Sunderland vs Aston Villa Match Thread

He needs to take Roger’s, Buendia and Guessand off and bring Elliott, Sancho and Malen on. They cannot do any worse than those going off. Let’s see in Emery has the bottle!!

[Nelly]

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.

I hear you Andy mate, that's valid and you can see others say similar too. I kinda feel some of it is down to our players not being on the same wavelength at times - that attempt at the throughball was a bit heavy but our player could have made a bit more of an effort to catch it, or - and this is wild - anticipate it? I always though under Deano, Buendia was the one who would up our tempo by playing passes that forced us to get running.

This is from someone who thought Gil was gonna be massive for us, so... Probably should have led with that to save you reading all this haha

I don't know exactly what has happened to us, but we are awful. We are as bad as anything I have seen in the league so far this season.

We are playing a newly promoted team who will probably be relegated. We have had loads of the ball and we have offered virtually nothing.

Sutton called if after 20 mins when he said how slow we are in possession with players taking too many touhces.

Rogers looks petulant and is playing like he can't be arsed. Beundia tries, but is dismal.

Guessand has to score with the only chance we've had.

Our set piece deliveries are crap as well.

Unai needs to change it up at HT.

[Tuscans]

Anything to put a sock in Micah.

[Villa Lew]

He needs to get Elliott on now, not on 60,70,80 mins now!

[TonyD]

Another 3 or 4 games playing like this and Unai will be off. 

[ROBBO]

Sunderland even before the sending off are dire, it shows how we have gone backwards when we pose such little threat against ten men. Watkins and Rogers lose possesion so easy and Buendia for all his effort is just not up to premiership standard. If we do not beat these today not sure where we go from there.

[Chip Butty 111]

I wonder what Unai is saying to the players now.

probably doing a Clough..
'Where's the fu#king hole' ?
What hole boss..?
'The one you lot have been hiding in all fu#king half'..

I wonder what Unai is saying to the players now.

Good evening?

Good bye.

Could do with Gil. Didn't he score a worldie up there?

[andyh]

Its quite astonishing that we still have no idea what Guessand can do going forward, running at the defence with the ball.

[Beard82]

Even the studio team look and sound absolutely bored shitless !

Quite a lot of excitment about the prospect of a Liverpool player playing.

[Tuscans]

Its the same fucking team, he's lost it

[PeterWithesShin]

No changes.

[KevinGage]

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

Or playing to get his price down in Jan, maybe.

He'll prob score a screamer now.
