Sunderland away match thread

[transfer reader]

We need to just get our foot on the ball and calm it down for a minute or two and build from that. Struggling to get into this at the moment

[ZiderEyed]

That Aouchiche looks dangerous

[Peter1450]

The bollocking after Blackburn is having the desired effect for the home team so far.

Are we allowed to have the ball please 

Yeah we had a bright start, then Sunderland started finding it too easy to get into our box. We need to get our basics right.

[David Brent]

Not really sure what our game plan is. Yet to get into the game and quite wasteful when we get possession. 

[Super]

Clear foul on pring

Or sit back, let the opposition run out of steam exactly as we did at Argyle 

[W-S-M Seagull]

This is quite bad so far. 

[ExiledAjax]

Who's on litter picking duty at HT?

Yeah I don't know if we've got the tactics wrong, but we're definitely getting the execution wrong with loose passes, half-hearted defending and a flimsy shape.

Think it is 4231 / 4213 now, but it’s all over the place

We really need to sort our shape out and defend crosses better if we're going to do that

A bright start with Mehmeti’s run too

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Got to keep that ball on the ground with this wind, Sunderland have been doing so, why can't we.

[The Original OTIB]

Average age of the Sunderland team just over 22 years. 

[milo1111]

This is dire so far

[old_eastender]

James with a silly foul, given them a FK just outside the box and central

[westonred]

Same old City back to being useless again

When even James is making silly mistakes you know you're not having a good day

[Lanterne Rouge]

22 minutes in and only one goal in the top two divisions.

[alexukhc]

That Rigg looks a nuisance

It was a foul, but the ref does not need too much encouragement to give fouls today

[mozo]

In terms of fouls, we're racking up some impressive numbers 

[UpTheReds]

Sykes literally has no options to pass to just then.

Yes ******* Cov

Don't they have bins in Sunderland 

[And Its Smith]

Max again. 

[ExiledAjax]

So much rubbish on show, and also some football is being played.

[Super]

Wake up Vyner
