Let's hope Uni doesn't read this thread. It's like an entitled top 4 group of supporters.

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?

Hopefully not in a toilet cubicle.

I made a few quid, if that helps?

Pleased for you. Spend it wisely, young man.

Sunderland were a an aggressive well organised physical team that we would have beaten last season. We have to start taking games to teams .  see don’t look like we are ready for the fight at the moment u

Thought the combo of Sancho and Mattsen looked promising. That's what Uni is looking for. He's got options but needs to find the right combinations.

Yes, this combination looked promising in the week, so why didn’t they both start today? Back to the mind mending negative shit.

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

Congratulations! You're operating on a higher level than me. I'm chuffed with my £16 profit on the day, with fingers crossed for the draw in the next game.

Sancho and Maatsen looked lively, let's start with that in the next 2. Elliot didn't make a difference, he just slotted into the averageness of everything else.

Malen is rubbish. Rogers can have a sulk on the bench for the next few. I'd drop Watkins too, but we have fuck all else.

Malen is apparently on Gbp175k a week. I'll leave that out there.

Sunderland knew how to play when down to 10 men.

Set up in a low block, squeeze play into the middle, defend in depth, and play longbl balls into the channels to win throw- ins and free kicks; and lob them into the box.

We didn't have the faintest idea what to do against 10 men, slow, sloppy, soporific shite. We were unable to adapt or change our style of play. No quick passing or variety.

Jeez, it's coaching 1.0.

Regret buying a ticket for Thursday.

Sunderland could have gone down to five men and we would still be clueless as to how to beat them.
In the fist half I found myself wondering what we were trying to do.

Unless something changes dramatically we are in trouble this season.

Malen made a few decent cameos last season. He looked direct and determined. It’s the system that is shit

Certainly no reason to have a permanent face like a slapped arse.
