My stream is about 1 min behind as I am watching on the BT app and not the tv

Balotelli, the gift that keeps on giving.

Thank you, Brendan.

Turtyturd

Nobody can say Balotelli lacks effort...he's giving it his all to be worse than Andy Carroll.

To be fair from the start Brendan sounded less than enthused about us signing him.

Balloteli is devoid of ability

I actually think Sunderland could be relegated. This is a shocking performance. It's like they're not even managed at all.

murpho999

Can never understand "supporters" leaving a game at 86 mins when there is only one goal in it.

Turtyturd

MOTM there probably puts Markovic at 3rd best player in the league.

Dirty Steve

Bring Borini back on..

niallo27

That's ****ing brilliant from Lucas.

Sir Gallagher

Gman Lucas

Michael Owen's MOTM awards are so black and white.

Francie Barrett

Markovic easily the best player on the pitch today. Worked very hard and took his chance well.

Mr.Crinklewood

Only realizing now that Sunderland are down to.ten men.

What happened?

Newcastle bias.

Jordi Gomez plays like a 60 year old he has to be the slowest midfielder in the league.

A player got sent off.

niallo27

Have you ever seen a stadium empty like that at 1 nil.

Utopia Parkway

It will be nice to have some decent finishers back in the side. Missing so many chances in recent games.

SlickRic

Today should put to bed any notion that Lucas will leave.

Brilliant, when he shouldn't have had to be.

Yeah agree.

It was pretty easy today picking MOTM

Turtyturd

Great awkward leg from Cissokho

billymitchell

Here comes equalizer!

livinginkorea

Fight, fight fight!

Paully D

Pantilimon. :pac:

livinginkorea

Three points!

Turtyturd

Brilliant non loss.

Great stuff

machiavellianme

Yay! A win. I like them.

ricero

talk about making hard work of it

monkey9

Honestly, if we had played a team who tried to win today, they might have won.

keeponhurling

Excellent time wasting at the end by Markovic, got them over the line without the ref adding in any extra time to compensate.
Efficient!

breghall

5 off 3rd

livinginkorea

Not so sure how I feel about Stevie being there congratulating the lads

doney84

Clean sheet :eek:

... and if we scored 3 we would have won 3 - nil

With everyone else having a game in hand.

Like in the Leicester game - very very poor against the 10 man, lack of direction after gerrard went off

Lucas excellent but headless chickens like \sakho, Mignolet and Moreno could have cost us, not good enough to be hanging on at the end - same old mental fraility despite the three points

MonkeyTennis

3 delicious points

Oranage2

Good win, would have rather pool won 2 nil or a 1 - 1. Up to 8th now.

Ulysses Gaze

Sunderland are shocking. There was a real lack of fight in them today.

I can see them going down if they continue like that.

Unless the other team scored.

Poor game, Liverpool were decent enough first half and should have gone in with a few more at half-time but another really poor second half. Sunderland just didn't look up for it from the start.

Poyet resorted to blaming the ref from early on. The crowd has given up on them.

Charlie19

Great team spirit there.


With United playing Southampton, we're going to gain a little ground.

Wins in the 2 matches below them today and it'e very tight at the bottom.

With our defence... Unlikely :pac:

Is it time for him to go?

If he can't get the team to put a shift in, now would be the time.
