Thanks for coming on and trying to take some of the joy out of our victory, but when we win 3-0 away from home, we tend to praise the side.

I can't imagine there's anything I could say that would take the shine off any 3-0 away win, but I just call it as I see it from our perspective. If we keep blowing up like that in games, for no reason, we will be down at Christmas.
 

I've said it every time I've seen him to be honest - pound for pound the most overrated player in the division. He might just be unlucky in that I've only seen bad days, but I'm just not seeing what all the hype is about. You were twice the side when he went off.

Nah he's not overrated, he's a class act who just happens to be a bit pants occasionally. The consistency will come.
 
With all due respect mate, until we pressed self destruct that was a boring stalemate of a game. That's the worry from our perspective.

The other side of the coin goes that as soon as we got the first you were destined to collapse. Your main chance of the goal (only real one) came from an offside position and we look far more threatening throughout. Certainly just seemed a matter of time in the second half as we were well in control of the game.

We don't play too well away from home, so when we play quite well and comfortably see a game out, the team deserve some players. You say it was a boring stalemate of a game but we could have had 6 on another day. Really shocking performance and Moyes has some job considering his tactics rely on having a defence who are steady, something of which none of your back four give me any confidence in him being able to.

Unfortunately it's a horrid position. I like Sunderland, I dislike Moyes.
 

Really made up with the performance - especially after the break - and result. Clean sheet and a hat-trick for Rom are the icing on the cake.

The cherry on said icing would be that little Sunderland fan getting the medical treatment they're trying to raise money for. Shook me up a bit watching him as he looked a proper sweet little guy, and I just hope it ends well for the poor lad.
Looks like Everton have sorted out the funds for his treatment. £200k donation.

I'm not surprised tho in all honesty as were absolute class at this stuff.
We build and find schools for Christ sake and it doesn't get a mention.
 
Depends on your perspective I suppose. We were comfortable for an hour then out of nothing hit the "pub team" switch.


The warning signs were there in the first half when Rom put his header straight at your 'keeper.

The first two goals were quality crosses, absolute mares to try to defend. The third was an excellent defence-splitting pass. Add to Rom hitting the crossbar also, and it was quality play from us in the second half.

You won't have every team you play turning it on like that in a 45 minute spell. At present, I think there will be 3 teams worse off than you at the end of the season. I expect Moyes to sort out the defensive side of things over a period of a couple of months.
