Katie Borkins 1 Posted April 16, 2016 Sam Allardyce sitting there smugly, his great gaping maw chewing on gum. He looks like a Churchill Dog cuddly toy after a pit bull''s been at it.On another subject, what is the point of Naismith? Such high hopes, and so little in return.

YorkshirePudding 0 Posted April 16, 2016 Except iron-stan that we create a chance for Mbokani through on goal and was fouled by Kaboul, pen not given so yes we can partly blame marriner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ginja 26 Posted April 16, 2016 We have about as much attacking threat as a wet paper bag, only way we could have a chance to score is if the ref gives us a penalty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John 0 Posted April 16, 2016 We''ve thrown in the towel too many times when it counted, whether it was against an Aston Villa team rooted at the bottom of the table, a Palace side with no wins in 14 and a dreadful home record, or today. In addition midtable teams such as Bournemouth, Swansea, Watford, Stoke and Southampton simply found it too easy to cast as aside at times.Combine all that with plain bad fortune, against the likes of Liverpool at home or Newcastle away, and you have a perfect recipe for relegation.It''s early days to call it but i can''t help shrug off the niggling feeling that it just wasn''t meant to be.Today''s the day i have one eye looking beyond the horizon and another campaign in the Championship. In the event of relegation i honestly hope Alex Neil could ride the undoubted stream of * he''d likely have coming his way and continue building at the helm of the club.

im spartacus canary 0 Posted April 16, 2016 Just have to accept we are not good enough, when you look at it in the cold light of day Sunderland have better players and a better manager than us. That said it was a shocking performance 😈 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willmeister 35 Posted April 16, 2016 The lineup was all wrong. Playing with Jarvid and Naismith is like playing with 9 men. Neither of them contribute anything. Another £8.5m signing scoring on his debut and then looking like a lost boy. We certainly pick ''em. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted April 16, 2016 We needed to start with pace. It was crying out for Redderz to start, and by half time, it was obvious we needed Jerome on.BT sport reckoned that Brady was tactical, if so, it should have been Naismith who went off, thought he was shocking.

YorkshirePudding 0 Posted April 16, 2016 No guts, wrong tactics, playing direct when that would always suit sunderland. Couldn''t beat their first press most of the time. Losing the second ball almost every time. Shocking.We''ve lost the last two games and not scored in either, a bit worrying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmericanNorwichFan 0 Posted April 16, 2016 No passion at all. Where has the high pressing gone? The lighting attacks and interpassing? We looked like we could sleepwalk through the game. Redmond and Hoolahan need to play every game they can. We look toothless without them. Missed Klose today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willmeister 35 Posted April 16, 2016 I don''t quite know what formation we were playing in the second half. Seemed like 1-2-2-4-1. We had seemingly no plan. It was like in the Mike Bassett film when he makes a sub and the guy asks him what he wants him to do and Bassett replies ''I don''t know, do what you want, run around a bit.''The fact of the matter is we can''t seem to come from behind. The minute that penalty went in it was game over. There was no passion no desire and we were beat from the 40th minute. Were beaten to the second ball all day long.Yes Marriner was an embarrassment, but not as much as the players out there today. Redmond and Olsson the only players who can come away with any credit.

AmericanNorwichFan 0 Posted April 16, 2016 I counted 3 times Howson made a lung bursting run 70 yards to stop a Sundeland player bound in on goal. Player of the season for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clever Farke 64 Posted April 16, 2016 Shambles without Klose. the balance was wrong today, we needed to start with Redmond and get up the frighing park. Having said that, yet another cyclops ref did us in. We can''t give up, as long as we have Klose back we have a chance. Could come down to goal diff and we messed it up big time. Still, Boro celebrated too early and that is probably the only other straw to cling to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SeattleCanary 0 Posted April 16, 2016 What a load of rubbish. We hadn''t done the double over anyone this season, so as much as I had hope I knew this was coming. No clean sheet? Play Norwich and change that stat lol. All too predictable. We never even looked like scoring. Win and we''d stay up, a draw would''ve taken it to the seasons end, but when you take nothing from palace and then today you''re only going one way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essjayess 307 Posted April 16, 2016 Today City played pretty much how they have most the season,a decent Championship team struggling to cope with the quality of the Premier. and with way to many players from past seasons who just cannot cut it at this level. From the 1st match of the season, relegation was always most likely. now its inevitable, despite what the optimists still think. 18th is what ive said since the start, and 33 points max, i repeated this after the Southampton win, some poked a bit of fun saying still 19 games to go, but with just 8 points from the last 15 games, its your standard 2nd half of the season collapse from City, which is becoming consistent at least.Rubbish performances, rubbish results mainly and to many rubbish players. City need a big big clear out in the close season before we face the Leeds and Wolves and yes our neighbours down the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
