Marcus and BBP, you mention fire and one game against Citeh, I think he is just another average player we build up. Are we just bad judges of our lads in Red and White ? How many do we sell who go on to better things ? Only a handful in my 40 years. He just isn't top 10 along with Laarson, Gardener, Bardsley O'Shea and on and on and on.
Don't think he wants to play AM, as the article's title would suggest, just cm rather than dm. Which I think he can do no bother Really really hope he is starting tomorrow. If Gardner plays ahead of him then I'll cry edit: ^ I should have read through the thread first!
And we are??? In our position we need people willing to fight and drive others on.. Berbatov is a fantastic footballer but he will not put his head or foot in where it might get hurt to bring a team out. Cattermole will. He is the definite type of player we need en in our position. I have seen and watched a lot of him and, on his day, he's one of the best DMs in the league. Too many injuries and suspensions. His last red card was never a red in a million years for ANY other player in the premier league. Particularly proven by Brady and Marriner in the same game. His dis cine was his fault when younger but sadly players like elmohamady etc will target him and play act to get him carded. I have seen hundreds of challenges worse than most of his yellows last season go without punishment. I have also watched a player develop into someone not only capable of tackling but also capable of picking a pass and seeing a pass. If you haven't enjoyed watching him then, as I say, it can only be due to pre judgement and not being willing to admit when he has a good game as you will have to eat humble pie. He has had a number of excellent games. Was way ahead of Colback against Spurs recently and, second half, Sunderland couldn't keep the ball until he came onto the field. Against 100m opposition. He found a red and white shirt almost every time.
This for me too. Borini and Johnson on the wings. That would be a decent attacking line up. Start with Jose up top the batter the defense then bring Fletcher on if we need a goal when they are tired.
I'll go along with that... Mind i'm firmly in the Catts in camp, aye he's a loop, but i like him.. His passion reminds me of this beauty. please log in to view this image
Catts is probably our only cm with real aggression and grit. We're a much better team with him playing oh and that gif is class
There was another Sunderland player, hard as nails, he's still around.. please log in to view this image
Love Bally, ****ing smashing bloke. Came up here from the south & fell in love with the place. I remember him saying in a TV interview, "I'd run through a brick wall for this club." I know others have said that but Bally actually meant it. Class man. .
