Sunderland post match thread

[Cheadle Blue]

We can all take a fuck up, but not like that, that was terrible

No urgency

No belief, even after scoring 2 minutes in

No aggression

No effort from most of them

There is no way we are catching the dippers now

 

[Blue Smarties]

Does this holistic approach come with a discount at Hollister for those young enough to get away with wearing that crap? Seems like it's the only thing going for it.

 

[alfabianchi]

thrown in the towel for another season. Too many foreign players saving themselves for the world cup.

We don't have any homegrown leaders like a Gerrard or a Terry in our ranks. And on nights like this it really shows.

If we had 25% of Liverpool's passion and commitment, we'd be the best team in the world.

Devastated.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

On a positive we still have the holistic approach

 

[Mr. Aguia]

Disappointing. Real lack of passion until the final 15mns. Where was that passion the first 80mns? Given away the title again. That's 2 years in a row. We lack real quality past our first 11. Lack real leadership on the pitch. Not sold on MP. Team can't show up in big games with no passion.

 

[WEMBLEY76]

Only consolation is that we can still win the League.

LOOK, LET'S GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT. I don't wanna hear from anyone that the team didn't put a shift in. These guys left it on the field. It just didn't come off today. But I'm tired of people ragging on the players as if they waltzed through the game. Sunderland I thought played very well with a lot of energy and closed down our players well. Give credit to them.

With that said, I am starting to get very frustrated with Hart. Getting beat on his near post!!!!! I'm just gutted, gutted!!!!

Dire, uninspired, woeful. Unlike all our other shocking results against Sunderland I don't think we even deserved a win this time round. I agree with those who say a summer clear out is in order.

Milner is only good in games against very strong opposition, where he is direct and reliable. Games against lower leave teams he thinks he's the big man, does a few stepovers then puts shit balls in.

Well a miracle above miracles is required now, this season has been 1 step forward 1 step back from the last.

 

[Cheadle Blue]

The manager shouldn't have to motivate players for a game like this tonight, they should have the hunger themselves

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

People talking crap about Nasri. At least he has quality on the ball unlike some of the players that surrounded him (especially after the subs was made)

Nasri was shocking tonight mate,there is simply no other way of describing it. But he wasn't alone.

What game were you watching? He scored and almost scored at the death, his passing was good but there was fuck all going on ahead of him....it was a shit team performance but there were at least 9 others who were far worse than him

I the absence of Silva, his role would have been to create, dictate and cause panic in their defence, he did didn't do enough of that tonight. All he did was play it safe. Yes he scored and should have got a third, but that completely disguises what was a poor performance from Nasri. First half he did not complete, fuck it, he didn't even attempt one meaningful pass, just played it safe every time.
