Sunderland Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[kitchen]

Don't think 4 at the back is doing us any good.

We won't be as effective playing 3 at the back without Rose...

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Every time we've been in a good position, Son has withered it away with a horrible touch.

Needs to get his game face on quickly.

Game face? He always looks like he's just had his cherry popped lol

I wish people woukd stop banging on about the ref.

Why? We're playing shit and he's a useless can't!!

 

[Romulus]

everybody moaning about the ref is an easy excuse. we have been poor for a lot of the 1st half

 

[thebenjamin]

Our squad looks so stretched with even a couple of injuries

 

[StevePil]

Poor performance and Rose Injury - really not a good first half.

We need to come out fighting in 2nd half as doubt Moyes will change much - just tell them to keep lumping us all over the field which they enjoy but these are the sort of things we have to handle and come through with results from...

Struggled at Bournemouth, west brom and do we have to add sunderland - I hope not but big 45 coming up in our season

Ref has bought their fans into this game through shit decisions.

We need to quieten them second half by controlling the ball better, and Kane needs to liven up as he's looked off the pace

They are playing a back 3.

I think I would go 4-3-3 and try to stretch them out wide. I don't rate him but I think this would have been a good game for N'koudou. But for me Dembele off Winks on Eriksen left Son right for now.

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

From the BBC:

Not much to tell you from that first half. Spurs had plenty of the ball but only had one shot at goal. Harry Kane has not a sniff.

Of course he hasn't, she's just had a baby FFS.

We'll be tighter though. Don't go there peeps!!

 

[Gbspurs]

I'm not sure why but I feel more confident that we are going to win now than I did before the match.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Damn that arsenal score though. We must win this

 

[StevePil]

here we go! Come on you Spurs! Massive 45 mins

Dembele has been our best player. In fact we only look like doing something when he has the ball in the final third. Taking him off would be madness.

 

[Gbspurs]

Sonny why not pass to Eriksen!!!

 

[thebenjamin]

Damn that arsenal score though. We must win this

Arsenal will win 3-2 having been 2-0 after 96 minutes, with 3 late penalties, and time added on for their goal celebrations

 

[spurdaboyzon]

Didn't he give Sunderland 2/3pens once about 6 years ago at stadium of light in a 3-1 defeat Darren Bent played against us - he has form against us at TSOL

It was 3 pens in one game Bent missed 2,

 

[Romulus]

Son has zero awareness at times ffs

 

[Hazardousman]

Why have we switched formation back to something that was causing us problems in the attack before, that's my question.

 

[Cheds]

That was messy. This game is wiping that West Brom game from my memory fast. Everything that clicked that game is jarring tonight. This 4231 with Wanyama and Dembele is looking very pedestrian, Alli and Son are bumbling, Walker is hesitant, Davies the dull is on and defensively we look very vulnerable to the break.

Add Eriksen been poor to that too
