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

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

We need to fully integrate Sancho and Elliot now. Get Tielemans and Onana fit. Buendia in the team highlights how bad our business has been. He's a trier, unfortunately he's shit.

Time for Rogers to take a seat on the bench.

Indeed. Other teams buy players and they are put straight in, ours always need ages to bed in and learn the system. Well the systems pretty crap at the moment so play them.

[PaulWinch again]

Buendia was absolutely wank.

It’s because he’s not good enough - the fact he’s starting is a really bad reflection of where the club is.

[Olneythelonely]

I’m holding on to the hope that we’ll be better against the better teams.

[eamonn]

We buy new players, we sell them....we keep the old lot and many are done.

As soon as they sold Diaby after one season I knew we were going nowhere. Clueless!

He wanted to go, he's a muslim who wanted more money near Mecca.

[Hookeysmith]

The old guard Mings and McGinn slow us down. One , two t, three touches most times before passing and allows team to regain thier shape.
Once down to 10 it was crying out for Torres to thread balls through to midfield.
Buendia ,Rogers were shit from first minute.

Watkins although no service left Xaka for the goal and how he missed the header.
Malen cannot complain about chances, on the one he got through I thought his pace would put him clear but he looked like running  in treacle.
Cash, great goal aside is so poor its easy for teams to target his side of the pitch

If we start against Bologna with the line up then I fear Uni will start getting the boos. Football is cruel and what went before only gives you so much grace.

If he is upset with kept player, drop them

[PaulWinch again]

The only way that happens is if something changes. There’s nothing in our approach that suggests it gets better against stronger opposition.

I couldn’t agree more. I actually swore when I saw the side.

[Nunkin1965]

I think he gets left out now.
His attitude looks bad and if he did just disappear down the tunnel after being subbed then he's going to be left out for Thursday at the least.

I like Emi, but it was pretty clear that he wasn't good enough 3 years ago.  The fact that he's back in our starting line-up speaks volumes really.

He’s not good enough but he tries always puts in the effort
Whereas Rogers is good enough but doesn’t care at the moment and puts in no effort

Which one you rather have, i’m honestly not saying that in a snarky way when things aren’t going well I’d rather have players who are busting for the cause rather than ones that can’t be arsed
and I know Buendia was wasteful and a bit rubbish today, but Rogers more so at least Buendia has got an excuse
He just ain’t good enough

[PaulWinch again]

I personally think that people are applying a narrative to Rogers and thinking something, rather than looking at the most likely event - which is his form has dipped, and the whole team is struggling, and therefore it’s hard to get out of that slump.

I’d rather not start a player we know isn’t good enough.

It’s more than form, looks like he doesn’t want to be here
I’ve been saying it for a while. There’s something wrong behind the scenes and it’s more than just a drop in form for many of our players

Obviously I can’t prove anything or know for sure but that would be my guess
In a way I hope you’re right and it’s just as simple as a drop in form across the board, but I honestly think it’s more than that

[aj2k77]

Rogers did have a good game against Serbia but what level are Serbia realistically at? Upper Championship?

[PaulWinch again]

I suppose the other way I’d look at it is if Buendia is starting lots of games we’re in big trouble.

Hours of video analysis are fine when youre winning. Not so when youre losing!
I looks like some players have switched off from the manager.
