Sunderland - Post Match Discussion

[Mick Jones shoulder]

Poor, deserved nothing. Ref was poor aswell.

[Irish Ian]

Gray and James doesnt work down that right either. No threat from either. It means that Rutter has to come bouncing over which just brings more defenders into the mix.

I would like to see Rutter running into space and recieving the ball instead of always coming towards the ball and having to do his tricks.

[CUSSIE01]

First time I have doubted Farke was tonight.

Our approach was all wrong, it ended up with " give the ball to Jimmy".

He has to be able to get better out of those players.

At no point did we look dangerous, even the two penalty shouts were gifts from them rather than anything special our lads did.

This, ^, can’t be arsed to write anything for myself.

[Morpheus]

Did anyone just watch Bamfords post match Sky interview?

Totally carefree and laid back attitude, seeing a point as almost a bonus.

He doesn’t care and I almost feel as though he’s getting a slight kick out of it.

Not nice to see.

[Leeds1000]

Awful night. No urgency, no intricate passing, disjointed, players flailing their arms around because of lack of movement. How can we not muster up the energy at this stage of the season. I'm pissed off with that tonight. Woeful truly woeful.

[Jaydog]

I agree with all the general criticism but the officiating is atrocious. Especially the second pen shout. Both are nailed on by VAR. The die was cast early when the ref let Ballard off with a warning and not a card.

[DDB220]

Gruev was winding me up. He gets the ball. Dithers plays it back and then points his arm forwards suggesting either Rodon or Amps take responsibility to get it forward. He did it so often it was winding me up.
He wasn’t the only one but we have nothing dynamic or progressive between him and Kamara against an organised team.

[Jaydog]

Cjinx I might be but I highlighted it in Championship thread.

Leicester don't have a great record at The Den

You did but still…
Ipswich must be licking their chops big time.

Tbf that is Bamford. He is always laid back in an interview regardless of what has happened on the pitch.

[VinnysTattoo]

I think these last two results have been on the cards for a while.

Can’t get the obsession with Bamford either.

[whiteinfrance]

Yes Gruev and Kamara just play the ball back and sideways, no creativity.

We never get anything from corners

We need Watford to do us a favour tomorrow

Looking unlikely for the autos at the moment

[SG90]

I said befire, but we need to bring back Pablo for these last few games, even just as a presence behind the scenes. Berardi too.

EFL need to keep the cash cow.

[The Subhuman]

If you start the game with 9 men then our creative players will struggle. Bamford for the third game running was a hinderance, James form is waning. Kamara goes more into his shell every week. I'm bloody sure he was a lot better earlier in the season with nice flicks and clever passes

This is a Farke thing, it feels like he doesn't want to lose. I got stuck behind a brand new car today who's driver was driving so defensively it was a painful 7 miles. I swear he slowed down to 10 mph if a car came the opposite way!!.. That's Farke driving Leeds atm. He's not playing to win but hoping other teams fail

[The Subhuman]

I think Paddy is excellent at getting managers to think he's the son they never had ...

[SG90]

Leicester play Friday and no Ipswich this weekend, so no real excuses

[60sUnited]

I've held the belief for a long time that it would at best be play offs....as supporters we get carried away with how good we are but other teams don't give a toss about that, they just turn up and play to their abilities....and quite lately usually get a result ! We will be in the play offs....no doubt....then it's down to mentality with a bit of luck....I'm resigned to that now and got to admit feel better for it.

[The Subhuman]

Who's starting the Blackburn pre match chat ?

We're not cup lucky. I wouldn't expect to come through via the playoffs.

[VinnysTattoo]

We are sleep walking into the playoffs unfortunately
