Sunderland (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Revolver]

We weren’t great tonight but we had chances to win.

Half way through the season and we are in every competition. What more do people want ?

Sorry I find some of the negativity irritating. But it’s a free world.

 

[Eaststander1]

One of our best players tonight I thought. He stood up to the physical battle which he hasn't always done, has really transformed himself in the last year, fair credit to him.

Nunes got slated on the radio commentary, and I thought both our full backs were really poor tonight.

Daniel Sturridge is Fkin horrendous on Sky. Absolutely shit.

I never watched him. He was probably wearing shit clothes to go with this shit analysis.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Pathetic performance. Took until the 88th minute to show some urgency. Players should hang their heads in shame for waiting until the end to start showing some fire

Congrats to Arsenal on winning the title. We're not good enough to stay with them. They're different class to the rest of the league.

Loooool. What a flake, giving up now

 

[citymad]

The match commentary from Jim Proudfoot and the Geordie was fantastic. They make a great team.

 

[brazilians hurt]

Daniel Sturridge is Fkin horrendous on Sky. Absolutely shit.

He makes Richards sound insightful and that’s saying something

 

[ayrshire_blue]

I've gave Savinho plenty of stick on here but imo he's been decent of late and was again tonight. He had one poor miss, admittedly, but the second shot was hit well and saved well by their keeper. He done fine, or at least as fine as Doku.

I'm all for constructive criticism and could back up argument that Haaland and Foden were poor in attack but fuck me it's scapegoat central in here for Savinho. Bit of support wouldn't go amiss.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Fair fucks to Sunderland and at least they had a go until the last 20 mins but someone please put your foot through it or someone try curling in top corner from opposite side of the box, oh well advantage Arsenal.

 

[ancoats]

It's daft digging out any of the players tonight. Let's be right here Sunderland are no mug at home and we were off it tonight and got a point, 2 big away games were a big ask over Christmas and we looked leggy from the off

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Good point away at Ice Station Zebra on the NE coast on a freezing cold night with great, but giddy, local fans. No points dropped. Tough up there, its not a drama

 

[manimanc]

Congratulations to Arsenaa winning the league in January for the third year on the trot.
Absolutely amazing.

 

[Gordyola]

Nunes got slated on the radio commentary, and I thought both our full backs were really poor tonight.

He is giving 8/10 performances consistently now and was tonight so no idea what game they were watching

Personally, I just block obvious WUM's and ne'er do wells. :)

 

[TheBlueCat]

Hahahaha you don't like thr truth no, it hurts does it :)

Again with this forum, keyboard warriors. I'll be at the game Sunday, call me a cry baby to my face then and see how it ends up for you...

Off you go now, good chap.

Just curious…

What would you do if he called you a cry baby to your face ….. :). ??

 

[blue_danube]

Loooool. What a flake, giving up now

Not at all.

I simply don't see us being good enough to pile the pressure on and make Arsenal wobble this time.

 

[Dannyblue52]

Gvardiol and Rodri were by far our best players.

Also about for Donna

 

[Zenmanc]

He defended brilliantly and started loads of attacks by playing a nice pass into midfield. Thought he supported Cherki well too and was always available.

You mustn't have watched the whole game then as I saw him put at least two crosses into the box.

All of this.

 

[Vienna_70]

So they have the same ref in every game?

Where did I mention the officiating?

 

[cupsforcockups]

Daniel Sturridge is Fkin horrendous on Sky. Absolutely shit.

Micah is no better

 

[ysmsa]

We didn't look better because Savinho went off. He was our best player when on the pitch. He looked fast, sharp and was beating the full back with ease. He was also working hard to get back. We looked better because Gvardiol and Rodri came on. It had absolutely nothing to do with Savinho going off.
He should have taken at least one of the chances he had. But, I thought he played well and the amount of stick he gets is totally unwarranted.

Rubbish.

He started the game brightly and I thought, hello.

However, he soon reverted to form even though the full back looked poor.

Disappeared second half of the first half and made numerous "can't be arsed errors"

His final ball is terrible, hit and hope and rarely comes off.

As for his finishing, cost us 2 points tonight.

Pep knows it which is why he hooked him soon after.

He's crap, nowhere near the level we need.
