Liverpool v SAFC: Preview Pack & Game Thread.

[freakazoid]

strange, given the fact that jones is sunderlands star boy why do they tend not 2 involve him in alot of plays

[#4]

dais a shit penalty and a shit goal right dey...especially with d 2 d refs did not give Sunlun

[WestCoast]

ok, good game liverpuddle

[maxg]

someone please send Kenwyne the ball
nah...
someone please get Kenwyne A ball

the problem is even if he get it , it's in the air and he vastly outnumbered...Sunderland has to play as a team...i.e defend as a team, attack as a team...not, when the ball IS NOT in the defense, then it's Jones an Chop, and when it's not up, then it's the defense must work....the whole team have to help each other....basic football

[Sando prince]

Sunderland play alot of sh*t...Jones will not be able to show his full potential playing with so many bullshitters!!(just being honest)..Throughout this entire game Sunderland kept giving the ball away to Liverpuddle, therefore constantly losing posession. Also the midfied failed to provide KJ with any type of support. (Yorke was really missed in this game) Dont think sunderland had more than two shots on goal for the entire first half

[Ngozi]

Sunderland has a truly horrific midfield if Yorke isn't there or Carlos or Richardson the potential of this team retaining  any kind of possession or creating anything whatsoever is a foreign element to them ...... is it really asking so much to pick up a ball turn and play a ball into your strikers' feet or am I simply being too demanding? my goodness the level of ball has really gone down when this is what I have to look at on Tv  ....Trintoc vs Police used to be a much bigger game than this.

If you look at the midfield that play, though. That's not even the second choice midfield. Two strikers on the wings. Shithound Whitehead in the middle. Some might say is poor excuses, but they truly suffering through injuries to their top midfielders. And they have no depth at the moment to compensate.

Is either that referee grew up in liverpool and promise never to let them down or I was 11 against 12 men on the field..............

[Ponnoxx]

 I really couldn't watch that whole game....Jesus Christ ...Sunderland nah....Kenwyne Jones have better control but after he run up and down like a donkey without getting the ball ...I think he control does deplete....the man only gettin air ball...They needed a good midfielder....They shoulda buy Diarra

[maxg]

How about drop back the best Striker in the EPL an make him the best midfielder in the world....doh fraid

sunderland conceded 3 goals but the defence looking much better than earlier in the season, they need to investgate the state of they training ground or training routines so that the injured guys can come off d treatment table and stay off it

but all in all i must admit there was a small improvement in the team play . supply to the strikers was still way below par though

I have been to the Toon and Sunlun @ Sunderland University and Freakazoid, I think you are supporting a suspicion that I have....

The grounds are pretty heavy there in the Tyne... and always damp to me... even in their summer it was cloudy for about 30 days while I was there...

Maybe they need to hit the gym more because they need foot strong as water bison to run on dem fields...

Plus Sancho and Avery in de back...

[grskywalker]

Kenwayne barely touch the ball all game, just chasing shadows all game. Sunders really need some help yes

They concede BC the defence had no time to rest , they were allways on the defensive since the mids don't know how to hold on to the ball. sunlun lost most their games in the midfield, yorke is meh boy , but he's getting really slow, etuhu has no offensive skills whatsoever, he defends better than going forward, miller definatly too slow for a midfielder, whitehead is at best is a league one player, the man can't handle the speed of the prem, he needs too much time on the ball to be effective , and the prem does not allow that.

bardsley , evans , noggsy and collins , where as a solid wall, that's a real defencive four, they had ah solid game , but how much could four men defend a goal when the other four are a liability, especially against a team like liverpool. in order for sulun to win , they must envolve their strikers since goals win matches, and it seems that murphy and miller don't know how to penetrate a defence. i allways wonder why keane plays yorke in the middle , maybe he should play him where he's most confortable, up front with KJ. let's hope richardson , reid and edwards recover in time to save the season.                         positive.

Sunderland has been playing like this the entire season. 80% of the balls Jones get is up in the air. When they played United  the first time, KJ had 2 men on him and they still playing the air ball for most of the game. They have to put more balls on the ground. All this air ball will not work against the top 6 or 7 teams in the EPL

 top 6 man any team in the Prem will close him down if all he getting is air ball. Sunders better players are out, CHOPRA have some skills and on a good day he is a handful, but he needs to start consistently with KJ, CARLOS, RICHARDSON and Yorke are the real quality players, but injuries have messed up Sunderland's momentum. The last Sunderland sub who came on against Liverpool look like he just out of high school, so I ain't know where he was going!

He eh even out yet. He's just 17. Keane have almost no midfielders to choose from anymore.
