Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Southampton FC – Saturday 2nd September 2023 - KO 12:30

Maybe watch the first two goals again then.

 

This makes a nice change from dominating games and getting beat, I'd rather play **** and win.

Edit. That's not to say we are playing ****, just not at our best.

 

Agreed mate, second start and I can see an improvement really from the last game.

 

Well this isn't going well for us, back to normal service for our visits to Sunderland

Don't suppose you still have Vergini kicking around do you?

 

For all their possession, have Southampton really hurt us?

 

I have. I’ve also watched the 3 or 4 times we’ve been in even better positions and he’s given it away

 

Seems like I was praising his decision making prematurely! Still, he improves that and becomes a great player.

Get in there though!

Came back into the game well after they were all over us and got the third to cement a great first half.

 

Smug mode engaged

 

If we're still three up by the hour I'd be tempted to give Rigg a runout.

 

We look capable of scoring every time we break.

 

Taking nothing for granted. Remember Burnley at home

 

Bit harsh on the lad, this!

 

Their keeper is having a shocker.

We’ve been class. Ekwah absolute beast.

 

Especially this ref and a few players on yellow

ref did us a favour not giving that pen but we need 11 on the pitch against a team like this.

 

O9 yellow absolutely ridiculous

 

Yes we look great on the break, possession is one thing but goals mean points.

 

'Still, let's give Sunderland some credit.'

Seriously if this was at Southampton they'd be claiming they would walk the league ...

... what is it, even with Goodman and Phillips, that they can't just praise us without a downside.

And stop going on about Clarke leaving ffs, he didn't!!!
