Trying to get a fan on to talk about City, Perry groves thinks we are in trouble with the way we played and the attitude of the players. Hard to disagree but any voulenteers take to the phone....
Attitude of the players is disgraceful. I would rather have our squad than SUnderlands but I would much rather have the passion the Sunderland players have. The bust a gut most games.
They summed it up wonderfully. "Steve Bruce is generally thought of as a good manager, but a good manager who you should sack at the earliest possible opportunity." I find it hard to disagree.
I'm not pro-sacking Bruce or anything, but I can't fault the players too much. Individually, they seem to do their job every week. It's as a team that they are awful - and that's down to Bruce. Week after week the same players are doing the same things, either Bruce keeps telling them to do it, or he should have replaced them with one of the many options we have outside of the first XI (for pretty much every position).
the small part i heard, Perry Groves said exactly what ive been saying since saturday...worrying that after the bollocking at Burnley and extra training etc, 3 weeks later we laid down and had our bellies tickled by Man United..
Yes I heard that, he's right I think bruce needs to throw a few tea cups and maybe borrow fergies hairdryer.
Did you go Saturday? I'd argue they didn't really do there job, unless bruce said stand and watch utd play in front of you. We were trailing at old trafford and we needed something to spark us into life and we brought Meyler and Quinn on!!! Not the sort of players to spark a revival outside the first 11
I thought they could have tried harder Saturday, I could have played cb for utd and city wouldn't have worried me
Its worrying that the Under 21 Development squad/team got beat 3-0 at Burton Albion this afternoon. WTF is going on at the club at the moment ?????????????
Agreed we didn't test them at all, but it wasn't for lack of effort. The likes ot Livermore and Jelavic were as tireless as ever.
