Lee Cattermole

[joeinbrighton]

Fair enough .. so you know what you're getting and I assume Poyet does. Picking a player that you know is going to get 2 reds a season sounds like (pretty well) 2 nailed on losses

As may be shown by their current league position, Sunderland are not blessed with many alternative options in that position until the transfer window opens, hence why Poyet is required to place his trust in someone who has a long-standing record of indiscipline.

I'm not familiar enough with their sqaud but if they only have one player that can fit that role and it's Cattermole then I'd be horrified. Not saying you are wrong but I'd have assumed they had some options.

He's 3 games into managing the club and the transfer window is closed. Until January, he has to make do with the players he has inherited, faults and all. If Poyet views Cattermole as too much of a liability then in January expect him to buy an anchoring midfielder. The worrying part there is that Liam Bridcutt would fit the bill.

now don't go putting ideas into his head ffs !

Gus thinks he shouldn't have been sent off - shock

 

[Billy the Fish]

Cattermole is your archetypal old fashioned honest to goodness dirty c**t of a footballer.

Losing at Hull today shows that Sunderland have no chance of staying up this season and the only good thing is that there win last week dumped Palace at the bottom

Great analysis there, exactly why does it mean that, Sunderland were all over them for the final 30 mins but with 2 less players. This thread is about Cattermole who should not have been sent off, the other most certainly was a sending off

 

[kevtherev]

Old Gus ain't fist punching fresh air today is he, lol......Wonder who fault that will all be

 

[LamieRobertson]

Yes, thank you. I am aware of Cattermole's shocking disciplinary record. But anyone who know's anything about football will also know that teams playing under Gus have a shocking disciplinary records.

Really? Was our record that bad in League One? Was it that bad last season in the Championship?

Because beanbrain it means you are 3 points further away from a team before the season was one of the favourites to be bottom 3, have you worked out exactly how many points you need per game to stay up yet ?

25 shots to 9, SEVENTY percent possession suggests you were not all over them.

A challenge that splits someone's boot is good enough for a red card.

Can't believe some people still love poyet after he threatened to sue the club, he's finally at a prem club and I really hope they go down

o gosh....because some people don't slag him off= love...you have got to be joking

Poyet anger at Cattermole red

I said the last half an hour, we had most of the chances at the end, its hard to have any possession with 9!

That was a shocker of a challenge and I agree with most that say they hope he never wears the shirt again, catts was no where near a red, a yellow but the player dived and held his knee when he missed him anyway and it would have been his foot

Yes and it does not look good but we are not a million miles from the team 4th from bottom

 

[sydney]

Poyet is right about Cattermole's reputation .......the guy is a thug/maniac.

 

[joeinbrighton]

Cattermole's was definitely a red. The only thing to say was that Robbie Brady should also have been sent off for Hull for a not dissimilar challenge in the 2nd half.

 

[albion534]

I didn't think it was a red tbh

Whichever way you look at it you are. You might argue "only" 5 points but on your form you're not getting those this side of Xmas
