Johnson was so poor, it was unbelievable

In fairness to them they looked good on the break in the first half. Fortunate to get gifted the two goals from horrible Swansea defending but that doesn't matter, good result for them in the end tbh.
this is where I struggle
we looked quite clinical and in control when we got the ball against swansea, sat back and waited. From the half hour i watched Sunderland today- they were chasing shadows like headless chickens, misplacing backpases to keeper comedy style etc- and while I was watching it i wasnt aware swansea only had 10 men.
I think we are stronger than we were at the start of last season. plus if we get a full season out of S taylor, this is also an obvious improvement on last. My biggest concern is not getting a replacement in for R Taylor. That said- the fact we didnt move our best players on is positive.
