Really am not swayed by the hate thrown at Adebayor. 21/23 passing today, but his aerial ability (again) in the box was poor. Still, I do think Mignolet deserves credit for both "sitters" Ade missed. I haven't looked at the first one again, but it looked like a terribly clumsy position in the first place. And for the second, Mignolet kicked out his leg for the save—precisely what you'd expect from a good goalkeeper, the type who'd shut out Man City, say.
He's been good at distributing the ball, I think, but we just remember the lack of goals. Perspective, folks.

The thing about Adebayor is that there is such a small chance of us replacing him with someone better. Sure he is out of form but we've continually been blocked from going after top strikers due to price and wages. Do people really believe there is a better realistic option out there.
Plus, hasn't it been proved time and time again that form is temporary? People forget so quickly how good Ade was last year. Overall, it is counterproductive to give up on Ade when there is such a minimal chance of a better replacement. Nonsensical really.

A little googling reveals it to be not so much "invest in Africa" as "invest in an Irish oil exploration company headquartered in London and currently trying to avoid paying VAT in Uganda". Nice.
3 points at the Stadium of Light is always an achievement.
Gotta say outside of Adebayor I thought we looked really good today. Disappointed that Defoe couldn't finish off the game but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on his season's form. Lennon was class, Bale was class, Lloris looking like the world class keeper we were expecting. Naughton was also very impressive on his weak side, and I am starting to think that if we ever get Benny back he should be given a go at RB.
Performance-wise I've gotta say it's the most convincing we've looked for quite some time. Things are slowly going our way and the results speak for themselves. Monsters away from home!

Also, Mourinho:
"Modric is still having some small problems, especially when playing two consecutive matches in three days," he said. "Each time we pick him twice in a row his performance has not been the best."

The ref had his card out before Bale had got up off the deck, he couldn't wait to book him - he didn't even consult his linesman to get their opinion.......which on such a big call in the match is ridiculous.
The reaction of the Sunderland defender should have given him some indication as well, he went over to lend his hand to help him up......if he thought Bale was cheating there is no way he'd react like that.
Who's on the 08:15?
No doubt Carlito would get involved....
My booked tickets are for 0812, get in!! I'll see you and

We've got Gallas who is too old to play two games in a week and Caulker who is too inexperienced to play every game.
He's split up his strongest two and weakest two, it's a calculated risk.
