I have to say, the line up here was really a "huh?" Even Sam commented on it before the game - he expected an attacking 4-3-3 and got a 3-5-2. I understand the desire not to completely be overrun in midfield, but leaving Johnson on the bench??
Wickham with a beautiful through ball for Borini, who puts it into the side netting outside the goal.
Pretty surprised he is not turning to Altidore against tired defenders, but maybe this will be good for him. He can sit here watching how the team operates with two whole forwards out there, realize he needs to take the ball for himself and realize the team needs him to do it. Like they need damn breathing.
Okay, yeah. Poyet is a dingdong. Bring in Scocco, umm okay, fine. For Ki instead of one of those five bumblers defensive players? Sweet Moses, man. What good is 60% of the ball if half your players are those guys?
I think Poyet is one of the only ones ready for this level. I don't think Sunderland are blessed with quality players. And when i see Martinez at Everton while being in relegation fights at Wigan i think there are quality managers with crap untalented teams.
Jozy on as a sub and..... as I type this SCORES... GOAAALLL JOZY!!!!!!! APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!! Or at least it will be here in Doha in 15 mins..... Anyhoo, jk 2-1 West Ham.. still no sign of Jozy....
It would be appropriate if Mannone got the equalizer. He's the only reason they're even close to staying up.
