Just said they dominated the game and he doesn't know they lost. Did he watch the ****ing game or what? The prick. We had 4 or 5 very, very good chances to seal an even bigger win in that 2nd half alone on the break and although they had a lot of possession, we worked our bollocks off to close them down and prevent any clear cut chances. He mentioned the foul on Zabaleta (and I agree it was) but failed to mention that Kompany should have been sent off for 2 bookings as a counter balance. Sure they had chances too but then they are the champions of England after all but our chances were on a par and we actually scored. Yes they hit the bar but the last time I looked, that doesn't score you anything in a game of football but putting it in the net does. AJ has been under the scrutiny of pundits and fans alike but that would have been very sweet today and a nicely struck shot too. That was a top class Man City side that met their match today from 13 players that played like a real team and earned their 3 points totally today. Why cant this Italian twat just have some common decency and say well done Sunderland. We wanted it more and earned the win, not a flukey backs to the wall one but by playing some fantastic attacking football at times and some brilliant defensive work from the back 5 AND the whole midfield. I cant single out 1 individual in that win as there were massive performances all over the pitch but I will say that James McClean, so often the brunt of supporters frustration recently (me very much included in that) had a 10/10 performance on the left, right, defence and through the middle. His work ethic was inspirational today. Special mention to our Manager too. Ridiculously under fire only 4 or 5 weeks ago with many fans urging Short to sack and replace him, he is now well placed to receive the manager of the month for December with 3 wins from 4 games already and if we can do the Spuds on Saturday lunch time a massive 12 points from 15 on offer, with only a defeat at Old Trafford a non return. Brilliant way to silence your critics that imo. We are now seeing the rewards for 6 or 7 weeks improvement in form and play (since the Everton game imo) and why its vital we stick with MoN and let him build his team. We have lost at Norwich and deserved something; lost at Man Utd but had a good 2nd half; and got beaten off Chelsea but put in a spirited performance imo. 6 games with 3 wins and 3 defeats. 7 games in December will culminate on Saturday and if we pull off a 4th win it will be a good feeling going into the FA Cup game. Thanks for the Christmas presents SAFC and another 3 points from our Blue Manc Santa's and their official bogey team now. Lol
Cloud 9 Cest. They can have all the ball they want, but they never hurt us. We hurt them time and time again, they had more ****s, yes, but in reality, we SHOULD have scored at least 3. Not 1 of their chances was a 'should have scored'. Frazier, and Jimmy's shot when he should have rolled to Sess is 2 off the top of my head, I'd need to see a replay of Hart's first half save, but from my viewpoint it was a magnificent stop.
Good post Cest'. I agree that peformance at Everton semed to suggest we had something and it wouldn't be long for the results to start coming. I just hope the net few games we show the same level of commitment and team ethic and we shoot up the league. Also...chuffed for MoN. The guy has endured some unbelievable stick this season from some fans. Wonder if they feel he should be replaced now??
They have 4 or 5 strikers that must have cost them a combined £200m and yet they still cant score against the mighty mackems at the SOL.
Spot on been saying this for awhile. You can see his players don't like the way he goes about things.
Sessegnon was awesome today. Kompany and Yaya could easily have got second yellows in the second half and that ott challenge on fletcher could've easily been a straight red. Wonder if Mancini thought that foul on Fletcher in the box was a foul or if he missed it? Or if the fouled and "injured" player who was rolling about to try to get the game stopped suddenly jumped up and ran after the ref once we'd scored?? Play acting???
