Just to be an awkward tw*t I'll vote for the fans. Best atmosphere for ages. You could make a case for every player today so easier giving it collectively to every bloody one of them.
Difficult one this, Ricco was great today, kept Chamberlin quiet and marked RVP a few times when he had to. Goal was well taken and he worked ever so hard all game. I thought Catts, Gardner and Colback ran the middle of the park, I don't know how you can drop any of them. The main man was Sess again though MOTM for me, he just causes so many problems for defenders, holds the ball up well, runs with it passes and even jumps well for header. He worked ever so hard closing down and chasing lost causes. We MUST give him a new contract and keep him in the summer.
That was a team performance but if forced to pick a MOTM then it would have to be this fella who was signed by Roy Keane. please log in to view this image
This, he is such a key element to the team, i honestly think we could do without any other player but the loss of Sess at the moment a real blow!
All of the players were excellent today but if forced to choose a MOTM it would have to be Richardson for me. Roy Keane's first major signing and still with SAFC. Deservedly becoming recognised as a tremendous servant of the club. please log in to view this image
My pick was Richardson. Closely followed by Sess & Catts. Whole defence was outstanding as were the 3 CMs, and the wingers!! Very, very pleasing!
Looked at the team today MR and though "why are we not playing another striker, why are we not attacking them". I then remembered I am a total pleb and MON is a tactical genius and he had forgot more about football tactics from when he had his breakfast this morning than I will ever comprehend in my life. I felt better after this, forgot I was in fact a Sunderland supporter and just sat back to watch the demolition of Arsenal. Happy, happy days
Ricco for me, but I would also give a mention to Seb for some outstanding crosses. Turner looked good for him but he seems to have lost the knack of the attacking header in the oppo's box - if he could bring that back in to his game then we might look like scoring from Seb's corners more than we do at the moment
All of them! I've watched Arsenal twice now in the lase 8 days and senn RVP and Chamberlain look ordinary. These are 2 of their best players and our defence made them look ordinary. Both Rocco and Bardsley against Chamberlain and Turner against Van Persie. Ricco, Cattermole, McClean all fantastic.
