Sunderland match thread

[Marina]

It's like we are incapable of stopping the rot. We play better, create virtually all of the chances... and then the opposition takes the one genuine chance they get. It always happens. I feel it must be psychological because it makes no sense. On paper, our team is miles better than Sunderland's.

That wasn't Reina's fault that was the defence, there should have been someone to cut that out at the near post

[kingfunk]

We are ****ed until we buy a couple of strikers.

[Gibbo]

It was Reina. You don't dive in and leave your goal open. If you can't reach it, you're at fault.

And if he didn't dive for the cross Fletcher had a free shot because he got the other side of Skrtel.

Bollocks that was Reina's fault, Johnson could have been stronger in the tackle for a start.

[JohnDoe]

Sterling, once again, our best player.

[DeanoUK]

Poor by Johnson Reina and Skrtl for the goal.

On another note, always amazed Allen is able to keep the ball so well under pressure considering his size and frame.

[dizzycat]

We'll see if this team has any character now

[Exiled_red]

Rose should be booked there

[Imy]

At the start of the summer we needed a left back and strikers, we buy two central midfielders and 'right sided attacker'

Logic

Reina had no business not getting to that ball. It was a soft goal for a GK to concede, business as usual from him for the last couple of years.

[Gibbo]

That's two Allen missed in twenty seconds.

[Muddled]

No blame can be levelled at Reina, surely?

[Red_Polo]

Spaces everywhere. Disorganised mess.

[JohnDoe]

I love Sterling, he's ace.

[Marina]

My stream is no longer working. Just as well I suppose.
