Final ball not quite getting through. Sunderland defence getting stretched sometimes.

 

Paid for those missed chances atm.

Trouble is we've got strikers bang out of form and the only player who creates anything is Amrabat.

 

Aaaaannnnnddddddd it's Sunderland

 

Well still hopeful. We can play a lot better with what we have. But we need to get at least something from the next 2 at the Vic.

Happy Christmas one and all.

 

Its tricky for us when we've only really got one attacking player in form and the 2 most likely strikers to score cannot stay fit for more than a week.

 

kchorn - there's a blast from the past. You have a great Christmas, too.

 

Looking at MOTD we were a bit unlucky but they had one bloke in the area who was allowed to turn and shoot whilst defenders stood or in the case of Kabasele get out the way of the ball!

Amrabat and Success created most of the chances but as I say we just seemed to be 2nd to the ball when it mattered like at the end when their goalie spilled the ball but recovered quickly.

 

Unlucky..... we deserved a draw...... just not getting the drop in goal scoring positions and then a couple going just wide....

Agree with Mark Aamrabat and Success always very threatening...

Iggy and TD looking better and a couple of moves were almost spot on like they used to be....

 

Watched the game on a dodgy internet stream;

Thought first half we played pretty well and rued those missed chances! The Amrabat volley, the corner, and a couple of mis-placed passes that could have led to more. Thought we were the much better team for the first 40 minutes, then Sunderland started coming into it - and we were very poor the second half.

Didn't think Success did all that well after he came on... not as dangerous as he has looked before. Was nice to see 2 up top, but feel maybe we should try Amrabat alongside Deeney until Okaka is back, while not sure Zuniga is a midfielder. Will be good to have Janmaat back fit. Would also like Watson to be given a go in midfield and let Capoue have a bit more attacking freedom while Pererya is out.

 

Well said, Kev, I agree with all of that.
