We've been better since we went down to ten... but still not good enough. I think Djuricic has shown promise.
Yep. Have to agree with this. No excuse for them to play this bad. And the play over the last month or so has been somewhat disappointing, tbh. I mean, I'm not going into total meltdown over it. But at some point it's not enough to just sit on your laurels that you had a good season and did better than everyone thought. Finish the season strong.
Bollocks, absolute gift to a terrible Sunderland. You called it right St Brendy, hope you had money on it! Thought Filip looked promising today. Just looking for positives.......
It's biased to say the red was bollocks. It's been deemed as a professional last man foul and therefore is a red card. I need to see it again to be sure, but the red card coming out was not surprise to me at the time. He certainly gave the ref an opportunity to pull the red out by committing the foul. I'm sure the players are trying their best, but the team has been set up badly by Koeman. Not to play your strongest back for so you can play two physical DM's together that offer next to nothing going forward is a bad decision. Reed is a much crisper passer and full of energy. He and Wanyama are a good combination. Then you get arguably your best defender in defence, rather than in midfield.
That was a poor all round performance from the team, and although Toby was one of the better players, I stand by what I said that I'd rather see him in his preferred position. All that said and done though, you get these games. Sunderland are pretty awful, but sadly we decided to play worse. Today. Just today. I'm sure it'll all be fine again on another day.
