****official black cats v citizens match thread****

[Ted Hughes]

What the hell happened to Sergio? That guy came in on fire and hasnt done much for awhile.
Silva has been "poor" (by his standards) these last few weeks.
Yaya was wasteful.
Kolarov was awful and Nasri was poor too.

Vinnie was a beast in the back.

Not the end of the world but is a massive setback.

All had their stinker moments. Vinny's defending of the 1v1 v Sessegnon was as bad as it gets; truly incompetent. That should have been Sunderland 1 up.

hahahahahahaha wath a fuckin cry baby u can win all games. they can play always good. dzeko didnt play last game so wath hapend we didnt win . if u look the game come again u will see how much sundrlend was lucky two crossbars milion chanses last 20 min all off them in 16 box. and goal from offside , and its always dzekdzeko dzeko , and jhonson was ghost by the line aguero is bad for long time but dzeko who score 13 goals with half of minuts o agero is guilty , i will love him to go so i can fucken watch normal game he was bad but if he dont score he is allways bad so ed go please go i can listen this shit any more

Fuck off with ur dzeko love in. Hes lazy fucker who doesnt close diwn defenders and rarely wins a header against them.

[ashton287]

Should have been a consolation at best. With the amount of possesion we had in the final third, we should have had two or three.

We should of had a point. The lino should of kept up with the game and ruled the goal out.

It would be so much easier to take a defeat or a draw if it was deserved but they never are.

Fulham-dzeko fouled before the second goal.
Chelsea-absolute stone wall pen ignored at 1-0.
Wba-onside goal given offside.
And now sunderland-he was offside.

Wow Dzeko really is a donkey... Shite!!!! Would much rather have adebayor! Pissed off! Wish him and Kolarov would pack up and funk off!!!!

you'r analysis is horrible. Dzeko didn't play last 2 games because of injury, and before these games he only played 40-60 minutes in 4-5 GAMES so don't talk if you don't know whats going on. Maybe he didn't have the best game today but he hit a crossbar (if it went in you would be calling him a hero now), he also created good chances for other players that didn't get the ball in the net.

Wtf is it with these Dzeko fanboys?? He was fucking lazy and awful. An absolute embarrassment.

[sheblue]

too many players not playing well enough, i wonder

[Flixton Blue]

play your best team from the start, hes had to fetch on aguero richards and silva so no rest anyway bad decision, always take 1 game at a time dont they say, oh and as far as no bias i had to listen 5 live 2nd half commentary at work mcclaren and the ccommentator were having orgasms when they scored, mentioning how fergusons birthday would be better now we had lost
and that was yesterday, whatts that got to do with us and sunderland. nobody only city fans want us to win this league the media hate us.

to be fair, a goal in the dying minutes of extra time is dramatic...i'd expect a commentator to big up the moment. it's dramatic.

if we can't win a match like WBA or Sunderland with squad rotation then we're fucked. End of story. That's not arrogance, it's reality.

Mancini needs to have a look at every player in the eye and see who wants this....

cheers

Completely agree.

My $0.02

We wouldnt have scored in that game if we'd played for 7 hours. Too ponderous in getting the ball forward, with the speed of passing, ball movement and distribution in the final third exceedingly poor. We made Sunderlands defensive job a whole lot eaier by not spreading the play, speeding up the pace of the game and having a front man in Dzeko who didnt do nearly enough up top.

That said Ya Ya, Nasri, Johnson and Aguero (when he came on) were all off colour.

A "typical City" throwback kick in the balls defeat, so ridiculous that we lost it was laughable, but we did. Maybe having the very sour taste still fresh in all our mouths will make playing so soon after not such a bad thing. We need a win on Tuesday terribly badly, and if we do so the garden will look a whole lot rosier again.

watchin the match BBC 2 how wank is Dzeko

[Longball]

mind u Aguero misses more on average

you can't expect one player to win the game buddy, city needs to work a lot more on team chemistry

the "team chemistry" is almost too fine. we can play one-twos all fucking day long with no goddam end product. These guys are fine chemistry-wise...but no one had that clinical moment or sense of worth to put the ball into the back of the net or create a chance that couldn't be denied. We were scoring easy goals early and often at the start of the campaign, but now teams are putting in a real fuclin shift defensively and we aren't scoring the "average" chances which are the best chances most teams see in a match. Can't blame teams for getting behind the ball. It's their only hope. And we don't have answers to break them down. Space and someone willing to have a crack from outside the box would have been nicer to see today instead of the tippy tap bullshit. How many times did you watch today where you were yelling "fucking shooooooot!" must have been 8 or so for me at least.

cheers

I think that is the problem too, we have creative players but not the creative game in attack, in my opinion. No through balls whatsoever no good crosses... i don't know man i hope we'll overpass the problems and take the title

[kinkylola]

don't really agree that we don't have a plan B ... but what plan would really work when they have 10 players inside their own box for 75% of the game?

we started with dejong barry yaya nasri johnson and dzeko up top ... we ended up with yaya barry silva johnson aguero dzeko and richards on the right bombing forward.

Maybe it's just me but that seems like 2 different plans. Bob also did not wait to make the switch, taking off dejong at halftime and nasri not long after, and kolarov not long after that. I think Bobby did everything he could to change the game, but a mixture of some bad luck, some mediocre performance on our part and diabolical anti-football from sunderland meant that we could not score, whilst they did with the last (offsides) kick of the game.

You simply cannot start a full strength team and then start the same team against liverpool 2 days later, and even though our hands were tied we still tried our very best to shake things up ... personally, I would have pulled dzeko off instead of de jong when aguero came on. Dzeko needs to get his head straight. and with dejong hanging back, barry and yaya could have pushed up farther into midfield.

[Dendza]

in my opinion mancini isn't the greatest manager either, i think that he could make better choices in terms of tactics

[Hazy2]

If our blip is dominating a game and somehow managing to lose it I take that, move on it was nutty weekend of results, beat the scousers with home games against all of the others, bring on the 2nd half and lets enjoy it, as we need to relax to win the league. no time for getting on the teams back, that is what ragnose is praying for.
