My 2 cents... We didn't look bad on the 1st half, or better, we didn't allow them too much. Maybe this time, thanks to their lesser quality compared to ManU or Southampton, we did not only sit deep but also tried to come forward from time to time. The problem is we're very bad in keeping the ball, so it's always a chase of the ball without much luck. I think Jedi did well but free kicks (why taking them?), also central defenders did fine. Ledley and Ward seemed insecure although no big mistakes. Dikgacoi very bad, cannot pass the ball, cannot retain it, giving it away when pressed, very bad really. Bolasie is a lucky man, as he's got pace and a great physique but his football brain is as big as a walnut. What he does (or does not) with the ball is shocking. What must have passed in his mind when he gave the free kick away will never be revealed unfortunately. Glenn Murray, to my big regreat, is miles off his best form. And this is a problem. He's yet to get one thing right today, always 2nd on the ball, always on the floor, never a right pass. At the moment we're missing Chamakh big time today, let's hope this helps him finding the best form sooner. The best footie management game: [Link]

Quote Canterbury Palace at 15 Mar 2014 3.50pm Usual stuff from us really. Minimal possession, sitting deep soaking up pressure, Jedi intercepting everything, we look fairly decent on the very rare occasion we get people forward and attack. If we end up nicking a 1-0 win then the ends will justify the means and we'll all be happy. The problem is that if we end up getting beaten and really made no effort to attack an ordinary Sunderland side there will be animosity towards our approach and lack of attacking intent. Edited by Canterbury Palace (15 Mar 2014 3.51pm) Good valid points. If they had somebody who knew where the net was they would be out of sight by now. Most of the teams that we have to play in the future do. Tactics/formation will have to change. “ [T]here are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.There are known unknowns; that is to say there are things that, we now know we don't know.But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know. ” —United States Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld

We're lucky to not be losing at half time - kind of hoping for a dodgy 1-0 win now.

Murray and other forwards should be wondering why do they bother going to training... Were not capable of playing football. At least not under Pulis. He should be the assistant who takes care of the defence only! Where's Bannan to play through passes to the wingers?! No he opts to play the oh so technical fat KG!

I expect us to get at them a lot more in the second half. I think that's the way it will be. This is the Pullis way. The big danger is the ref who I understand never showed a read card all season till this afternoon. '- Really? Honestly? Back in the USSR,,,you don't know how lucky you are.
