Virgin boy will be subbed at half time. No way will Friend have the balls to deny sending him off a third time. Weak.
Bring sterling and Cissokho on give some width. Sterling would do better than Johnson today. Could do sakho and go three but not sure many would like that!!!
Love that replay! Gerrard saying to Suarez, no more free kicks for you to which Suarez laughs sheepishly as they embrace!
Ref's having a mare so far! Sunderland are roughing us up a la Stoke. Sunderland could, and probably should, have had 2 players sent off so far. One straight red (goalscoring chance), one a definite second yellow! SAS need a goal!
umm god that was a tense half. Not on fire tonight (Johnson not even ambers never mind flaming) but if ref had done what he should we would be very comfortable just hope an early goal to settle nerves and force them to open up a bit giving us room to play in
Was it? Didn't notice. Still, send two off, anyway ... Hopefully have a better second half, get another and Sunderlands' tails will drop ... and we can try and grab a few near the end! As long as we don't concede and draw, I'm not bothered about the final score!
SAS have not clicked tonight, could be the way Sunderland have targeted them. This should give more space for other players, but when those other players include Johnson and Allen there's the problem. To be fair to Allen he has carried the ball well from just in front of our defence , he let's himself down though when he has to pass it or runs into a blind alley.
Very hard playing teams that play like this but our shooting has been crap. Only one shot on target. But it was a goal!
Dannyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Sturridgeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Slight deflection took it away from the keeper.
