10-Man Sunderland vs 0-Win Aston Villa Post-Catastrophe Flagellation

Replay of our attacking build up today

[Sexual Ealing]

I made a few quid, if that helps?

[tomd2103]

Elliott and Sancho at least added some energy and can hopefully establish themselves in the starting line-up.  We all of a sudden look desperately short of quality all over the pitch. 

[PhilVill]

I don't care what 'credit in the bank' you have as a manager, this can't be allowed to continue for much longer and to be quite honest, I can't see this been turned around as there is a refusal to try something different.

[Cropley10]

I can understand Emery’s frustration. How the fuck do you bring speed and urgency to this team?
I can forgive Watkins his lack of ammunition, but he misses when he gets it. Rogers can’t start again, but the slooooow play of Cash/Konsa/Mings hamstrings us against any team that parks the bus.

[Beard82]

We had at least 2 chance where we really should have scored - watkins and Guessard in the first half.   And Malen really needed to do better

I thought we played ok - but our forward players seem way off it.  Though Guessard was the pick - sancho looked ok too.  Watkins, Rogers and Beundia would have been better not playing.

It feels like there is something really not right, it might just be the forward players are completely devoid of believe.

I am coming to believe that Emery has lost senior players.Rogers and Watkins both diabilocal and should be dropped, its like playing with nine men. I hate the style of football we are playing it's as dull as dish water, no movement no exitement and thats down to Emery. The way he walked of before the end tells a story, we are not a happy team at Villa Park.

Rogers would still be on the bench for league games at Boro if it weren’t for Emery. The manager deserves way more professionalism and application than what is being afforded. Style and setup aside, any 11 we put out there should have been able to grind out a result today.

[wolfman999]

The tapping it around on the edge of the box is clearly down to a lack of confidence. Every player is now terrified of getting it wrong so pass the responsibility to someone else. Cash takes a shot and there you go. They need to get back to trying things and accepting they might not always come off.

I'm up a hundred quid on the week thanks to Villa. High five.

[German James]

We offer nothing at all. I can't really understand how the bottom could have dropped out so completely.

No Duran to steal points and Morgan Rogers has nothing going for him. Youri and Onana injured doesn’t help.

That's some of it... But it's not all of it.

[puppyfeat]

Embarrassing really, why did nobody challenge Xhaka?

I was wondering why tf we didn't sign him, he's just the kind of player we need right now.

Abysmal shitshow. Sacked in the morning, hopefully.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Simply put, in 2 words, after a bloody terrible week of work related stress.

Bollocks it.

[Pat McMahon]

Unai going down the tunnel before FT was a bit odd.

I like to imagine he wants to get to the dressing room before the players so he can balance a bucket of water on the door.

Bucket of piss

Where's Steve Harrison when you need him?

I think he's still hiding on top of the wardrobe

In a team that sacrifices width, if your forward isn’t getting chances or scoring and your #10 is missing in action.. how are you supposed to manufacture goals?

Elliott being able to show to and receive a ball then drive at goal today made Rogers look like an amateur.

Got to admire his commitment keeping it going this long.
