Blimey, 59% possession

Sissoko has been our best player, and its not even close Janmaat is definitely putting in a similar level performance.

Again proving we need him here until he loses it, not before. As if Mitrovic would have missed that. Nothng special about that goal except tons of luck that the ball simply looped over the goalkeeper due to the deflection. Anyway, HT: decent start of the campaign. Would he have made that run though? Its not luck when you react quicker than everyone else Exactly, just being there is an skill in itself.

And to handle a fucking ball! Absolutely shit imo. He's been piss poor whenever I've seen him throughout pre-season as well.

Unfortunately there's no way Haidara can really come off given the options we have on the bench, as he really has been utterly shocking (cross for the goal aside). I'd like to see Aarons on at half time for Obertan and Mitrovic around 65-70 for Cisse. I like that we're playing the ball around the back but I don't trust them not to fuck it up, I'm so nervous watching them

He really does.

Cisse actually looked fast then.

Dat total football.

Get in!!!

Haidara is fucking terrible, man.

Dem Coventry fan comments. Nice to see even if premature

You can't not with what we have. We all have a preferred 11, but that isn't often the most effective 11 - it's a bunch of favourite players. If you're picking an 11 that's best equipped to win you a game then Sissoko should be in it.

He's got too much end product to not be shoe horned in regardless IMO. Right mid/wing isn't his strongest position but he still gets assists there. Needs to start no matter what given what we've got at the moment (IMO).

I would sooner see Pardew crash and burn than Sunderland tbh.

Urgh

That looked like a push on Bassong.

I heard that

I think we'll start slow but also think he'll improve us given a bit of time. I really like hearing what he has to say. He comes across so much more professional than anything we've had under Ashley, and I'm desperate for him to do well if only to kill the apathy that's taken over my following of the club.

I think he'll be on the bench and Cisse will start. Probably only Wijnaldum will start of the new signings.

He'll be spitting at the opposition and offside every attack in no time

Fuck sake

Aarons just as guilty.
