Sunderland are wasting time at every opportunity, how scared do you have to be to start wasting time in the first 25 minutes of a match. Hopefully we can score soon or else this is going to be one boring game.
Johnson messes up again, that looked a good move until he got involved. We seem to be sending the ball to him at every opportunity and he keeps losing it. Why persist in giving it to him!
Were playing with a lot of nerves it's seems. We really need to slow it down for a fewims and attack with composure no need to rush it
I'm not one for jumping on the Johnson bandwagon, but he has been shocking in his possession and going forward so far in this game. As I say that another cross he hits right at the first defender...
Clearly going with the 2009 Stoke Plan A. Park the bus, frustrate, waste time and counter attack when possible. Get a point and if a lucky goal on the counter, get three. The only probelm with that plan is when we score a goal, they'll need to change to attack.
