Sunderland v Everton. 12th Sept at 2000.

[N.S.N.O.]

Great to see Geri warming up, hopefully for Kev. Sends the right message out to the players.

Barkley will be lucky to still be on the pitch for the second half.....having a nightmare....but yeah Kev has been poor too.....certainly needs a shake up, no where near good enough first half

 

[bluestevon]

Think hes trying too hard...

Drop Ross back get del on for Barry don't need two def mids here

 

[Nil Satis Niasse Optimum]

Agreed in a way but Bolasie cross to Rom should have seen us in front.

Mirallas and Kev have been as effective setting up Sunderland chances more so than for us so far.

Rocket up the back for them at half time, IF they come back on that is.

Ya what lad

 

[peteblue]

Anyone mentioned how good Bolasie's cross for Rom's header was?

No mate, they've all ignored it, yet it was a thing of beauty........

 

[banno]

Baines is becoming a non entity. Talk about playing safe. We need him to be busting forward not checking back at every given moment which is no use to anyone. Barkley & Mirallas have been well shackled and Lukaku is just poor. Bolasie , Gueye and Barry are playing well and Jags, Williams and Coleman are suring up the defence. We have half the team playing well and the other half playing poor but still think we can sneak it.

 

[Mosh Pit]

Is anybody else enjoying the game tonight? Thought we've done quite well, some nice tidy football. Anyway, as you were...

 

[Barkley's Boots]

Some drunk guy at a bar here in the states. "They were saying all week on tv this is the biggest game of the year. Gabe needs to have a big game for the blue team to win."

 

[ToffeeDan]

Geri for Yannick and all sorted.

Mind you Barks needs a rocket up his bum.

 

[davek]

Been our best offensive player so far Dave

...not saying a lot.

He's getting a lot of ball because the punts are in his direction.

 

[balggy]

Seems just to blast the ball into the box without looking?

Cracking cross for Lukaku. It's not consistent every time but not many wingers are.

 

[Joey66]

Anyone mentioned how good Bolasie's cross for Rom's header was?

Yes wish Joe Royle had been on the end of it!

 

[Khalekan]

No left behind. Not fit enough apparently.

Yes, I thought I read that.

 

[MACCA75]

Kirchhoff is quality.

He joins Capoue on my January shopping list.

Said in the summer we should go for Capoue. Starting to develop into the complete midfielder now he's adjusted to the Prem.

Kirchoff can barely move though, even though he reads the game well and rarely gives the ball away.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

So far showing up the limitations we have in no natural playmaker which we all knew already, get a goal and yeah the pace we have wil do damage, but Sunderland have set up like an away team and it's exposing is a lot. Get del on and maybe shed Barry and drop Ross backas honestly there bypassing centre mid anyway

Oh for a Juan Mata, eh?

You know what time it is Ron, unleash the beast...
