That's absolutely right. Why don't we try a 4-2-3-1 formation with Wissa up front and Nick behind him?

Yes, that scene was really bad. I think he made a wrong decision and wanted to pass to Elanga briefly.

And I didn't see him play here. But I read that he was a star. When you see him play for Liverpool and compare that to Ikitike, you wonder how anyone would pay €145 million for such a bumbling loser. Rummenigge would have laughed himself silly.

Sorry, but that's nonsense. I doubt you've seen Isak play for Liverpool. The way Isak plays there is a joke.

That's unfair.

Hmm, you remember his first two goals were headers? And he added a terrible own goal header today. Nick can head the ball.

To attribute even more competence to Elanga than to Nick is, in my opinion, incredible. Shame on you, forgetting everything Nick accomplished in the first two months? Elanga is the biggest flop of all the acquisitions.

What? You didn't see Mesut Özil or Kai Havertz?! Nick's a berserker compared to them!

I understand the frustration today. Sleep on your statement for a night. Here's my other post: Today's derby was a typical 0-0 draw. And yes, Nick ruined the most important game of the season with his horrendous own goal. His teammates were just as bad, but were lucky enough not to score such a needless own goal. His many good performances in the first two months were finally undone today. There's hardly a bigger fall from grace – from budding legend to clown. I hope Nick comes out of this slump stronger than before.

Get well soon, Dan, and I hope it's not as bad as it looked.

For me, Elanga is the biggest flop of all the purchases this season.

In the national team, his teammates simply have better quality and can get Nick involved in the game. The wingers here currently lack the quality to find Nick with the right passes. They simply lack the quality of their crossing and passing. Unfortunately, Nick's form has been declining in recent weeks. On top of that, the other players aren't performing well either. Barnes and Miley occasionally show flashes of talent, but their play is too inconsistent. Elanga has been a complete failure so far this season. Tino has technical deficiencies, as does Hall. The only consistent performers so far have been Bruno and Thiaw.

Brobbey keeps falling down. I don't like him

Now I'm pissed off at Nick too. He's going on the bench.

Eddie urgently needs to find the right position for Nick. I'd play Wissa up front and Nick behind him. Maybe a 4-2-3-1.

And I'm telling you – we'll get our chance and we'll win this thing. Sunderland won't score. And hopefully Brobbey will be sent off soon.

Wissa goes into the box and Nick behind him. Nick's position is behind the center striker. Let's play a 4-4-1-1.

Bobbey, the bastard, Must get yellow-red.

ASTRA - German beer from Hamburg.

Let me have a beer first, then I'll cheer you up again.

It's going to be tough today. But it's derby time. Let's celebrate and have a beer. I'm hoping for a win, but I'm afraid we'll throw away a lead again right at the end. Besides, Nick's form is kind of dipping, which is making me feel down. Sorry I'm not as positive as usual today.

but I am the toon

And Nick has already played a good game, as he brilliantly forced the penalty kick.

Not a good game from us.
