The match is 5.30 GMT tonight.
Was fearing the worst with still no CH but Liverpool looked very rusty the other night so who knows, still think anything would be a bonus, since we have no real CF.

Ah believe Agger and Skrtel are still recovering from injuries. When fit, Agger should be the first center back on the team sheet. Looks like Rafa looking to sell Alonso, cause he start Plessis today, although they said he didn't play well in the Champions League game this week.

0-0 Half time

They playing slightly better than they did on Wednesday (that was REAL shit!) but still no service for Torres and Keane...Rafa will throw a tantrum and hopefully throw Alonso on...I don't know who would buy Alonso now that he's cup tied.

Best forward in the world: TORRES

Goal Torres!
Undeserved, but I'll take it!
-
dont give big playas time and space . one chance one goal
-
Match done. Sunderland can take positives from this...their squad already seems better and deeper than last year, and that's still with Kenwyne (and Yorke) to come back from injury. For Liverpool, 3 points while playing badly. That's what Man Utd and Chelsea were able to do last year from time to time, so I'm taking this as a positive, rather than the negative that we played kind of flat and blah :beermug:

Wondering whether we should sell Alonso, although Barry scores a lot and has good chemistry with Gerrard. Alonso was the difference in the second half. Robbie Keane will get going soon. Needs a few more games to settle in.

;D goal TORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS a win is a win 8)
-
Elementary mistake cost them the game, you don't give a player of Torres calibre that kinda real estate.
Malbranque, Diouf and Chimbonda definitely add a lot of quality to this Sunderland side, and at times they were playing some football I didn't see all of last season.
But also study if they go revert to the same long ball target man brand when KJ returns. And if they don't, how will KJ adjust to a side that actually willing to knock around the ball on the floor?

That is how he accustomed to playing with Southampton. Dey midfield was playing dat same knockaround style. Different level, but still. He eh have much adjustment to make besides speed of thought and better touch.

Glad I'm not the only one... Malbranque, Chimbonda... Diouf?? Where've I been? lol
Darn good players... will be interesting to see how the temperamental Diouf copes with the equally temperamental Keane.
Tough loss... but brilliant strike by Torres.

i wonder if i will keep getting these hasty post match emails from Roy when Sunderland hit ah bad patch?
Dear Sunderland supporter,
We were tiring in the last 10 or 15 minutes, which I take responsibility for, because maybe we should have had one or two more tougher games in pre-season.
Other than the goal, I thought we played well.
This time last year we scored three minutes into injury time, you have just got to take it on the chin, but performance wise, I was fairly pleased.
I thought we played some good stuff today, we had one or two chances, but when you get chances against one the big teams, you have got to take them.
If we had gone a goal up today, it would have been very hard for Liverpool, after their game in midweek.
Liverpool were getting stronger as the game went on. When you drop off Torres like that, you know what can happen. As soon as it left his foot I thought 'goal'. That's why he costs a few bob.
When we played Liverpool and teams like that last year, I hoped we'd get a result; this morning I believed we'd get a result. That's the big difference, that's the progress we've made.
Liverpool will get on the bus and they'll be glad to see the back of us, and that's a good sign for us. It was a big result for Liverpool today, a big result.
The new lads did well - but all the lads did. Some of our players tired in important positions, the last 15 minutes was always going to be tough for us.
Bardo had not played much in pre-season and he gave a good performance, I can't fault the players, they all contributed today.
But for all our effort and good play, we lost. We have got to take it on the chin, this is the Premier League, the toughest league in the world.
Thanks for your support,
Roy Keane
Sunderland 0 Liverpool 1

You now come or what? I have at least 38 or those in my inbox from last year...
I think is a nice touch, when you see "you have received an e-mail from Roy Keane, lol

The game turned out much as I thought although thought the draw would of been OK.
I thought tireness got in, Malbranque especially but his transfer dragged on the longest so unsure how much it effected his preseason training.
Midfield was good, as expected very little firepower / toothless up front, rumour a striker is due to sign early next week ( probably Benni McCarthy being linked all week) I think we need someone with a bit more power.
The defence was what I expected the goal was coming a couple of times players were free 5 yards or so outside the box with the defenders seemingly happy to hold the penalty box as a line. 2 poor headers lead to the goal should of been cleared. Still need a CH and a LB.
Carlos just doesn't seem to want to hold the ball or go past players, don't know what is going to happen there.
Kenwyn will have to play a different game on his return, with ball in front of him and finding space, I hope he is equally effective at it, discussed on the transfer thread.
We are as said 3/4 palyers short of a decent team, Liverpool didn't play well today, but in truth we never really threatened them, but played pretty football. Still think there is improvement in the team.

I saw nothing today to convince me that the vermin are title contenders.

It's early out still. We still have three players to return from the Olympics: Babel, Lucas, and Mascherano. I think we need one more quality signing before the transfer window closes.
