saintadam Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Get the third one now boys so we all can chill
fez Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Next goal is key. There won't be a next goal. We win 2-0
OttawaSaint Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 The local paper in the Sunderland area thought that Sunderland would win today. Read it this morning. It said we were in dreadful form, injuries and one eye on the final. And they were expecting Sunderland to turn us over. Wrong. Ugh. What have you done? 45+ still to play...
FriendlySaint Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Some posters missing from the thread today.... I'm usually missing when we lose, much happier when we are winning and post more. It confuses me that some seem to thrive off us losing.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Next goal is key. No goals would be ok too
eurosaint Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 First goal shouldn't have counted but that second goal was sublime. What a fantastic turn. Played well after a slow 20 or so minutes to begin with. I a matching it live in RSA on a 60 incher and have seen numerous replays, don't see any reason why it shouldn't have stood ! Maybe computer streams have not been as clear, but for me it was never in doubt !
FriendlySaint Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Ugh. What have you done? 45+ still to play... Yes and I'm very confident.
Hamilton Saint Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Ok, thought it suited him cos he looks a bit like him as well. I feel weird calling him Gabi cos that's a girl's name. Any alternative suggestions? Dini?
Saint_clark Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 "4 3 3 4 4 2 3 2 4 1"....what!? Commentators sending us subliminal messages...was that code for "help, i'm being held against my will"?
Pass the Dutchie Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Should have been his 3rd. Making a great impression!
the_barmy_saints_army Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 A clean sheet will do this back five the world of good
5string Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 A clean sheet will do this back five the world of good Indeed. And a couple more goals would give the attacking ranks some confidence, too.
OttawaSaint Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Should have been his 3rd. Making a great impression! Hopefully his confidence and flair floods into the players around him. Tadic looking better today than he has in a long while.
Saint Albert Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Denayer went in over the ball on Tadic. Could have been a pen
5string Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 How was that not a penalty? Tackle from behind! Hmm, just got the ball. Just.
Saint Albert Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 How was that not a penalty? Tackle from behind! Hmm, just got the ball. Just. He just grazed the top of the ball with his studs.
OttawaSaint Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Denayer went in over the ball on Tadic. Could have been a pen Looked like he was trying to injure him too. Lucky boy.
5string Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Well, we seem to be trying some different things in attack. Nice to see. I still think time to bring Hoj on for JWP. Save the other subs til later - maybe Long for Redmond with 15 to go?
Plastic Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Tadic has remembered how to play football, hooray.
James Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 We look so much more dangerous with Gabbi its unbelievable.
Saint Albert Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Tadic is tormenting the Sunderland defenders so far this half.
OttawaSaint Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Tadic needed to be more aggressive there and burst in on goal.
striker Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Sunderland offers nothing. They really do deserve to go down. This is a home game and look at them.
Plastic Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Sunderland offers nothing. They really do deserve to go down. This is a home game and look at them. Look like us last week.
Dalek2003 Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Sunderland offers nothing. They really do deserve to go down. This is a home game and look at them. Don't speak to soon
Saint Albert Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Stephens did well there as Defoe attempted to turn him in the box. He scored from a similar situation against Palace last weekend.
OttawaSaint Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Lovely interchange of passes there. Exquisite.
Miltonaggro Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 This will do us the power of good going into the final! How's the centre back pairing looking chaps?
melmacian_saint Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Gabbiadini was exactly what we needed. Top striker and good technique!
Atlanta Saint Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 We are being allowed to pass like that by the bottom club. Lovely interchange of passes there. Exquisite.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 I didn't endorse those opinions Simon- as made abundantly clear at the time. Just relaying what I was told. Don't try so hard pal. :lol:
OttawaSaint Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Great tacking from JWP and Cedric there. Much better.
Saint Albert Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Nice effort by Tadic...and Cedric recovers well as Sunderland look to create a chance on the counter.
5string Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 This will do us the power of good going into the final! How's the centre back pairing looking chaps? Stephens a lot better today - marshalling Defoe pretty well. When Sunderland have attacked, we've generally been pretty solid (though some dodgy moments early on). Must be talking better. Good defending from Cedric there.
Atlanta Saint Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 This will do us the power of good going into the final! How's the centre back pairing looking chaps? Not really had a lot to do TBH.
OttawaSaint Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 We are being allowed to pass like that by the bottom club. Lighten up! Would you prefer we lost. We need some confidence for the final. We need the points. Can't folk just enjoy good play, why does it always have to be "but it was only Sunderland...", etc.
Miltonaggro Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Stephens a lot better today - marshalling Defoe pretty well. When Sunderland have attacked, we've generally been pretty solid (though some dodgy moments early on). Must be talking better. Good defending from Cedric there. Cheers 5string, appreciated.
Mikey88 Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Redmond - gets the ball on the left. Stands still. Attempts to run across the edge of the box. Dispossessed. Repeat
striker Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 Very open and sloppy now. Good thing we have that 2nd goal. A goal now could come from either side at any time.
