Even in their praise of 09 and hendry giving him mom, I don’t think they mentioned he is out of position at CB.

Very impressed with that mind.

Wrong again me, champion! Very good signs there, tremendous workrate and looked good all over. Good to see it when no one is alone on the pitch , always someone to help.

They look like utterly different players to a few months ago.
 
Wtf are sky going on about now. Look at where the ball ends up. It pings off to the side of the pitch. It’s incredibly clear that Flanagan gets plenty of contact on the ball.
Ah but he caught the man afterwards. Once you’ve kicked a ball, you are supposed to be able to completely stop your leg moving or chop it off at the knee!!

yes - frustrating that. But I take that as a remarkable complement. It’s like everybody has just accepted he can play anywhere. There’s no such thing as out of position for this kid. He’s intelligent. He’s fit. He’s technically accomplished.

Just a brilliant performance
 
What is it with Philips and us? Did we upset him somehow?

He rarely has a good word to say and any compliment is a back-handed one. Very strange given he made his name playing for us.

He's like a sulky teenager who's been asked to tidy his room ...

... pulling down Jones's goal by saying the keeper made it easy for him.

It was a Kenny Dalglish finish of the highest quality, end of story.

I get the feeling he's just a dour bloke who sees the negative side in everything and he doesn't feel the need to change when it comes to Sunderland. If he has got some issue with us god knows what it is. Think he was up Donald's arse a bit, maybe that soured him on the new regime.
 
Just popped on to say that was probably our best performance in a at least a couple of seasons. To go there and control that game from minute 1.

onien was superb, Winchester was excellent as was jones and McGeady. Think that might have been mcfadzeans best performance in a Sunderland shirt as well.

All round our team showed balls there tonight. This sets us up massively going into the final stretch of the season. Still got the teams above us to play.

It’s ours to lose imo. The 3 above us will be looking o er their shoulders at us and worrying more as each game passes.

keep the faith.
