Im not disputing what you are saying but it just reads wrong doesnt it

Yes, he cant go past players like he used to but he always worked back well. As he is not getting past defenders with the ease he used to he is getting back more.

All joking aside I still think he is a worthy player to have. He works hard defensively. As good as Adnan is shaping up to be he threw in some rash tackles and is very slight physically.

Altidore is like a less talented Emile Heskey.

Rayne Wooney

Jan showed a lot of fire today and put a lot of the senior players to shame.

Nervy 5 minutes now with United parking the bus

RVP doesn't look fit does he? Maybe its just of service but he seems really slow off the mark

He is looking like the player he was prior to his two good seasons.

Jones looks a different player in CD. Really impressive performance this second half. Hasn't had much to do but kept his concentration and put in some timely tackles/interceptions.

He is useful but against a very small % of opponents. Our wingers should be more offensive against the vast majority of teams. Hopefully Moyes has seen this

He looks like a player starved of service. We may be winning this but we've created feck all opportunities.

Shocking miss.

RVP :eek:

Hank Scorpio

what a miss good play by Valencia

Paul Tergat

I was sure Robin was off. On his left side he scores

Owen_S

RVP is broken :O

LostBoy101

Sitter..

Turtyturd

Getting the death stare from Moyes.

RVP is in the process of being "past it".

JRant

Jans with MOTM. Go collect your winnings good sir.

He's doing all he can up front on his own. I feel sorry for the guy. He's proven over the last couple of seasons for club and country that he can do the business. He'll just never get a proper chance at Sunderland.

Sunderland doing a 'Utd' and sitting far to deep in the second half. They did the same against Liverpool. Not much Altidore can do all on his lonesome.

Paully D

Over 45,000 in attendance. Absolutely crazy how much support this shower of shite get. The fans deserve so much better.

Great Cleverly moment there, would rather run to the sideline and try waste time than take a punt at an open goal from the halfway line.

Did the right thing IMO.

JRant

A win was the most important thing today, job done.
Now lets push on from this.

adox

Thank **** for that.

Kudos to Moyes for starting Adnan.

Still a huge amount to sort out to as well though.

Turtyturd

Sunderland with only themselves to blame, had plenty of chances to put the game beyond United.

elchupanebrey

Thank God for this result. Mite actually watch MOTD for once tonight

titan18

At least we got a win, but still nowhere good enough against that Sunderland team

Danye

Better 2nd half from us. But more conviction about our play going forward. Two good goals from the young lad although O'Shea set him up lovely for the second.

Even Cleverly done all right in fairness.

We were still poor though by our standards. Only for those two goals we looked capable of creating nothing. Disappointing to see Valencia come on.

3 points but the performance was poor again. Onto the next one..

Exactly, a lot more work to do.

At least it will quiten the obsessives for a while.

Fanny Biscuit

Made hard work of that after the early goal. Adnan was class, two great goals. RVP and Rooney disappointing today, not happening for either or working together at the moment.

Off out to the pub on a happier note after that result

spiralism

We're still **** and the football is atrocious and boring. Januzaj is neither ****, nor boring.

Today in a nutshell.

That_Guy

Pretty dreadful game overall. Sunderland look so sloppy. It's like watching Newcastle... in a different kit... in a different ground.... :pac:

Nice. Buy a phone charger with some of the winnings

Funny this thread. If we'd have lost it would be buzzing with activity.

ABU's not happy tonight

A win is a win,same problems exist but at least the international break will take the attention away for a while.

Nice win. Have to ask Blatter, what's the etoo and nani bets? Are they still ongoing?

The Nani one was for man of the match today as well, thought 16/1 was too high. The Eto'o one is an each way bet for him to finish top goalscorer in the league, 50/1. Not got off to the best of starts!

Chagan

Good result and a positive team selection, performance left a lot to be desired. Onwards and upwards we go.
