I'm not one to praise Martinez too often, but for what it's worth I think he's got his tactics spot on so far tonight.

He's trying to bore Sunderland to death, not just their players, the entire city.

Fair play.

Has Ross been training with Niasse?

 

[maccavennie]

just token efforts to win the ball back time and time again. I'm embarrassed for them because they look like 5 year old kids playing football for the first time and scared to go in and win it back

 

[jackyboy]

One nil here

 

[Billefc]

Keep Cleverley...keep Cleverley.

Never seen here on the pitch.

At least we get to see more and bigger tits on the pitch !

Why can't Barkley run? Is it the arse?

They said to him, just sit and occupy space on the centre circle. So the lad is beefing up as fast as poss to fill the whole thing

...'arses' mate. Three arses.

What the hell was that!

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA

 

[sageyefc]

With cleverly, Ross, McCarthy in front off you, no wonder our defence has no chance

 

[reidscrossgray]

Toss

Oh my eyes...

I joke about Barkley looking overweight but he's been appalling here.

Had such a promising start but has slipped back into his form last season.

What's that? 18 months good, 18 months bad. Needs a coach that will get the best out of him not give him a free reign to do what he wants. And get him into shape.

Hes utterly devoid of confidence. He has been mismanaged from start to bottom the last twelve months and carries the hopes of a whole fanbase on him.

I suggest fans get off his back as he is an unbelievable talent.
