Sunderland v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Fergal]

We've looked good at times going forward, N'Zogbia is having his best game for us and Gabby is the best player on the pitch, but we've looked nervous at the back.

This thread, as ever, only seems to focus on the negatives.

Agreed, Chris.

Sounds like thee is plenty to focus on, good and bad. Mostly bad.

Crikey.

Bruce has got a right old gut on him

[CJ]

Need to try and get some early pressure on Westwood

Heskey in Elbow Storm in papers tomorrow.

Everything about Villa summed up in that move there that ended all the way back on our 18 yard line.

[pauliewalnuts]

Warnock is so frustrating.

He has a decent spell and starts to look the part, but goes and does something stupid like that.

[kippaxvilla2]

I've seen them given.

[Dave]

Why was that a free-kick against N'Zogbia?

[citizenDJ]

We've made a good start to the second half, much quicker moving the ball around.

[Mister E]

Our defending at corners is grizzly, to say the least.

[bertlambshank]

Sunderland are a very side.We look just as bad.

[CJ]

Why are we so shit at corners?

[Mister E]

Well played, Herd; but what a crap corner from Petrov again.

[Dante Lavelli]

Right time to get Heskey off.  He has played well but I bet there is nothing left in the tank.  Ireland on to add some finesse whilst we seem to be having some of the ball (until I started writing this)

[Rigadon]

Two expensively assembled painfully average sides.  I'm struggling to care
