MOTM for me too. Pains me, just like Bardos performances. Still rather them play well than rubbish though.
We have been playing quite well -for Sunderland, in midfield with Bardsley and Dossena coming forward too. I'd pick Cattermole and Ki in the middle with Larsson/Johnson and Gachierini - Altidore and Fletch up front. I sincerely believe that one day those two are going to click.
See, there you go with your abrasive comments, you're a sad act mate, just drop it cos you're not fooling anyone with the hard man routine.
I feel the only way we can play Jozy and fletch together would to be play three at the back. I think we can't afford to be light in midfield implementing this style of football, not at this early stage anyway.
By Liam Prenderville Chelsea pair David Luiz and Oscar both ruled out of Sunderland clash The Brazilian duo are struggling with knee and ankle problems respectively as Samuel Eto'o returns to the squad for Stadium of Light trip Out of action: David Luiz and Oscar both out of Chelsea's clash with Sunderland out of action: David Luiz and Oscar both out of Chelsea's clash with Sunderland Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho will not be able to call on the services of Brazilian internationals David Luiz and Oscar for the trip to Sunderland tomorrow night. Luiz has been struggling with a knee problem, while his countryman picked up an ankle injury, forcing him to come off in the Blues' 3-1 win over Southampton on Sunday. Frank Lampard replaced Oscar in the first half at Stamford Bridge and could do so again, with Demba Ba also vying for a starting berth after impressing as a substitute against Mauricio Pochettino's side. Samuel Eto'o is back in contention after a groin problem, while Willian and Andre Schurrle could start, should Mourinho decide to rotate his side. Provisional squad : Cech, Schwarzer, Ivanovic, Cole, Azpilicueta, Bertrand, Cahill, Terry, Mikel, Essien, Lampard, Ramires, Mata, Schurrle, De Bruyne, Hazard, Willian, Torres, Eto'o, Ba
Been up all night yet again. Can't wait for tonight, seems a million miles off to me. Just had a never ending night, time for a never ending day.

On this day in 1999 Kevin Phillips and Niall Quinn each struck twice as SAFC romped to a 4-1 victory over Chelsea at the SoL - a certain Gus Poyet nabbed the consolation goal for the Blues in the Uruguayan's first-ever visit to the Stadium of Light.
