Swansea (2) 2 Sunderland (1) 4 Much improved second half after dismal first and a second texted 7 came in shortly afterwards – Always good to win away in Europe!
Readers on this site will know that my biggest bugbear is the amount of foul throws perpetrated by professional footballers, and ignored by professional referees. Today's wasn't ignored however and it cost us 3 points. Back to school Yedlin.
Another winning position needlessly hoyed away. Apart from the errors leading to their goal, I'd also be inclined to criticise Allardyce's tinkering (once again) when we're doing alright. LEAVE WELL ALONE SAM!
This is becoming a habit . We go infront , sit far too deep for far too long and the inevitable happens . I don't think we'll scrape our way out of the clarts this year .
Yedlin is an absolute clown. How much a week and can't take a throw in?
Another two points thrown away by Sam. It was in the bag, just like the Soton game. Bad subbing for me, again.
I'm assuming Kaboul was injured, but N'Doye for Khazri made no sense at all; there was a feeling at that point all the initiative had been handed to the mags. A poor decision.
If Kirchhoff can't last 90 minutes and once he comes off we concede points, let's be unconventional and let him sit out the first half hour then bring him on.
Just park the bus or whatever it takes to hold out for that first 30 minutes then bring on the cavalry.
OK so this is a bit tongue in cheek, but how long will it take for him to be fit enough to play 90 minutes? We don't have time to spare at this stage.
