    I knew we’d let a few goals in today , but this could end up being anything City want it to be...

    I predict a 7-2 final score.

    I never said not to blame the managers or players. For example, last season MP was hugely to blame in my view.

    But my point still stands. The board appoint the manager, the board sign the players. If the board had never messed up in appointing MP in the first place, then we wouldn't have had to put up with his awful management.

    Get rid of the manager and players all you want. But if you're not getting the rid of the board, then I don't know why you would think that us getting relegated would somehow allow us to turn things around. Poor managerial appointments continue. Poor player recruitment continues. More likely I would suggest is that the downward slump just speeds up. I'm Sunderland fans were delighted last year at getting relegated for the PL the season before... (Things have begun to look brighter for Sunderland these days. Guess what, they have a new board.)

    Disappointing that yet again a player has switched off in time added on. Cedric really should have done better and been stronger.

    Hughes to go in and give them some good old fashion vocal management. We'll go on to lose 7-1.

    Why are we 4-4-2 away at the etihad. It’s like Hughes doesn’t even watch football

    Hoedt gets distracted so damn easy. Cedric has always been like it, but now we have two defenders like it

    Hoedt is a ****ing liability 9 times out of 10.

    The first 20 was an absolute shambles and our defending has been pathetic. Better once we got the pen but then Cedric gifted City a 4th. At least Pellegrino got us well organised against the big teams.

    Yeah this, the line up was so bad it wasn't even funny. No idea how people can look at that and think it was a good idea

    Also, have said it many times but Hoedt is a shambles of a player. Why him and long are anywhere near the side I have absolutely no clud

    Why did we even buy Vestergaard? I thought the whole point was that it was acknowledged last season that Stephens and Hoedt weren't a good enough CB pairing?

    Cedric gets away with it because of his pace. Hoedt is like a reverse Van Dijk, chills 90% of the time is good 10%

    Just got in from work and switched on the TV just in time the debacle of the fourth goal. Can only imagine this has been our standard of football to be 4 down at half time. Hughes said before the match we needed special tactics for this game to contain City. We certainly have been special...

    Vestergaard has a turning circle of a house

    I think if City bring some fresh legs on at half time they might win this
