Dyeyzzon

His sub decisions are just too predictable. I feel like he does the tweaks based on prejudice. "Oh I'll bring Shola on so he can batter their tired defenses." "Oh I'll keep Jonas on because he's such a tireless worker." "Oh I'll bring Hatem on because he can rescue us with little tactical adjustment." "Oh I'll leave Cisse on cause he wakes up in the 90th minute." "Oh I'll haul Gouffran and Cabaye off as he cannot last 90 minutes." "Oh I'll bring on *random young lad* to add fresh legs." and so on.

Top 5 to Bottom 5 in under a year

I'd have taken a draw at the start but it's really annoying as f*** that it was a game we could've won but for the burden of our manager's decisions.

"Fortitier Defendit Triumphans"

Yep looks like trying to prove a point Not to mention he had a week's rest at last.

While we have a thread like this, Pards sets up to defend for both games.

so much it's unreal. Eh! hes f***ing unreal! It's really what was expected.

Elliot Debuchy Coloccini Yanga-Mbiwa Haidara Cabaye Sissoko Ben Arfa Marveaux Gouffran Cisse Customary 2-1 away defeat. Might be more confident next week.

Feels like it was a generation ago.

Aye, like England-Germany in 2010. Counted or not, what matters is that you perform amd keep performing.

The decision to bring on Shola was just baffling. It's the type a child would make just to stick a Geordie lad up front who happens to have a good record against Sunlun. Ben Arfa should've come on that early. Imagine how much creativity we could be having if we had Gouff, Sissoko, Cabaye, Marv and Hatem all breathing down their necks.

And there we go.

This.

Not sure how the lads would react should we show him the door now. Seems to be popular in the dressing room. I'll just hope he pulls his s*** together till the end of the season.

Think he's just jaded. Needs a rest soon, and prolly Coloccini to come back and retake the armband and lift the pressure off him.

Ban. Didn't realize it was on legendary the b******.

Pards outsmarted by another Italian.

I lost to Sunlun on FIFA twice today. Both 3-0.

Yep. I'm a foreigner but I was weeping when Vaughan's shot went in. Not fully free from abuse after one of my mates started supporting Sunlun after hacing a decent run with them on FIFA.

Great goals from Sunderland it must be said, but that was shameful.

I've never been nervous just f***ing angry at the performance My thoughts atm.

Rose has got pace.

Oh, a wild Shola appeared. Gouffran off
