Tells you a lot about Southgate's nous that he thinks JFH is an international quality coach.
The similarities between this England and us under JFH are remarkable. Stiff 4231, poor movement, players terrified to pass the ball forward to a teammate who has a defender any where near them, no clear pattern of play designed to attack and break teams down etc etc. Absolutely terrible.
Shame about not taking the chances, Swansea are dangerous but nothing special, 0 - 0 at the half is fine with a cracking bench available to unleash in the last 20.
Well we didn't lose. Although I reckon Sunderland wouldn't score if we played another half hour with just Begovic, Hayden and the back 4 on the pitch.
Sincs giving us the most Sincs like moments was at least something in what was an outrageously drab and low quality game.
2 points missed against the worst team we'll play for the rest of the season, but that's us this year, no getting away from it. We'll probably smash Leeds 4 - 0.
Much improved passing this half from him. Seemed to have schemed to get him the ball a bit wider on the right with more space to look up and play forward.
It's like a game with 22 trialists who've never met before!
A good half time sort out from Marti should hopefully lift us. Definitely there for the taking but the pattern of struggling to raise ourselves against poor teams definitely in effect that half.
