Sunderland's "Downturn"

The way I look at it is Blackburn have played 11 and have 6 points which is woeful whichever way you look at it

 

Blame Allardyce not Kean. He's done to Blackburn what he did to us, screwed the team up then gone before they actually go down.

 

In my opinion, Bendtner is the sorriest excuse for a footballer I've had the pleasure of seeing put on a Sunderland top, and completely indicitive of why these "superstars" are hated.

He's shocking but thinks he's mint, and thus acts like a petulent child. The best he has achieved this season is working as a target man... His knock downs are ok, but as for class? Must be nursery school class yeah? I will be surprised and saddened if anyone here can honestly assert they'd trade Shola or Lover for him, never mind Best or Ba...

They have slowly become more and more mediocre, and that's what Brucey deals in... Everytime he gets money at a club, he spends it on **** and then buggers off to the next sideways career step... Leaving the club he's left in a worse state than a Titus victim to fall...

Sunderland fans are not stupid, they know all this, that's why Bruce is a marked man right now... Turn in around in the next 4 games and he's got to hope the board are generous in January!

 

This was there last line-up against Man United :

Westwood
Bardsley Turner Brown Richardson
Sessegnon Colback Cattermore Larsson
Bendtner Wickham

Subs : Carson, El Mudamidi, Gardner, Meyler, McClean, DW Ji.

They lack a proper LB IMO. I thought Richarson was a natural winger? He's played in various positions the times I've seen Sunderland play.. from LB to LM to CM and even as a AM behind the striker. Also there strikers are inferior to the likes of Bent/Welbeck/Campbell/Jones, although Wickham has greater potential than them all if you ask me, but I'm not a Bendtner fan to be honest. There CM's aren't that great either although Gardner/Cattermore/Vaughan all have good experience in this league but Colback/Meyler are still young and inexperienced although I heard they both have very good potential. Is Sessegnon a natural AM or winger? A proper LM would be good aswell.. also what happened to the excellent goalie you lot had.. Craig Gorden?

Basically in conclusion I can see Sunderland ending in mid-talbe.. probably around 12th/11th/10th.. around there.. I can't see them relegated though.

 

WTF.........don't care about the unwashed.

 

Bruce is the kind of manager who thinks he knows it all because his playing career was 1. Successful and 2. Under Alex Ferguson. His managerial career hasn't been about learning, it's been about hanging on for the year, two years, champions league win until Ferguson retires and he gets the job.
Mourinho and Guardiola have won **** loads and been linked. Seeing this he chooses to blame his club for being mediocre rather than himself which is why his career has been viewed as a stepping stone route. He'll never get to Manchester, but will be one of those managers who's around for ever, slowly slipping down the leagues.
