LucaAltieri Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 They're still having trouble scoring. Today they picked up a 1-0 win via a penalty. Unless they do something about their attacking options in January then they're still down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnaround. And in that time have scored 1 goal. 0-0, 0-0, 1-0(pen). I still say they're fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 To be fair to the mackems they've always been decent against 10 men, unfortunately for them most weeks they'll have to play 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 No way are these going down, imo. I know they're only beating the top clubs but the fact they're within touching distance with those upcoming fixtures is great for them. They'll beat Cardiff too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 what is the opinion of the pen/sending off? looked like a pile of shit to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 From what I saw, it was definitely a penalty but Everton were still the better team with 10 men. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 what is the opinion of the pen/sending off? looked like a pile of shit to me thought it was as clear pen/red as you'll ever see personally. Whats worse is the fact Everton got the warning about the short backpassing between keeper and defender and just kept on doing it which was insane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Ki went down very theatrically, as it seems all players do, but no complaints really. Stupid decision for Howard to pass to Osman, awful control from Osman. Both should be shot with shit for that. We still created a bucketload of chances with 10 men. They're garbage, which makes the defeat all the more irritating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I disagree. I don't think there was any subtle explanation for the result, it was quite simply that the red card changed the game completely. Sure, we could have played better, but we still battered them with 10 (admittedly, as a result of inevitably 'trying harder' to make up for the extra man). I'm positive we weren't getting beat with 11, but shit happens. Things just went wrong. Congratulations to them for being "spirited" and "battling" and other words that are banded around whenever there's a good win for a struggling team, and they've every right to be chuffed with the result but it really was a gift of a win for them. There was very little actual quality from them to suggest they'll be anywhere else than the bottom 3 come May. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit- I dont think sunderland will get that luxury from many opponents In none of their three wins to date have they really "won" the game in the sense of outplaying their opponents, being creative and fully deserving to win. They really are shite, a very poor PL side indeed but they may well scrape a few more wins before succumbing to the inevitable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
