Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Saudi State FC - FA Cup 3rd Round – Saturday 6th January 2024 - KO 12:45

Hume has definitely been identified as our weak spot. They’ve went past the lad with ease all game.

 

Goal had been coming. The class difference is obvious and expected. Keep the work ethic up tho lads.

Ballard had to play it as well. No complaints

 

Let's keep our heads and not go in more than a goal down

 

Hume needs to be more narrow. Other than that our defensive shape has been good. ****s

 

Is that a booking? Really?

 

Hume needs brought off. He’s way out of his depth here.

 

Hume struggling without Seelt backing up Jobe has been invisible so far

 

ballard is like a one man defence at times shame about the goal

 

Aye faster and stronger all over the pitch, hardly a surprise as you say. Ballard is matching them to be fair, had a great half.

 

Hume at huge risk of getting sent off … he is struggling in this game

 

Been brilliant all season, was let down by others for the goal

 

Got to get Pembele on half time or we’ll have 10. Ballard unlucky he’s been our best player.

 

Can't keep the ball because we don't move it quickly enough.

 

Far too many mistakes and creating nothing ref getting sucked in by the play acting isn’t helping either

 

We look like a rabbit caught in headlights at the moment

 

What the hell is Patto doing there like

 

Hume has to stay on, this is no game for Pembele.

 

In all honesty they’re just better in every single department, apart from morally, the ****s

 

I can't believe what he just did there! Madness

 

as to be expected really, they’re a division above with an expensive squad
