Stuff like that that particularly winds me up.

It's almost trendy to highlight the virtues of a manager whose very existence is built around coaching sturdy football, whereas a manager that coaches brave attacking football is pilloried should that adventure cost them a point or two.

Lambert failed massively at Villa through his own negative bottle. I don't think his Norwich team were that inventive, either.

I think his Norwich team was even worse.

I remember watching a few games when he was at helm and being bored out of my mind after 7 minutes.

 

[Salazar]

Twitter is going HAM over this Given save.
Yet to see it.

Would not look out of place on a De Gea highlights reel.

 

[Hixx]

He's throwing it

I fucking hate him

He's dropped O'Shea and is playing youth

I can't believe it.

 

[Vivalaraza]

He's throwing it

I fucking hate him

He's dropped O'Shea and is playing youth

I can't believe it.

:lol

Poor Hixx

[Hixx]

Huge surprises in #SAFC team - no O'Shea, Larsson, Johnson, Rodwell, Alvarez or Defoe. Hmmmm......

 

[L1NETT]

NO DEFOE

OH BABY

pls

our side tis

Williams, Darby, McArdle, Davies, Meredith, Liddle, Morais, Knott, Clarke, Hanson, Stead

 

[Yen]

Delph proving he's no Oracle with that mistimed jump

 

[Hixx]

Wait

Apparently someone has been trolling the journos

So we still don't know the SAFC team.

 

[FortuneFaded]

NO DEFOE

OH BABY

pls

our side tis

Williams, Darby, McArdle, Davies, Meredith, Liddle, Morais, Knott, Clarke, Hanson, Stead

You got this.

 

[Freewheelin']

Sunderland are gonna lose

 

[L1NETT]

Mannone, Jones, van Aanholt, Brown, O’Shea ©, Bridcutt, Larsson, Johnson, Alvarez, Fletcher, Graham

hmmmmmm

alvarez and johnson

tad scary

 

[Hixx]

Mannone, Jones, van Aanholt, Brown, O’Shea ©, Bridcutt, Larsson, Johnson, Alvarez, Fletcher, Graham

No Defoe but I like the midfield.

 

[dc89]

Wait

Apparently someone has been trolling the journos

Does Gus even know the team?

 

[moojito]

Apparently Delph has to make more forward.

 

[Hixx]

Honeyman on the bench too. I've gone from despair to intrigued within 5 minutes

Standard match day for a Sunderland fan really but still

 

[Vivalaraza]

Savage ripping into Tom.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Ref plays advantage until Hutton gets the ball

Good decision

 

[Hixx]

Villa make the worst decisions.

 

[mellz]

that was a red imo

 

[Hixx]

Pearce is such a bad commentator. He's Motson levels of confused despite being 15 years his junior.

 

[Yurt]

Hahaha surprised Donadoni is turning up for press conferences

9 points all season, fucking single digits :lol the press is just toying with him at this point, stay at home Bob

 

[Freewheelin']

Holy shit Clevgod actually passed forward

#thesherwoodeffect

 

[dc89]

The power of Tim compels them.

 

[Hixx]

THE TACTICS

THEY HAVE WORKED

 

[moojito]

Sherwood goes into the dressing room at half time.
Turns the arrow on the tactics board the other way around.

The revolution has begun.

 

[GorillaJu]

OMG those two Villa fans celebrating in front of the camera. Can anyone gif them?

 

[Arnie]

YES TIM

 

[Freewheelin']

:lol

Nice shot from Bacuna

 

[Hixx]

Lambert killed Benteke.

 

[Freewheelin']

Benteke you idiot

 

[dc89]

Savage is a tool isn't he.
Complains all match that Leicester need to take a centre half off and switch to a more attacking formation. They do just that and then concede.

"They conceded because they took off a centre half."

 

[GorillaJu]

So offside it's not even worth showing the replay :lol

 

[Yurt]

I can easily pinpoint the Romans in the crowd

they have a certain 'look'

 

[Hixx]

rest in pieces benteke

Schlupp's reaction to that tackle was priceless.

 

[dc89]

What a touch by Given then, just to palm it away.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Sums the man up. I lol'd when I heard him say that.

 

[Hixx]

HUUURRRRRRR WHAT A TOUCH BY CONCRETE RON THERE

This cunt. He's horrific.

 

[Gareth Bale]

So many times Delph has space ahead of him to run into but all he knows is to pass it. No Villa players in space so he just gives it to the full back instead of drawing the Leicester players out of position himself. Pussy. Cleverley the same.

Too many Premier League midfielders that won't take someone on because they're scared of losing it.

Decent game now. I almost went back to Evolve.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Danny Graham has 11 goals in his last 71 league matches, 6 of them in the Championship. Haven't got a clue what he's doing at a PL team.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Sunderland should fire poyet and hire Lambert

 

[Mr.Marston]

Sunderland should fire poyet and hire Lambert

But Poyet is a better manager than Lambert.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

What a time to be Wes.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Sinclair lives. What a goal.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

That keeping



Fucking hell.

 

[dc89]

Tim is magic.

 

[Freewheelin']

lmao

that is SHIT goalkeeping

 

[dc89]

What am I watching :lol

 

[Tc91]

Tactics Tim has got Clevz passing forward and Scott Sinclair scoring in his first game.
