Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Plymouth Argyle FC – Saturday 25th January 2025 - KO 15:00

Shape is all wrong so far.

 

You can see why though, seems we are trying to adapt to le fe

 

By dropping Rigg and Mayenda ?

 

Ha'Way lads, goal before half time please.

 

On the bright side Samed having a good game and looks the part.

 

Not really we’re playing him on the left, he should be in the middle. Think he’s just trying something new today nout wrong with that these are the games to try new things but this is why I said I don’t like a double pivot, it’s too negative imo. 2 defence orientated midfielders in front of a back 4 against a shyte team who are just going to sit deep.

 

If we are to play this shape, I think it could be better suited to Rigg rather than Roberts. It seems that Hume is providing the width on that side and Roberts playing narrow

 

West Brom showing how its done

 

I’m relaxed. RLB is good at tweaking things at half time

 

H-T 0-0

 

Roberts, dog ****

 

Or poor at getting it right first time

 

How’s theee only one minute added on, stop start all half

 

Game going as expected so far. Plymouth with everyone back. Usual stuff after getting hammered, a 0-0 away from home becomes a decent point.

we have the players to find a way. A couple of close chances in the first half, something will change im certain

 

That was a hard watch…. Still another 45 mins

 

Need to find a way through these.

 

Well we knew how it was going to be. Just hope we get one early second half, as I expect Plymouth dressing room at this moment discussing things like what type of injury the keeper gets later on.

 

Roberts poor again. Mayenda on 2nd half hopefully.

 

Rigg or Mayenda for me, Roberts ineffective.

 

We're not moving the ball quickly enough and there's not enough movement. I'd be looking to get Mayenda on.
