[waspish]

Poor as we been this half Sunderland been great sometimes you have to give credit to a team who have stopped us playing with there pressing!

“Don’t think there was any intent there.”

If the commentator had a clue he’d realise that’s about the 20th time they’ve left one in. There’s been so much intent to injure every time we have the ball it’s frankly an insane thing for a professional to say.

 

[Bluemoon dan]

Is that on Foden all that different from the Spurs player on van dijk that saw him sent off?

 

[heslops barnet]

Dirty cunts

That’s most premiership teams

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Get Robinho on!

 

[meeesh]

I don’t think there’s any intent there - oh fuck off Goodman you arsehole, and watch the fucking game you ****

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Must have missed a rule change, apparently you're allowed to grab a fistful of your opponent's shirt now?

Millimeters away from a goal, not been a good performance though.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Poor so poor

 

[Jimmieblue]

They are just cloggers, not Premier League side.

 

[blueste41]

Best thing about that half was that Sunderland didn't score.

 

[scousemanc]

Tough half. Sunderland are good at home. Haaland should have scored. They can't keep this frantic pace up

 

[I'm Blue]

A half to forget.
Started brightly and faded quickly.
Need to work harder with and without the ball.

 

[jimharri]

A bit meh so far. But there's still the second half to go, and I still believe we'll get the job done. Now; Im just off to make a cup of coffee.....

 

[ufo]

Cunts are twitchy

 

[malg]

Utterly wank half of football. You can see why they're unbeaten at home this season, very well organised

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Not been up for the fight so far. Sunderland are playing really well but expect more from the front four.

To be honest with so many missing for them I expected a lot better than this.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Christ, that was a grind. Created absolutely fuck all.

 

[borassic]

These dirty cunts run out of steam 2nd half. Pep needs to tweak this as we aren’t incisive enough and getting bullied

 

[Barcon]

Dirty bastards.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Not the best that but well in the game
