Capt. Pants 4,092 Posted August 27, 2022 Can only get better 2nd half. Sunderland will run out of gas and our superior quality will shine through. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyro Pete 1,849 Posted August 27, 2022 Oh, well. Only 45 more minutes to endure. Then I can watch the final episode of The Sandman on Netflix. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted August 27, 2022 No changes at half-time after that performance is spineless. At the very least we should have taken Sinani off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dean Coneys boots 1,382 Posted August 27, 2022 Sky commentator noted it doesn’t look like there were two divisions between these teams last season. We really have lost that edge, need an awful lot more in terms of midfield bite and quality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought the Sandman started with real promise but just got worse and worse. And the last episode. Totally rubbish. Can’t even understand why they made it. Had no bearing on anything.

Sooner we get shot the sooner we can start fixing this team. i think he will be one of those managers who wins 2/3 and we think he has turned a corner then lose a couple then he will put a run together then lose again bit like Alex Neil i? n the end of his time here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unique 434 Posted August 27, 2022 How is it that we have so many players in our squad lacking athleticism? Dowell….McLean…Gibbs would all come into this category and we started with all three!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunderland were promoted so too good for League One, Norwich were relegated so not good enough for the Premier League. Strange that here they are playing in the Championship, the same level - no.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted August 27, 2022 I am so frustrated by our ability to give it away in our own half. It must be 20 times at least. We just haven't learnt to play the football from the halfway onwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Pete 1,849 Posted August 27, 2022 May as well throw on Sara, Cantwell, Ramsey and Pukki, and go for it. A single point is no use to us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But can replace him with Sinani. Edited August 27, 2022 by TeemuVanBasten 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
