Taaansend's official Sunderland match thread

[palerider]

They said on the radio that it was an unusual scorer.

I was thinking it would be a striker for a second.

I don't believe it.
Winston Reid I want your babies.

how good was that

[BillyDWhizz]

Fucking hell that was harder than it should have been. We we're actually ok but only 1 up top is devaluing Payet, Lanzini and co so much. I know there's a lot of debate about them but had Carroll & Sakho been available we would have probably won by 4 or 5.

Obiang is a bloody good player btw and that Fernandes fella did himself no harm despite being played in what I thought would be an unwise lwb (ish) position. He looks a quality young player.

Payet tried everything today! Zaza went backwards from last week Still no goal from a striker!! If Payets great solo effort had gone in when he hit the post maybe the gates would have opened! Ironic the goal had to come from our center back:)

villic gets it wrong again, one shit striker against worst team in league fucking joke !!!!

Despite the late winner, I tend to agree - Sunderland had very little, towards end of the game we were laying them under siege they just hit it long up to Defoe. Should have gone 2 up a lot earlier.

I got to give it to Fernandes he played very well in place of Cresswell, did a real job for us.

Honestly our striking woes tell me we should get someone like Defoe in for 18 months of something, because he looked a bigger threat than any of our front men, yet he plays for the worst team in the league - No chance Sunderland get rid of him but I am worried about our strikers. Our best fit striker is a 20 year old kid in my view.

Feg did a good job when he came on, credit to him. I think this 3-4-2-1 works better away from home in my view. Let's see how we do against Chelsea in the week, I hope to see a strong squad.

Wow Winston Reid.. Still no striker to score a goal! Will take those 3 points though...

Good Post!! Calleri and Zaza ( even though i backed him up last week) Have had enough chances! You would have thought 1 of these loan signings would have got on the score sheet by now!

let off for Billic IMHO !
glad of the 3 pts, but we need Sahko back asap, Zaza, not a no.9, Calarini, don't show much either, should give fletcher more time on pitch.

Reasons to be cheerful: Two clean sheets,Cresswell returns,Ayew and Saks available soon
