Simms was put in on goal in the first minute at Stoke and made an utter pig's ear of it with poor touches and decision making

He needs about 3 touches even to get the ball under reasonable control at centre half. He would be a disaster in midfield.

He didn't end last season well, he hasn't scored since Wembley. I'm not sure if it's instruction but he just isn't getting involved in the game enough. I think perhaps the roles of the front 3 are a bit rigid at times, Simms stays dead central when if he moves out into the channels he could...

Of Sunderland's 6.1 xG, 5.3 have come from teams below us in the table. Wipe them all off if you ask me.

Not sure you can say that after 4 games. One other player does not necessarily mean the performance levels of others improves.

Pretty much any team at this level would miss a player like Sheaf if he's injured, I don't understand this idea that you have perfect cover for your best players. It's unrealistic.

That's it, otherwise he's been really poor especially away from home. His final ball and decision making needs lots of work too. Why they wearing Watford colours m8?

Desperately short is just 5 senior midfielders for 3 spots. However will we manage.

You don't get points for signing players you don't really want either

As much as James would probably be a useful addition, if Sheaf is back either at Watford or in the following game, James isn't necessarily going to play.

Sakamoto has been shite so far this season to be honest

It isn't though, is it? It's being greatly exaggerated. The underlying stats in fact do not show that the midfield is being overrun. There are some tweaks that need to be made and performances from some players need to get better, but it is nowhere near as bad as some of the hysteria on here...

Wilson said himself at the awards dinner he was told to look for another club, didn't he?

Amazing that nobody came in for him in the summer then, isn't it? In this case, I wasn't even slating him, just saying that Marosi was no worse than him.

No worse than Wilson

God almighty, the negativity is just depressing. We're in a similar place to the beginning of last season, not playing as badly as our points tally suggests:

It's funny how a lot of right wingers have woken up to the impact of austerity now the 'other side' is doing it. One study found that it had killed about 190k people between 2010 and 2019...

I think it's the mayonnaise which they always put loads of, maybe the bread has some additives but not sure

It's a big if though isn't it. Even things like packed sandwiches are more calorific than if you'd made similar at home
