Same again! First half lots of closing down! Not real quality apart from cats and the little man! Although I do like celustka at right back! Second half same old s----! OShea really needs to work on passing and distribution of the ball! Roberge looked good! Tracking back shocking ki could stopped that goal! And the closing down in second the half not good! Just look at Rooneys endless running in the second half even for lost causes! That's the quality and desire I want from sunderland! The pace they have when in possession is brilliant! Utd I mean? Sorry kev!

Adam Johnson should never play again after that gutless performance, he's a weak as John Oster was when someone tried to bully him. Bally is absolutely not a manager. Were kidding ourselves by praising our performance, it was weak and soft and we lost to a team who are not at the top of there game and didn't come out of 2nd gear. just like Liverpool. The players who were here last season and now this are an absolute disgrace and had the cheek to drive a manager out who at least wanted to win. The fans can support there club like they always do but should let the majority of the players including John o'shea be in no doubt they are a disgrace to our club. And Margaret Byrne out as well, talks complete nonsense, bleeding money everywhere yet did we really spend that much in the summer? Not really. Shocking and I love my club, my city but were going down like we deserved last season and its disgusting.

Yes, Johnson was generally poor, though he did set up one good chance. He is obviously talented yet he spends such long periods out of the game we might as well have ten men. Defence comic again- looked like statues for the first goal- O'Shea as usual shouting at others when out of position himself. Second came from another O'Shea howler- a beautifully cushioned header inviting the volley. The centre back pairings we put out would not be in a good championship team, and Altidore, while strong, has little positional sense and very poor ball control. Usual excuses and dross about effort and spirit- I suppose you have to say that when you roll over every week. Truth is we got gifted a lead and could not hang onto it. Ball's selection and substitutions suggest he has no idea how to set up a team that can compete- nice man and genuine, but genuinely not good enough.

Ive said this for ages about Johnson for ages his all round performance is poor along with flo must be one of our worst buys ever. as for Cattermole and gardener whoever gets the job please can they give them some coaching on how not to give the ball away their distribution stats must be worst in league as for o'shea do I need to say anymore

Totally agree.
Give someone else a chance, Johnson has had his. He was bloody awful and this rubs off on other players.

Sunderland get the first game on MOTD for 3 weeks in a row; unless I am mistaken, surely that is a new record.

Bally says others have been better in training that's why cabral and diakite have not been picked that must go for celustka as well you can't tell me cuellar, larsson and gardner are a better choice worried for the future.

Wonder how ledley king and paul McGrath ever got picked
