Sunderland (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

We deserved to win this one. 5 great chances: 1 by Erling, 2 by Savinho and another 2 by Gvardiol.
Assna needs to start dropping points asap. Should've already happened against the Wolves and Everton.
 
Special mention for Rodri who was superb whether defending, switching the play and effortlessly spraying the ball around and getting into the Sunderland box with a purpose. Such a smooth and brilliant player.
If today's cameo is just a glimpse and he's really back... he will synergistically boost the players around him.

Trouble is they're getting their injured players back slowly but surely.
 
We complain when opponents park the bus, even at home, but against Sunderland hurtling forward we never seemed too keen on quick counter-attacks, just the usual slow build-up, Some of the second half urgency would have been useful in the first half.

Haaland took too long to realise that the ref was allowing rough stuff, and should have put himself about more. And he was taken out on in his own half on one of those counter-attacks in the second half.
 
Clearly we aren't the best footballing team in the world to watch..... but we are coming from a long way back.
Thought we battled hard and the first half was even....

Second half..you murdered us, but we are getting the rather fantastic habit of staying in the game..and still being a threat.

Can't understand why you didn't test Cirkin more, he really struggled v Leeds.

That said, the chance at the start of the 2nd half changes the whole game if it goes in.

A fantastic point for us, and smiling at some of your comments of our fans celebrating like we've won the world cup...what do you honestly expect...think back to when you had been out of the top league for almost a decade...and you take on a big boy and get a result....
Last January we were drawing with Plymouth at the Stadium of Light.....and now we have drawn with probably the best team in the world over the last decade.... celebrate.....Too fuckin right... we are celebrating every point we gain until relegation is out of the picture... 29 down..11 to go.....that said, it goes without saying that I want you to win your remaining 19 league games 5-0.
Fair prospective.
Always have time for your fans ever since the cup final when they stayed until the trophy lift even though it must have hurt.
Good luck for the rest of the season…just make sure you trip up the others as well as us!
 
Don't disagree. Foden, O'Reilly, Haaland, Nico all poor. Nico has come a long way, but fuck me, a half fit Rodri is another 3 or 4 levels up.

The gilt edged missed sitter sticks in my craw more than anything the others did though.
that’s 2 poor games for o’reilly now. Looks like he needs a rest.
 
Sod it I'm buying mission impossible the final reckoning to watch again...easier than the mission of trying to convince blues on here we will be okay.
A late goal and everyone would be stating what a hard earned but well deserved win.

We played well, Sunderland had some luck, the performances of some of the players were not as bad as being made out on here. But I guess dropped points can do that to some people’s minds.
 
Trouble is they're getting their injured players back slowly but surely.

He missed one chance he should have scored which was still a harder chance than Erlings chance..the keeper saved the other..
Keep listening to the bandwagon..you obviously don't watch the games
The bandwagon is getting bigger. The loan soldier is the loan soldier. Savnio plays bc we need to rest players. If we get Semanyo Savinio will be a footnote in our history and possibly be sold on IMO.
