Sunderland v Leeds Utd Match Thread

Looping it on Sky atm, every time I’m expecting him to gather the ball.

Poor lad, I feel so sorry for him.

I don't, he does my head in.

[The Subhuman]

Gattingesque .
Does look like it turned a lot

Does it, my first impression is it went through his legs. Will need to see it again

[Jaydog]

Not sure about that, he had been collecting and kneeling down mode and I'd assume there was no next.

His body is moving one way and the ball goes slightly the other way. It’s poor goalkeeping but I’d cut him some slack. He’s going to suffer badly for that

Think it went past him on the right.

[1964white]

Was the ball going wide, the ball grazed his arm?

[The Subhuman]

You'll get plenty of chances to see it again it'll be shown on tv's footballs greatest gaffs for ever more.

[1964white]

That error confirms why I'm nervous whenever the ball is in our box.

[Irish Ian]

So two goals for Firpo and in a weird way two assists for the cross between BPF and KIko the Clown

[MightyWhites]

Spin on the ball I think, aaaagggggghhhhhh.

No football spins that much FFS!

Naturally, SKY are milking it.

As will the BBC morning news, who generally ignore our games.

As soon as a ball like that strikes a player (Firpo) it spins big time. Its basic goalkeeping to get your body behind it but he’s wanting to take the ball out of danger by moving to his left. Ball goes slightly the other way and you’re screwed

[Cjay]

I think it would have been a fortunate win. Would have taken 3 points. But draw was a fair result overall.

Draw probably a fair result as you say but to snatch a draw from the jaws of victory is frustrating

He was probably thinking about sea turtles

[BlackHillsPaul]

Unbelievable mistake by Meslier!!! At first I though the ball spun past him. Buy on replay it looks like he just moved too far left and then took his eye off the ball. Terrible positioning and lack of concentration. And a mistake that cost us two points and top of the table prior to the international break. That's inexcusable. And he should sit out the next game to think about it. His teammates couldn't believe it.

But that was the one moment that we all breathed easily as it was straight into the keeper’s arms…

[JoeDenver]

He was pointing at the pitch. But it didn't look like it did anything.

Exactly. He has one responsibility. He failed.

That moment caps his career at Leeds for me.

We’ve been saying he’s a weak link for a long time. Needs to be binned off in January. How can DF and the rest of the team trust him after this?

[1964white]

I feel like we've lost tonight.

[Jaydog]

He was probably thinking about sea turtles

He certainly moves like one
