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

Yellow for Pritch

 

We seem to have come alive last 5 minutes but too little too late to be honest

 

I have a heart attack any time a GK passes out to a defender in the penalty area who has his back to striker about to pounce. Please don't do that again

 

Rat faced ****

I think we've just played the way we generally play and they're better in every department. We could have parked the bus but we always give chances away.

We get away with sloppiness in the championship all the time.

 

Commentators on itv said 8.5 million for us and 416 million spent by them in last it think he said 5 years.

 

Ballard letting off a bit of steam.

If Rigg's on the bench I'd like to see him on for Jobe.

 

Second goal close to unforgivable by Ekwah. Just not good enough to beat these, had to be at our best and we’re way off. Can’t fault the effort, can’t fault the discipline in defence just not good enough unfortunately.

 

Men against boys here

 

09 saves

 

Jobe been really poor today.

 

Handing them chance after chance.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO A ****ING TRICK EVERY TIME YOU GET THE ****ING BALL

 

Wanted us to have a go. Not low block and take it

 

What a block from O'Nien. He's had a good game been solid with no errors to speak of.

 

Shocking. Worst on the pitch. First 20 he looked pissed. Massive off the pace.

 

Time for some subs

 

Always trying to take too many touches, Jobe. Get Rigg on. Nowt to lose

 

Big Dan Ballard only one looking like he is anywhere near ready to play at premier league level!

 

The good news is that any scouts watching are moving on to their next targets

 

Everything needs to be faster and more accurate. That's why they've got all the time in the world on the ball and we've got none.
