Kid Icarus

Throwing the baby out with the bathwater comes to mind more for me.

Is that 'absolutely everything'? Probably where the hyperbole bit comes in.

For posterity Pope: 6 Trippier: 4 Lascelles: 7 Botman: 4.5 Burn: 5 Bruno: 6 Joelinton: 6 Longstaff: 5 Almiron: 5.5 Wilson: 3 Gordon: 5.5 ASM: 6 Isak: 6.5 Willock: 6.5 Murphy: 6.5

It's somehow more annoying that we've wasted loads again, they've barely done anything, and scored from the 2 only chances they've had Surely Howe has to get them doing almost exclusively shooting drills this week

Aye, from an xG of like 15

You don't seem to think Botman's to blame for Botman's misplaced passes, so maybe

Joelinton about 10 minutes ago and in plenty of other matches. Why not include Wilson either? He's supposed to be our main goalscorer and has one of the highest xGs in the league. I'd bet good money on him having the worst xG to goal conversion rates in the league post world cup

Absolute nonsense, Lascelles easily.

Foden got the better of him twice, both of which included him getting the better of other players at the same time.

We absolutely still create plenty of chances like, whether by hook or crook. The problem is that we miss them.

This one, the one where he's misplaced pass after pass. Can only assume the people singling out Burn have been mistaking Botman for his, he's been incredibly sloppy.

No idea why people are singling out Burn when it's clearly been our star boys Botman and Trippier who've been the standout bad performances in the back 4.

A million missed chances and they score both of theirs. Shocking from Trippier there. We desperately need something to change with our finishing, because this is a real problem now.

Trippier, you fucking idiot

Didn't think he was that bad tbh. Wilson sterl the sher as far as bad performances that half went, woeful.

Wilson desperately needs dropping like, he's killing us now.

A half that was a microcosm of our recent matches for me. Good spells We look knackered Missing big chances (Gordon, Longstaff, and Wilson) Longstaff dawdling on a sitter Wilson missing a sitter and having a complete waste of time performance overall A goal conceded from a deflection off Botman An absolutely world class performance in shocking refereeing

Lascelles is understandable I suppose. Position for Position and you don't want to chuck Targett in at the deep end. Starting Wilson is baffling to me at this stage though, he's so out of form.

Strange that it never has been imo.

Watch them somehow just continue to buy players

Maybe controversial, but for me any Sunderland song is a loss. I don't think there's anything better, or anything that winds them up more than us not even acknowledging their existence. If we can do that for real, even better, because as Keegan used to say we should be above that.

Imagine Garth Crooks in your ear at like 8:46am when you're on a come down. It's just you and him.

It's about time tbh, I'm fairly certain he's been concussed 16 times this year

The main point is that it's true or if you disagree it's at least believable. Pardew was at best a blatant liar who basically tried to gaslight a fanbase

Fraser talked more highly of Howe than any other player as well.
