thebluenose Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 but still Arteta is a great player on the wing. lets hope he can get a goal himself or set up a goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 WRITE UP OF THE GAME...........UNBIASED. Sunderland (0) 0 Everton (0) 1 "It's time to go McCarthy; you're rubbish," screamed a Sunderland fan at the final whistle and chairmen have been known to sack managers after performances as moribund as this. Indeed if Bob Murray finally decides that, even though relegation now looks inevitable, it could be worth finding a coach, who unlike Mick McCarthy, is into psychology, sports science and knows how to play the overseas transfer market to advantage, few would condemn him. The former Ireland coach made the mistake of buying in bulk but neglecting to sign quality in the summer and it summed up Sunderland's season when Tim Cahill's 90th-minute header secured Everton a potentially precious win in their fight against relegation. Not that David Moyes's struggling team were much better. "How bad was that,?" inquired one spectator of another as the half-time whistle blew and he certainly had a point. It was shocking stuff from two teams desperately short of confidence - Sunderland having won just once in the Premiership all season and Everton arriving on a losing streak which had seen them concede 11 goals in their previous three games - and, at times, almost comically error prone. McCarthy had demanded that his Sunderland players act as "toughies not tarts" and they duly applied elbow grease to pursuing possession but an alarming lack of touch and guile once on the ball invariably saw them either swiftly lose it or use it wastefully. Everton were similarly disappointing and watching James Beattie, his £6 m centre forward comfortably contained by central defenders as slow and shaky as Gary Breen and Steve Caldwell, it appears that Moyes has bought almost as badly, but far more expensively, than McCarthy. Sunderland substitute Anthony Le Tallec forced Martyn into his first proper save of the afternoon in the 52nd minute. Shortly after that, Moyes had to be forcibly pulled back off the pitch after setting off in an an apparently incandescent stomp in the direction of his defence after Liam Lawrence was allowed to advance unchecked before shooting narrowly wide. Suddenly, the force was with Sunderland and the luckless Jon Stead featured in two similarly fractionally off-target finishes before Moyes drew the sting from McCarthy's men by releasing Duncan Ferguson from the bench. The Scot not only won everything that came his way in the air but belatedly brought Beattie out of his shell. Indeed, up until Ferguson's introduction Sunderland's Julio Arca and Danny Collins had arguably been the best individuals but the substitute's penchant for creating havoc paid off when Kevin Kilbane, late of Sunderland, swung in a 90th-minute corner and Ferguson's aerial decoy work enabled Cahill to head the winner. Ironically although Moyes's men have been awarded more corners than any Premiership side this was only the third goal they have scored from such a set piece. © Copyright of Telegraph Group Limited 2005.

thebluenose Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 thats how i see it. we won and it hopefuly it is a confidence booster. with arteta back for the charlton game it might add some creativity and pace on the wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Wooo 3 points at last, we, by all account were rubbish, but its 3 points. Well see what happens against Charlton, hopefully things might start to click. On the other hand it might just show us up for how crap we are, we'll see When you look at the table, we are only 6 points from 10 place, but 3 points from the drop zone, so I think its going to be a long second half to the season Wonder who we will get in the January Sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
