Yaya has been class this half

[BlueMoonAwoken]

Tevez is a greedy cunt and Mancini should have a word.

On his performance in the first half Id take him off and put Ade in........

Yaya looking to link up with tevez but the same favour not being returned by tevez, but i suppose that makes a good striker? but for me the good of the team comes before personal glory.

I think the floodgates will open in the 2nd half.

Yaya is our missing link, he pulls it all together, a fantastic old fashioned midfielder who can do everything, pace, skill, defensive skill, passing through the eye of a needle, shooting power, through balls, desire.

Get him cloned

i agree...he's my fave new player this season by a long mile. i love his game and his style. Plus he's a brick shithouse. All that plus size...any resemblance to someone else on the team come to mind? just sayin. Him plus De Jong makes my vagina leaky.

cheers

Are Sunderland playing at home? Whats with all this parking the bus...Shitbags.

[ronk]

we look like we're capable of dropping the three points today if we aren't careful. And maybe careful is the wrong word...if we aren't focused. Tevez's miss was just ridiculous, but what can you do...sometimes it happens.

what i don't like is how much they look like getting behind our back four...i'm more worried about conceding one here than i am in missing another chance. We've missed a couple chances, so likelihood is that we'll bury one second half if we keep pressing.

Come on CITY!

Clever from the goalie, he put Tevez off by appealing for offside and stopping playing. Shouldn't lose focus though, but what can you do.

Fuck, I hate Bruce. Flying dangerously into challenges, shouting at the ref for calling bad tackles and rolling around on the ground repeatedly then getting up. It's always the same story with them.

He is paddy back in his arsenal 5 million game unbeaten "the invincible's" days.

With the sheikhs money its surely not out of the question.

I agree though, yaya is different class.

Agreed he is just immense, complete midfielder.

Ireland injuerd in the warm up for Villa. Replaced by Reo-Coker.

All we have to do is keep playing like this all season & we'll finish top 3 imo. You can't legislate for misses like that & Toure's effort was pretty poor too but the football in every area has been absolute top quality. Hopefully we won't pay for those mistakes (we are after all playing away from home & would expect the home side to get a chance).

If I have one criticism it's that we need to shoot more from the edge of the box but this is quality stuff.

Whatever happens today, win lose or draw, just keep going like this, add the new players, & we're in business.

What a shocking miss by Tevez...anyone else dreading that we will lose 1:0 now?

No Tevez will make up for it with a 25 yard thuderbolt like the one at the world cup!

[dazby]

Patience lads. We are still gelling remember???? We will have a very comfy 2-0 win here. We're looking good.

[Craig B]

Remember the last time we played Sunderland away? What a contrast that first half was compared to last time - let's hope there's a happy ending though. Very decent half so far.

Think there putting us under too much pressure at the edge of there area to do this.

surely that's not Karma. sigh. i really don't wish ill will on him...sad really. he's going to be a tragic figure for Villa. They'll rue the day they sent Milner to us to help us fill the cupboard and got Stevie in return. it will be a classic mistake they talk about in 20 years i'm guessing. but it was unavoidable really...if i were them i'd have done the same thing honestly.

cheers

sorry to be pedantic just passing the half time interval...

We've had the chance to hit it 1st time on many occasions but not even considered it. Scholes would love some of those positions.

Come on lads

Welbeck and Bardsley on
