Sunderland Game Matchday Thread 00:14 - Sep 2 with 11742 viewsSaintNick

Get the thread in early after a good transfer window, will Mason Holgate start the game and will Taylor Harwood - Bellis play any part.

We now know the squad for the next 4 months and it looks strong, good striking options, strong centre of the midfield, good options on the flanks and more importantly a strong centre of defence.

In goal if people can get past last season and a couple of mistakes in pre season, then they might just notice we have a decent keeper in the making .

Big question now is Sulemana, he could really make us a massive threat

4-4 draw anyone???


That would certainly be better than 8-0.

Nah I see a 4-3 win, although knowing us it will end 4-3, it’s just they’ll be the ones to get the last minute winner after we pull it back to 3-3 😂

Edit: forget that, just seen they’ve gone 4-0 up! What a shambles

God knows what Taylor Harwood-Bellis must be thinking sat on the bench. Sorry to say Bazunu is a total liability even at this level and we have nothing else in the locker that's much of an improvemenr. What is Mara doing on the pitch? Disappointed to see Charles not in the starting XI.
This is the second half decent team we have played so far this season and we have conceded 7 goals in one and a half matches. Ouch!

He’s gotta be bringing on both Fraser and Adams now at halftime for Mara and Edozie, as neither have created much, Mara messed up for their first goal and Edozie had a chance to get us back in this game at 2-1 yet hit it wide!
As unless those two come on during the break then I’m not too confident about this second half…


So he’s brought on those two, but why had he taken off Stu and not Mara!?

For the same reason that he thinks that Bazunu is a goal keeper.

I’m opening up a book if anyone’s interested. Will Mara pass straight to a Sunderland player on the edge of our box more often than Manning gets caught out of position? Odds are pretty much even
Any takers?

Well at least with it being the international break now, it’s only Stephens that looks like he won’t be back before the Leicester game. And that break can help us to get those new players settled in and for RM can now see which players, who’ll be with us for a few more months, can do what and hopefully make today very much a one off situation!

This should be a wake up call for us. Get a game like this out of the way early in the season and never have a repeat! What an embarrassment!

The issue is that shit doesn't become gold, Bazunu is shit, Stephens is shit, Bednarek is shit, Holgate coming here had Evertonians rolling around pissing themselves laughing (my mates) so I'm not hopeful of extra training will turn them anything into slightly older shit by the time our next match comes round.

Let’s be honest our results have flattered us compaired with our performances. Late goals in the first 3 games and QPRs bad miss meant it looked good. We could easily be sat on 3 points right now.

Totally embarrassing

Baz - take a few weeks off
Mara - should have gone on loan
Manning - team of the year ? Can we get Perraud back ?
Charles - learn how to head at goal
Smallbone and Downes are too lightweight for a central midfield pairing
Whole Team - I know it may have been confusing for you today, but we are the team in black, so fvckin we'll pass to players in black FFS !!

Now 5 FFS
Literally unbelievable !!

The back four that finished the game…

LB KWP
LCB Manning
RCB Bednarek
RB Charles

Dear god that’s bad, we’ve got the players but I think big Russ picked the wrong ones today. Deffo need Charles as a defensive mid, Mara awful. Fraser and Che should have started as well. Hopefully Holgate and Bazanu Will be dropped

Not sure what the plan was there and the team selection was baffling. Carved open time and again. Smallbone was atrocious and Holgate looked like he'd never played before. And then we go to a long ball team in the second half with 5ft Fraser expected to win headers.

Be interesting to see what Martin says given he basically hung his players out to dry after the league cup loss.

Everyone was utterly sh*te today!
Bazunu at fault for their 3rd one and made a few other mistakes that almost lead to goals.
Manning and KWP both caught out of position far to many times, and both at fault for a goal.
Holgate and Bednerak both doing very little, giving away the ball far too much and at fault for most of the goals today, with Holgate being especially poor with his passing.
Midfield wise, Downes was unlucky around the own goal, but still should’ve done more for their 2nd and 5th one, and Charles just couldn’t put any of those bearded chances away from the corners.
Then Stu, Fraser, Adams, Edozie and A.Armstrong all just created nothing and could barely ever get the ball into the box, Edozie having a few early chances to get a goal before the game was put to bead!
And then Alcaraz didn’t create much but gave away the ball poorly for their 5th goal, and Mara did bugger all both up front and at the back creating nothing and marking nobody for their first goal!

Overall everyone was appalling today, and I sure do hope RM can sort out a lot of this nonsense over the international break, so that when we play Leicester we play our best 11 and don’t make so many appealing mistakes! As I think it’s just Sulamamna, TP and the city defender that haven’t exactly been given a chance in the championship now, but with how we performed today I can’t see them doing much worse!
But hopefully just like Burnley’s 5-2 defeat to Sheffield United last season, this is just a little bump in the road…

12 goals conceded in 5 league games suggests Martin can’t set up a team that knows how to defend. The fault lies with him and him alone. At this rate we will conceded over 100 goals by the end of the season. Why we can’t appoint a decent manager is beyond me. Jones Selles and now RM.
