So the tactics were right and the players didn't follow instructions
Heard that before from Mr Allardyce

Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce, speaking to BBC Sport: "We looked frightened of going out to play. We didn't get to grips in midfield and we didn't go up against them. We picked a team to put them under pressure but we didn't really do that.
"When we gave them the first goal early it lifted the whole stadium. Right from the start we made life very difficult for ourselves. I was happy to get in at half-time just 2-0 down. The worrying thing for me is that again the personnel haven't carried out instructions and again I have had to change things. It’s not what you want to do but you have to react and for a time we were a little better, but then we did the most stupid thing of all which was to give them a penalty.
"After that we saw something like what we should be, we put them under a bit of pressure, but it was far too late.
"This performance didn't deserve anything but certainly against Watford and Arsenal we felt hard done by. My worry is that we are not picking up points with the performances, and that is what we have to turn around. If we can do some business in the January window it will help us.
"Every game that goes by without a point puts you deeper and deeper into the pressure pot."

Derby County had 7 points at Christmas when they were relegated with 11 points in 2007/8.
Their 7th point was from a draw at Newcastle on Dec 23

As said the water puddles only really noticeable in the last 10 minutes or so. Be interesting if the rain continues all through half time.
Can remember we were in the ground for a night match against Newcastle that was postponed due to PUDDLES. Was that within about 20mins to kick off?
Long trip for nothing for the Geordies.

Villa are a total shambles. Relegation to the championship will be too good for then. They will get weekly walloping there as well

Were they, now?
Now there's a little trivia point that really hits it home.
Incedible year they've had. Ever since Fergie told Pearson to get angry in post match interviews, and show them he cares.

With Mourinho lurking it could get interesting at Old Trafford. Seeing Giggs on the touchline just didn't look right. I reckon LVG could be gone by Christmas.
