The officially official Sunderland v City Thread.

[Beeks]

Brilliant second half...if it wasn't for a brilliant display by their keeper we would have won it comfortably but in the circumstances i'll take the point

[dazlebluefrog]

Santa Fucking Cruz.. he's not fit to wear the shirt!!

i agree mate must go down as the worst signing we have EVER made?? even steve daley was better than him

17 milllion!!!!!!!!!!!! He is definitely the worst transfer ever made at City. What a total waste of money.

[french_tony]

Could of been worse and thankfully Jinky's moment of class helped give us something. Lets hope Mancini learns something from this, stop starting out so fucking negative! As soon as we started to attack we looked so much better.

Still I would of taken 4 points from our last two games...we are still in it.

£38M well spent! Unbelievable amount of wasted money.

Gordon MotM. Well deserved in my opinion, we could've been 5 up if it wasn't for him.

Rednappe tipping AJ for a possible World Cup spot.

Did he actually pull off more than one good save? It was more poor finishing than him playing well

Mate, he stopped about 8 shots, even a deflected one. His positioning was perfect for every chance we had, and for a keeper, that's all you can ask.

If that was Shay, we'd all be licking his ring right now!

Several reaction saves...he was top draw...striker needs to get the shot off on target...we done that...he made the saves...stop talking shit

[ant london]

Saying that mate, it's one of the best second halves I've seen, without the goals.

Are you fucking mental mate???? The whole performance was a disgrace.

Team selection was an aberration

Tactics were feeble, inept and cowardly

Individual performances were woeful right through the team

Substitutions were shite in the case of RSC, overdue in the case of Johnson and debatable in the case of Vieira.

The more I see of Mancini's City the more I hate it. I have nothing against him personally, I actually think he's quite cool. But I think he is just as flawed (in different ways) as the man he was meant to be a step up in quality from.

That was an utterly dire frustrating cunt of a match.

we could sell rocky, jo and caicedo as a job lot for 5grand

I agree you could say that about the first half but the second!?!?!?!

You've been at the meths mate

[Swales4ever]

1-1 should have won it, 2 points dropped. Not good enough, at least we salvaged something.

IT WAS A DISGUSTING FIRST HALF..THE WORSE IVE EVER SEEN.

Yes. the worst I saw in 39 years of football.
And I am sure that You are gonna explain the board that is Mancini the guilty.
Indeed was him that had been simply unable to kick the ball for the whole first half.
indeed is Mancini guilty because we do not have an actual midfielder (edit: we have one 34 y.o. on free loan limited to 30 mins.).
Was this line up too defensive again?

The only positive is that when You grab a point in a game like this (including the unreal keeper) it is not typical City season.

Next game will be a sound victory, as the Lads will start to perform focused from minute one.

Keep faith and do not abuse me, because tonight I am in a terrible mood...

[The Original Special One]

Initial defensive set up has cost us that. Don't know why SWP wasn't taken off earlier either.

another Micah Richards article in the press this week wondering why Capello won't pick him
Somebody should send him the DVD

Vieira, to be fair, looked quite decent when he came on: perhaps we could consider starting with the lineup that finished the game.

But whither Ireland now?

Ha ha ha, if it's just goals you are looking at then you're probably right. As I said, second half was one of the best attacking performances I've seen without the goals. You are obviously talking about the overall game!

Agreed...he played well

vieira doesn't have the legs to play the entire 90 mins though

7 out of 8 were straight at him, his positioning was good but with the exception of the Tevez chance not top drawer saves. You also seem to have made the same mistake as most of our players today, a striker's job is to get it on target AND beat the keeper.

And a keepers job is to be in the right position to make the save...that's his job...so we will go back to the original point...well deserved MOTM
