** Official SAFC vs Palace Match Thread **

It's a sad state when we are calling for Jozy to come on to save us.

Lord help us.

Not really, Altidore has proven he is perfect in the role of occupying physical defenders, he has the ability to make space and lay off nice passes to players running off him. Given the congestion, this is what we need.

 

[sonson]

Can't stand teams that just look to grind out a 0-0 away from home.
It's pathetic.

Its not pathetic man! a draw away from home is a good result. They're e ntitled to playing for a point you know they don't have to oblige us.

 

[CraigyLee]

I'm not getting the Larsson slagging either. He's doing well

Smacked a ball out of play and couldn't control a ball after a palace fuck up.... Then fouling them in the process

All he's done

 

[Church]

I'd get Dozy on, just to chuck his weight around and hopefully make space for someone who can finish.

And to think i got slagged off in Jan when I was screaming out for us to sign a striker.

hahahaha he's far from f***ing perfect but I agree he's the best we've got

 

[CraigyLee]

Altidores the only sunderland player warming up at half time with a coach looks like he's coming on

 

[sksk3021]

At least they all look fresh from their little rest last week

Another 45 mins and you will be moving back to London!

He doesn't add anything that's why. He's given the ball away when he hasn't needed to.
Balls in the box is a given. We need people to create an bring something to the game.

He'll be better than Fletcher like

There was talk about making 0-0 1 point. A score draw 2 points and a win 4 points

Has proven?

Nice bit of quote mining to take what I said out of context.

That's shite

 

[jcrossan]

Altodore will be on second half. For a striker that can't score he's somehow in a position to yet be a saviour. Shows what absolute pap we have at centre forward

 

[ChicagoCat]

Bridcutt did very well there.

Might have been our best man on the pitch, aside from Johnson.

Thought Sunderland looked good overall. Lots of possession and even a few times looked dangerous in the box. Fletcher looked good until he injured himself again.

Keep that up and they'll score in the second half. Crystal Palace isn't very good at all.

Agree with most except the Fletcher part, and the we'll score part.

As you may now realize, our favorite striker is often the one on the bench. Fletcher is atrocious. Jozy is our hero, now that he hasn't played for 2 weeks.

 

[Gaz]

Good, he might create a bit more space for borini or johnson to score

 

[hertsmackem]

Jozy will rough them up, its what we need if Fletch is off


but he wont chase for the ball

 

[sksk3021]

Best part of £40m of strikers and we are reduced to this.

 

[Arthur Mullardo]

69% us v 31% them....worra team.
