after year. It's bloody frustrating because we have the players available to play some very nice football, as shown last night. If only you could play Sunderland every week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=686978 Patience of saints StHT. Saw a few lads leaving at half time. I left on 90 for the first time this season as my son was crying. If we'd stayed I'd have started too Probably less to do with the football and more to do with the bloke standing next to them that was selling lollypops and sticking his finger up the kids arse.

It's bloody frustrating because we have the players available to play some very nice football, as shown last night. Fellaini was the best player over the two legs, Osman MOTM by far last night, really impressive. Didn't Wilshere liken him to Iniesta? Ok so he's not quite as good but I can see the comparison. TBF, your whole team looked quality. Heitinga and Distin were rock solid in both games, your midfield was decent, they dominated and now you've added a goalscorer. I even thought Gibson was alright, which is strange as I always thought he was a long shot specialist and nowt more at Man U. Bit like one of the mackems last night Gueye was impressive and all. Him and Velios tore our reserves apart a while back and looked good on the highlights. Always had a soft spot for Everton due to one of my closest mates supporting them and maybe to do with the fact they have been trolling sunderland since 2001. Shame I now want liverpool to win the semi can't believe there will be two games, barring sunderland where I want liverpool to actually win How have we got ourselves into this situation!

brummie Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Can't wait for O'Neil to set the transfer window alight man. You just know he'd waste half of the budget on some limited huge fucks to play in defence (even though they have plenty of cover there) and the other half on Kevin Davies and Cameron Jerome or some other hopeless wasters. The thing for Sunderland fans to be worried about is that he needs to buy strikers, and he's fucking disastrous at spotting them. When we were needing goals to push on and try to break the top four, his idea of striker purchases was Marlon Fucking Harewood, and then Emile Fucking Heskey. The only reason he got Carew in (who did well) was because Lyon rang up and offered him for Baros. I absolutely guarantee you, he'll sign some really shite UK based striker (doesn't shop abroad - bought about 30 players at Villa, 2 of whom were playing outside the UK, one of those was a rookie keeper, and the other was Carew), and the Sunderland fans will start back tracking along the lines of "well, Harewood has been shit everywhere else, but I only really care what he does in a Sunderland shirt". I also flag up now the availability of Emile Shitting Heskey on a free transfer this summer. If I were a Sunderland fan, I wouldn't be excited about the transfer window, I'd be shitting my pants.

Guest johnson293 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 He he, nice to see the standard Mackem response today is 'well at least we got further than Newcastle' or 'Who did Newcastle play last night?' Because of course, that's what really matters when both clubs are knocked out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
