Sunderland vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[wolfman999]

4.5 league games without a goal is embarrassing.

5.5 if you include the no show last game of last season.

He needs to get rogers off, he looks like he doesn’t give a fuck.

Buendia is still the only player we have who tries to make things happen. Everyone else either loses it as standard or goes sideways/backwards.

I’m sorry do disagree bud.
He has been as poor as all of them.
Yes, he buzzes around like an annoying gnat, but that’s the sum of him. Constantly losing possession, not making his passes and very lightweight.

The kindest thing you can say is that he has been slightly less shit than a few of them.

That from Buendia just before half time is why I don't rate him. Giving it away when you're trying a defence splitting pass is one thing but to completely mishit a 5 yard ball to an unmarked player can never be acceptable and he does it far too often.

I'd replace him with Sancho for the 2nd half, pace and width will win this for us.

If you are limiting appearances because of a clause you don't start them in the League Cup.

League appearances.

Any mentions of the clause is "all comps". Either way there's fuck all chance we aren't playing someone we want to because of a clause.

I would take off digne or beundia and put on Sancho or Matasaan give us a bit more threat on the left

[Chip Butty 111]

Game is there for the taking, but Buendia, Rogers, Guessand and Watkins don't look at it. Maatsen overlapping on the left would open these  up.

He’s fast going from hero to zero.  I hope it’s a confidence thing. 

Also, Digne looks like his legs have gone to me. 

[TonyD]

I wonder what Unai is saying to the players now.

I reckon he wants to leave.

[Tuscans]

What do we reckon, same team to come out a HT even though we could easily make 5 changes the way that went.

[PeterWithesShin]

Get Martinez off and play with a rush goalie.

[Tayls_7]

I wonder what Unai is saying to the players now.

Good evening?

[andyh]

Even the studio team look and sound absolutely bored shitless !

I’m sure he does and I’m surprised we didn’t sell him last month.
