Ignoring the yes it was no it wasn't, I really think CH will have to bring Holt on for Kamara. I don't think the lad is doing anything wrong but we just need it to stick it a bit longer without Hoolahan in support. As Carrabuh says, Sunderland are awful and apart from Graham winning the aerial battle, they aren't threatening us. If Turner can stop panicking we could handle them.
For me, Holt has to come on. He is the best we have at the lone striker role and would give release to what is almost certainly going to be a big half for us defensively.
I still feel we can win this. Sunderland look very ordinary even against 10 men. Maybe they have another gear to go up to. we'll have to wait and see.
i've got nothing against benno, but he has looked a cut below today when it comes to weighting both passes and shots. A bit green still. Howson not looking so unreliable now.
so now a sunderland player has a high arm, ball hit's it in the penelty area... free kick ... yay I'm voting this ref for sunderland fan of the year lol
According to SSN, Michael Gray says we should have had a penalty for handball. He says the ref got it wrong on this call.
