SUNDERLAND HOME - MATCH THREAD

[Glitch33]

Thought both Nasri & Eboue were excellent. Eboue was struggling a little in the final 15 mins but he did take a couple of knocks and busted his bollix prior to then.

Bendtner is a clueless chicken. Fair play to him for grabbling the goal. He could have had another if he pushed himself into the box on one our attacks but he decided to remain outside the box with open space between himself and the goal.

Walcott's lack of 1st team action showed again. His decision making (crossing and position) was very poor at times but he did make an exceptional run and unleashed a strike on goal. He also made a a couple of others notable dashes down the line leaving his opponent struggling.

Ramsey showed once again that if Fabregas leaves he has the potential to step right into his shoes (they should always play in the same team). He did stray a few passes but his movement and ambition was very good.

Also a mention to Almunia - he played well.

Overall an encouraging performance and in fact a great result giving out recent record against them (we only scored 2 goals in 4 matches v Sunderland prior to yesterday).

I agree with most of those points. Ramsey did make a couple of big mistakes with basic passing that nearly cost us. Like his team mates his shooting leaves a lot to be desired. What do they do in training?

Eboue MoTM for me. Never thought I'd be saying that. Nasri very good too.

Just as well that Bendtner had a tap in because an inch or two further out I would have bet on him missing.

Walcott really does look like a one trick pony. He gave McCartney a torrid time with lightening pace but there is very rarely a decent end product.

3 points though

Eboue motm without doubt cos as a full back bombing forward he is quite good.

Nasri was tearing hutton apart when fcuking bedtner started drifting out to our left wing giving nasri no fcuking space Stay in the middle you long plank cos that is what you are meant to do as central striker in a
4-3-3 He still has the 1st touch of a rapist and should have had a certain goal when he miscontrolled on the 6yd line and allowed their keeper/defence to deflect his shot onto the bar

Ramsey played well but the only two bad passes he gave all game contributed to their best chances in the game.

Walcott and tweety (along with the previously mentioned bedtner) were absolutely shocking Every ball played towards tweety caused uncertainty in our defence and he must have been close to raping kenwyne jones on a few occasions - there was def sexual assualts anyway. It made me laugh to see the bbc hype our wonderkid up last night They highlighted him running past their left full twice after starting 20yds behind him which would be great if theo was a fcuking athlete but he is a fcuking footballer so perhaps they should focus a little more on what he does when he has the ball For too often he drifted inside and didnt show for the passes while he was in there either - not good enough and no brains I'm afraid
