Good enough performance in the end. Hauling Di Maria off improved us.

No, I'm saying he's useless most of the time and it's not worth to play him. He contributes little to our team, this penalty doesn't change anything.

Alright, champ. I'm no-where near death's door, and I'm sure the same's true for you, so let's do the post-mortem at a later date. I'm still confident that we're going to see more of the Falcao who conjured up that penalty, and more frequently.

My MOTM is Januzaj.
His introduction completely changed the complexion of the game.
Today, he was the game changer.

Almost scored too. Good decision by LvG to sub him on but i wonder what's Di Maria is thinking right now?

Hopefully it will encourage him to do well next time.

I cant help feel that we do play better without Di Maria.
Same with Falcao and RVP.
It seems that we suffer when we have to change our formation to accommodate our "Galacticos".

And? Play Rooney as a CF with Mata behind.

So Falcao didn't win the penalty today then? Give the guy a chance.

it is a 4-2-3-1. Dont know why some on here suggest 3-5-2.

Should that have actually been offside? Considering that he didn't influence play until the keeper kicked it into him.

No offside, new situation. Herrera got robbed there.

Exactly the same performance as we witnessed last week; only difference being, we scored the all important goal.

What? Quote where I said that please.

In fact, I just praised him for winning the penalty but that's all he did today, most of the game Wes Brown had the better of him. The guy's had lots of chances to prove himself and in my opinion he doesn't deserve to start ahead of Mata, that's all.

Blind is good but he is no Carrick. Our midfield is still unbalanced. We look so vulnerable when we lose possession without Carrick in midfield

Movement upfront is still an issue. We could have scored more goals from Young crosses but all forwards were static

Well I disagree.No bother mate, people can hold opposing views.

Well I really, really hope Sunderland get relegated this season after watching that dross. Those tactics from Poyet's side were disgraceful, and it was almost like he was relying on us not being able to break them down in order to take home a point.
We had 75% possession for god's sake. 75. Barca would have struggled to get that much in their "tiki-taka" prime.

On another note, it's a shame Smalling cant play consistently like he did today. If so he'd be a guaranteed starter in our team with that kind of gutsy play bringing the ball out from the back. (Even though he didn't have much to defend against today)

Shame that it was Jonny on the end of both of those back-pass booings but inside the stadium it wasn't a revolt against Mr. Evans, just against the extremely negative play style.

RedDevil@84 · Mar 1, 2015

It is shameful to boo our player at home, regardless of what he does. If Evans comes out saying the manager has asked him to back-pass instead of taking risks, will we boo LvG every time we see him. It is ridiculous.
