Sunderland (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Draikin]

A few sterling-level misses tonight, can't win every game. Our first 11 needs a rest, Pep must find a way to rotate

 

[waspish]

Forest Sunderland away 4 points decent with half a season to go

 

[El Ingeniero de Noruega]

Happy new year. Still in the title rice. give Haaland a break

 

[Mancity1980]

MOTD is going to be boring tonight.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Simply not good enough, Foden and Haaland stinking the place out tonight. Could be playing until midnight and not score

 

[Ric]

Thought we actually played pretty well in the second half, and were a bit unlucky not to get the win. Rodri's return was the big positive from the night for me.

 

[Theblueguy]

Thought sunderland would have been struggling from all their players being at Afcon, but they looked impressive, definitely didnt look like a championship B side. Well done to them.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Awful from Haaland and Foden, genuinely playing with 9 men. They had seven players out and we barely tried until the second half. If we didn’t have Chelsea next Haaland would be benched. A truly lazy and abysmal performance from him.

 

[colorado blue]

Great second half just didn’t get that little be of luck we needed. Thought there was a foul in box on Josko right at end but never replayed. Sunderland is a tough place to get a win, there’s a reason they haven’t lost one yet.

 

[AlthamBlue]

Awful finishing.

Sums it up really. Yes the ref had an absolute shocker but Haaland in the 1st half and Sav in the 2nd should’ve put us out of sight.

 

[sh249]

Better second half, but still not very good. Two points thrown away.

 

[burning blue soul]

Two points pissed up the season's wall.
Oh, well!
Never mind. Let's do the Chavs on Sunday to get our mojo back.

 

[ThreesKompany]

Incredibly frustrating performance. 2nd half performance deserved the win.

Credit to them for throwing bodies in front of everything but we should have won that.

Missed too many chances.

After those two misses by Savinho I had a bad feeling those were going to be the best chances.

Still some positives. Rodri back made playing out the back 10x better. That's a good sign. Hope Pep don't overplay him.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Credit to Sunderland. One of the best teams we have played this year.

 

[OldhamBlue94]

4 mins added on was a fucking joke, then their player was down for about a minute of the 4 and he blew at 93.58.

 

[homerdog]

Should have won that easily, but unfortunately all the best chances fell to our poorest finishers!

Sunderland fans celebrating like they'd won was hilarious!

 

[remember arthur mann]

We're doomed.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Gvardiol and Rodri were by far our best players.

Irony being they both came off the bench

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Foden and Haaland had a nightmare out there. Doubt their boots are particularly muddy.

Rodri was immense.

 

[Digsy's Dinner]

Gvardiol and Rodri were by far our best players.

Says a lot when the best 2 players were second half subs
