Cana and Cattermole were immense again today, love watching Sunderland when we have players like these two in the middle of the park. Ran the show from about the half hour mark onwards, the same way as they did at Bolton last saturday and reckon they will give most midfield pairings in the prem a run for their money this season.
They definitely look the part, just need kieran and steed to vary there game abit and get out wide more often and we have the makings of a quality midfield
I hate Cattermole & that Cana is another midfielder you could hate. Bit like David Batty If they were on my team I would love them Going in hard as fuck & roughing it up a bit. Mint. Shame they play for you's! Otherwise, I think there cunts. Especially Cattermole, who gets beat up quiet often in the Yarm (the nice bit near Boro)
Hardly - he cant have been down to Yarm for about 3/4 years as is banned from all the bars down there He showed a lot to me yesterday about his temperament though, as in the first half he was booked for trying to kill Lars Jacobsen around the half way line with a 2 footed challenge. Had he caught him he would probably have been off. Diouf started having a go at him and getting in his face, and you could tell he was wound up and i thought at that point could end up getting sent off. Then the players went off at half time and i said then that it will be a test for him to see how he handles the second half, and he came out and ran the middle of the park, channelling his aggression into that and wouldn't have anything to do with Diouf etc trying to wound him up. Hes only a young lad though hes really impressed me the 3 games ive seen him in this week, hes a much better player than i ever thought he was at boro or wigan.
We seen him there after the Wigan game when his tackle injured Joey Barton, he was in the Ketton Ox (think thats what its called) I dont think he ventured anywhere for a box that night tho Its just the general crack down there that someones best mate / cousin / dog handler seen him get kicked to fuck a few times for being mouthy, I just assumed it was a monthly accourance the amount of different times ive heard about
I was really impressed with him when he was at Wigan, looked a totally different player to what he was at Boro. At Boro he was just a thug in football boots. I think a lot of that has to do with Steve Bruce Ive seen the odd highlight (watching with envy) & he has looked good. He looked a bit out of his depth against Lampard but I think thats down to how well Chelsea & Lampard played He is a cracking signing like
We lack a AMR at the moment. Stead Malb can do a job there but hes only got 45 mins in his legs these days. Maybe we have got a youth to help out there this season but it needs addressing in the long run
He's deffo barred like, Him and Matty Bates can't drink anywhere in Stockton LA which includes Billingham, Thornaby and Yarm area's. It's one of the reason he got sold. He had a bad attitude was out getting pissed all the time trouble causing late for training etc so they shipped him out. Seem's Bruce sorted him out at Wigan and sorted his attitude out a bit.
He was with someone McMahon, plays for Boro now I think, Anthony maybe?? He knows my lass. Otherwise I would never have known it was him. Sitting in one of the booths at the back
