Qwpzxjor1 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 One positive - good performance from Beye. Nice to know we can rely on him after all. Ireland doesn't seem to have any understanding with his new team mates yet, and we lacked any sort of cutting edge up front again. Dunne was absolutely shocking once again. He must be dropped for a game or two. If he's carrying an injury get it sorted! If he's not, get whatever is up with him sorted. Wasn't just the own goal today - he looked absolutely terrified every time the ball came near him. I wasn't expecting much from this game to be honest, but I am starting to get slightly worried about how we're sliding down the table now, and not sure Houllier has what he needs to work with. MON liked to work with a small squad it seems, Houllier likes to be able to change things around if they're not working. At the moment he just can't do that. January could be interesting, but I am expecting a major overhaul in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 First one was a penalty, no doubt about it. Just like to add that Dean Sturridge is an absolute tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I predicted 1-0 to Sunderland and I'm not suprised that we lost. If you play one man up front and that man is Heskey you are not going to score many goals. Let's not persist with this madness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Under O'Neill we would always come from behind. we've lost that steel. Always? Rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Under O'Neill we would always come from behind. we've lost that steel. Always? Rubbish. Yes - we have certainly lost the steel that we had under MON. Despite some decent football - we are a very easy team to beat. - Almost a soft touch. I fear the worst when we come up against the cloggers from St Andrews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Was a bad match i agree.. i really hope we win in the league Cup match against burnley that's the only thing stopping me from going insane (staying in the cup competition) We really need a top striker like REALLY need it now. It's October. We've got 3 more months of not scoring to suffer through. It's a shame Ireland hasn't provided much to the side. Shame Dunne is woefully out of form. Shame we're gonna end up mid table.

Hanky Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Bad result. Not unsurprising although before the game I felt we would win. Not seen any of the game so can't really comment on individuals or the way we played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasGasGas Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Wish that Halsey would just **** off, coming back from his cancer and screwing around with yet another of our games. Everytime a Villa player made a tackle it was a foul, yet the Sunderland players were free to do anything and execute wrestling moves and get away with it. Ireland was practically invisible once again. The turning point was when he was substituted off and from there on that's when we really dominated the game.

QuintonK6 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 **** sake, why is Dunne still playing. I've been expressing this opinion since the Newcastle game. He's been terrible all season and the same for the Irish. This happened at Man City when his form went completely tits up for no reason. It's gotta be Collins and either Clarke/Cuellar pairing from now on in. On the bright side our new system of play is very pleasing IMO and NRC is in the form of his career at this moment. Will be very exciting when Delph comes back as I feel this will be the new midfield paring from next season on. Houllier is no mug and I'd bet my arsehole to a Kings Cross kerb crawler his No1 priority is a Centre Forward as we can't possibly compete for a top 6 spot with the current crop up front. I'm really optimistic tho and think once Houllier has established his best 11 and signed a CF we'll be very competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Not long back. I'm not sure what to make of what Houllier is trying to do. First half in the main we were crap as we were **** about with passing the ball it seemed for passings sake. Second half the lads seemed to do what they do best and we got the ball forward much quicker and looked far more dangerous and had one great chance and a few half chances. As for individual performances. Ireland wasn't in the game at all, Ash was wasteful a number of times both in play and from free kicks and corners. Thought Reo Coker put himself about well and drove us forward but his passing was more miss than hit. Heskey did well again and bought others in to the game and put himself about. We need to continue to do what we did for the last 30 mins today. Up the tempo and get the ball forward quickly instead of pissing about with sideways and backwards passing for the sake of it.

Yes - we have certainly lost the steel that we had under MON. Despite some decent football - we are a very easy team to beat. - Almost a soft touch. I fear the worst when we come up against the cloggers from St Andrews. Like last week?I was just about to mention that. If we can match and almost beat Chelsea at home we can quite easily beat SHA. Yes, I know Chelsea were missing some key players but they're still 5 times better than SHA. We often seem easy to beat away - at home we've been solid.
