My point is it didn't work. How many times exactly did they took advantage of our high line? Maybe once in the whole game, when Yoshda made the mistake preceding the fist goal. They won, but not because of their tactics.
It's a shame Sam G seems to have lost his place on the bench especially with no real credible striker replacement
They have just mentioned Adam Johnson v Shaw today. I am a little worried as I do believe that Shaw can be got at by a player who cuts inside. Will watch this battle with interest.
"The whole of Sunderland against Southampton live on BT Sport next" - that seems a bit of an unfair advantage....
