Sadly I feel Sunderland are not worth the ticket fee to watch them at this moment in time, Last nights performance was pathetic !!, Fletcher having to go wide to get the ball,, Sess running around clueless,, Colback sticking to his traits with back or side passing,, Larson stood beside Gardner watching him taking free kicks (whats all that about),, Saha cant score to save his life,, Macclean totally one footed, yes he will run at a defender but when challenged turns around and passes back,, Johnson, well we know why he was'nt getting a game at City now,, Cattermole injured against West Brom and lasted 5 mins,,,, possertives Cuella and Killgallon ok, Rose excellent, Bardsley passionate by his outburst during the game to his fellow team members for not getting into possitions,, Fletcher good as always, passionate to the core but sadly let down by not recieving a ball he can do something with!!,,, in a nutshell the team has no passion or will to go that extra yard to get a win, we cant pass, we cant hold a ball, we play to deep, we dont show the will or have confidence to play with 2 forwards, keep this up and were championship bound, If it a new manager required act now before its too late, if its the players then get rid and find some that have the will to play for Sunderland and WIN!!!!!!
I was that disgusted with the heartless inept performance last night I left with 20 mins to go.I have tickets for the Reading and Chelsea games but after that I wont be wasting my hard earned cash on ****e like I endured last night.
We are playing at a tempo that is so high that they don't have time to think about picking out a decent pass. How many times have you seen a SAFC lad holding onto the ball for more than 5 seconds in the last month or so? There is no movement upfront, the ball is being passed about in midfield without any creative movement and the players that are receiving the ball are being closed down befoe they have time to think about picking out a decent pass. We need a Keano to hold the ball and stand firm, draw players in towards him and pick out a forward pass to somebody capable of moving into space. The likes of Colback pass the ball as soon as they recieve it and most of the time it is sideways.. This kind of approach creates a hotcake mentality because nobody is holding the ball long enough to use their vision to pick out a pass. Headless chickens.
I've seen Cathedrals built quicker than our attacks. No pace at all , a lack of forwards and no creativity. All 3 things will need to be addressed in 5 weeks time.
