for my post where i said signing johnson would be start of the end for o'neilll can't find it but still feeling quite smug
You are smug over the fact your football club has increased its chances of spiraling out of this league? I am positive you are one of us mags!
The start of the end for O'Neill was the horrible run we went on at the end of the season. We never quite recovered and have been limping ever since. Don't feel smug. You were wrong.
I don't blame Johnson, every time he gets the ball the opposition have doubled up on him, even a 10 man Norwich, we should have capitalised on this much earlier with other midfielders or fullbacks
Bollox he is fcking ****, this doubling up bollox. Against Norwich he was passed the ball in twenty yards of space it triclkled under his foot out for a throw, fcking rubbish.
Our manager has been sacked. Relax with the Johnson bashing for once. Please. If you're really a Sunderland fan (up for debate) why don't you join in the other discussions about the next manager
"Bollox he is fcking ****, this doubling up bollox. Against Norwich he was passed the ball in twenty yards of space it triclkled under his foot out for a throw, fcking rubbish." That and he supported Newcastle as a kid eh !
To be fair - at premiership level, if a team has only one outlet - a single flair player then the opposition can easily commit resources to nullifying it. If a team has 2 or 3 dangerous players in their forward line then they cannot "double up" as they will then be leaving someone else free. Sunderland's problem is not the managers (Bruce or O'neil) it is a one-dimensional squad with limited quality - that is down to investment and recruitment.
