Sunderland match thread

[Eric Swindler]

this football is going to lead to the relegation zone and inevitable sacking.

It's looking that way. And its not as if we are even looking like winning games

[Muddled]

Oh dear.

One chance for Sunderland, one goal. We look toothless upfront and since we've conceded, our midfield is all over the shop.

Again, defensive mistakes and we concede; Johnson needs to go through ball and player to stop Larrson (?) getting through at the second ask. Skrtel was too tight to Fletcher, who went, checked and went again, at which point Skrtel was on his arse.

We've tried all possible variations of our front three in different positions and still we struggle to come up with anything. We're reliant on our set-piece delivery and it's sad.

Sterling is our only threat and that's because of his pace and directness. Suarez has his head down and looks off the pace and Borini is full of running, but no one benefits from it.

Shelvey is having a poor game and is in no way linking the midfield and attack well enough, whilst Gerrard just looks lost. What can we do from our bench?

drama .....

Please, for the love of god, sell Suarez and get a ****ing striker who's more interested in scoring than ****ing dribbling just for the sake of it. I'm fed up with him and his pointless dribbles.

And it's been ages since we came from behind to win a game. not expecting it to happen today either.

getting there myself

Suarez and goal scorer would be magic - **** You FSG, **** you.

[Gibbo]

says who?
We're conceding at will and not scoring (or even looking like scoring).

Says me.

For a start when we buy LLorente in January he'll smash them in.

Anyone who thinks we are immune from relegation only need to remember what happened to Newcastle. They completely imploded as a team and with the players they had they shouldn't have been in that position.

We are letting in goals at will and not scoring anything.

Drama queen

I could, but we only play for 90mins a week so have plenty of time to focus on the consequences of results.

If we lose this it's our worst start to a season since 1903 apparently

That must have been a really **** side to be ****ter than this team

[Gibbo]

I think Suarez tries it all himself because he doesn't trust the strikers to score. Honestly.

He was bought to partner Torres, they would have been magic.

Suarez' dive wasn't as bad as first thought.

I'd sell him regardless of another goal scorer.

[JohnDoe]

Suarez is the worst best player in the team we've ever had, if that makes sense.

[Red_Polo]

****ing hell I take it all back, looking at the replay Suarez actually did get a knock to his let shin before he went down

Circumstances of it + reputation + exaggerated fall = no pen
