Match Day Thread Sunderland v Stoke City Saturday 14th January KO 15:00

Aye there was a bit of a kerfuffle. Not entirely sure what it was over though.

Januzaj was the only one in my eyes today who actually looked like doing something and PVA was ****ing dog ****. Adnan wins that one today for me.

 

That'll be van Aanholt sold then. Moyes won't like anyone upsetting Januzaj.

 

apparently a solid 8mill bid in for him

 

Sell him, he's ****ing ****. I could probably find a free agent better at LB than him. Going forwards he is good mind, so get some cash for him!

 

The way that Janusaj pulled out of that tackle showed he is not what is needed at present

 

Are you going to ignore the fact that he was the only player who actually went looking for the ball today to try and do something?

I've not been a fan of his but thought he's one of if not the only player to get a bit of credit for today.

 

PVA passed the ball to Januzai then went on a run for the 1 2 and Januzai held onto the ball then lost it PVA would have been clean in on goal I think

Personally I thought AJ was crap today - he just kept going down looking for a free kick I think he is really weak. The lad next to me said the same he is hoping this french club buy him so we can get another loan in.

That said I don't think any of our players covered themselves in glory possibly Seb at a push but the rest were terrible.

 

I'm not even going to be harsh on the lads. It's an awful result for the club but the sheer volume of players we have missing, any team would struggle to cope.

I would not sell PVA, he's pulled us out of the **** a lot and been very important for us these last 18 months. Sign another left back and push him forward, maybe. Wouldn't dream of selling him at the moment though.

Having not seen most of the game today, these comments might be misplaced but one of the main problems I've seen this season is the amount of time and space we've allowed other teams. That might be down to the players but its surely the manager's job to get them to put more pressure on the ball. He's so negative though that I think he'd rather they didn't do that so its easier to defend the edge of the 18 yard box, which seems to be his favourite thing to do.

Edit: cocked the quote up- sorry.

 

Sell PVA, well our only offer so far is from big Sam and we cannot contemplate selling the lad too anyone least of all to a fellow relegation struggler.
So its a big no from me, whatever the lads limitations are he offers us so much going forward.

 

That particular incident was so fecking stupid, and I can understand why Woody was so annoyed with the useless twat . . . . Januselesszai is so blinking slow and just doesn't seem to have a 'football brain' to even make him of some use

I just wish that he'd **** off . . . . the lazy, heartless (the lion from The Wizard of Oz type of heartless), twat

He'll probably prove me wrong soon, but I won't hold my breath

 

£10 million, sell him, he's w*nk really, will always be a liability. The back four today stunk of relegation, we need a shake up there asap.

 

We really can't afford to sell anyone at this point

 

Things can only get better denayer does not try at all.

 

We certainly can`t. If the stubborn twat is determined not to let the kids play he`ll be putting 10 men out there.

I think he`s going to need to get his arse in gear for Tuesday or expect some serious flak.

 

Few were saying at the game is moyes holding the team back trying to get short to dig deep. Here's hoping pops.

 

I`ve heard that a few times mate. If he is then it`s a risky ploy.

 

Yeh very risky
Knowing us it's not work

 

For what it's worth.
Sam bought very well for us last January, keeping us up with the kkk signings.
If he wants PVA surely it shows how good he is.
We need to keep the lad although I think there's a good case for playing him upfield and getting another lb in.

 

@Tel remember how good he was against you lot? He was woefully bad today. Constantly gave the ball away. Terrible. Not alone mind. Thought Januzaj was our best player today. Rodwell and Denayer poor. Mannone had no chance with the first 2. Would gave to see the third again to know for certain. Larsson never stopped but simply isn't fast enough in there. We need bodies and we simply don't have them.
