why can't they?
Or they create the space to allow for the late arriving midfielderThe balls Rudoni consistently gets to completely disprove the theory that they just don't get the service, we actually get quite a few reasonable quality balls into the box every game, our strikers just have no desire to properly attack them.
If agree. As the minutes go by the more I think it's all set up to go horribly wrong for them, IF we get our approach rightI think if we score the first goal, their plan goes out of the window. Haven't there been times this season when their fans have been booing them, despite the amount of time spent in the top 6. Think the place becomes nervy if we can grab the first goal.
Of course.If agree. As the minutes go by the more I think it's all set up to go horribly wrong for them, IF we get our approach right
Although of course I'd rather it was 1-1

He really did. You could see their winger dropping back to help the LB out every time after he'd been booked.Of course.
Hopefully, we come up with a plan, they are all keen to put things right and get at them.
Sakamoto had them in bits at times, we need more of that, some bravery and aggression. All it takes is for their fans to get a bad feeling and things could start to swing in our favour.
I’d be tempted however I have doubts over EMC’s ability to last 90 after a decent time outWilson
MvE Thomas Kitching DaSilva
Sheaf Grimes
Sakamoto Rudoni Mason-Clark
Wright
After an hour if it's still 0-0 then you bring Simms or BTA on and go two up top imo
Yeah this exactly. That's all it takes, just to get them worried enough to start getting on their backs and it can all change.It was only a few games ago they booed their players off the pitch, sat in 4th place doing that is wild!
Frustrating result but on the flip side Sunderland can’t deploy the same game plan they did last night at their place which I think will suit us more.
Last few years we’ve turned them over at the SOL, comfortably on a number of occasions. Weirdly I think it might work in our favour them winning, almost gives them a false confidence. More open game without them putting 10 men behind the ball and slowing the game down as much as possible will see us a better team.
First goal is key, we get it and we blow them out the water…I hope
Because their at home and they can’t just sit back and expect to soak up pressure and catch us on the break.
We saw last night when they scored, it woke us up and we equalised in two minutes after a bit more clinical pressure on them.
I was at the other end so didn't realise how fucking bad it was.
He was shite for both goals.Same for me - Super Ben
Sacrifice Sheaf in Ur extra
Or they create the space to allow for the late arriving midfielder
2 very average sides, we haven’t got that bit of quality for games like thatFunny the first time they beat us in a long time, it wasnt really them it was us who beat ourselves
Worth saying, they will get absolutely mullered playing like that against Sheffield United if they see the job through
As much as I can’t stand the greasy little Judas, O’Hare would have a field day against them playing that negatively and would find the little pockets of space
Both sides aren’t really good enough
“greasy little Judas” lol
there’s every chance we can go there and win . but can just see it playing out like it did last night, wer‘e even more predictable away from home, missed a massive chance yesterday didn’t get why we played BTA when we were hoping to score from crosses and long throws, least simms gives a bit of height in there, BTA got the nod because of 20 mins Saturday against Boro’s high line, wasn’t the game for him
The plan is to overload one side and get the midfielders supporting the strikers in the box.We’re just so ponderous under Lampard it can get incredibly frustrating. I feel like if we put someone through one on one he’d stop and check back to the CBs.
You are aware where you are right? Any signs of a concussion? This is OTT centralJeez, we lost 2-1. That appears to be a cause to immediately write off some of our top players including Wright who is comfortably one of the best forwards in the division. Over reaction
Exactly, we all know how to play against us and wer‘e always giving goals like that away, perfect away game for them, thats a few games now where we’ve changed a winning team and lost ?I hope it does go the same way as last night. On another night we break the dead lock and do not gift them two goals.
I’ve seen plenty of talk about how their manager engineered a tactical masterclass… That’s a stretch. Sunderland defended well and we’ve made two errors that lead to two goals.

fucking hell didnt realise we dominated them for the 90 that much makes it even more annoying we handed them the advantage
We dominated possession, we didn't dominate them. The game went to plan for them.
We dominated possession against Derby, Plymouth and even to a lesser extent Sheff U yet we lost all 4 games.
FL showed on this occasion he was tactically inept.Spot on.
That's what happens when you have a midfield two of Sheaf and Grimes and no striker who can hold up the ball.
To be fair Sunderland wouldn't play like that in a final, it was a specific situation to counter Lampard's tactics.Worth saying, they will get absolutely mullered playing like that against Sheffield United if they see the job through
As much as I can’t stand the greasy little Judas, O’Hare would have a field day against them playing that negatively and would find the little pockets of space
Exactly this, they were more than happy to sit back with everyone behind the ball while we tapped it around. Not like their keeper was making world class save after world class save.We dominated possession, we didn't dominate them.
