Not giving Sunderland an inch of respect today. Vile football orchestrated by a complete charlatan of a manager.
I'm sure he'll get over it.
We need to get used to it because it will be coming at us (or not) all season long. Old school, tracksuit, revolutionary, ball playing, bus parking, long ball, tika taka, kick n chase, whatever. Nobody is going to open up and play against us unless we take the lead.
At the moment with Lallana out and Couts looking at a long lay off we don't look equipped to do it week in week out. Today we took the win, last week we got the point. We need them back, and if we don't have them back we certainly need Dani to give us a different dimension.
It was a team of work horses out there in the end today. Not much there to open up a tight packed defence.
Still, back to the top we go.
