You've been round long enough to know that there was no way we were gonna strut into the Stadium of Light and waltz away with a 0-3 win as so many predicted. You got carried away with the reported "crisis talks" at Sunderland and conveniently forgot that only two, I repeat two, games had been played. |
I'm not pleased at all, but I thought this would happen.
Although my acca did come in to the tune of £98 as a result. |  |

An away point isn't a bad result, but that was a missed opportunity. How we lost the 2nd half I do not know. We missed good chances and then ended up hanging on. One worry is that the ball did not 'stick' upfront after Gomis went off. At half-time I was thinking we'd be top four tonight, so can't help feeling a tad disappointed. |
I honestly have no idea why that change was made. We were well on top despite that dull equaliser and Gomis had just nearly won it.
Not unhappy, just a bit 'meh'. I don't think they'll be getting many points this season. We were a class better. |  |

facking hell
he run the show you eda |
Ran it into a draw.
Immobile in defence, dribbled too often, gave the ball away cheaply, more hollywood passes than the last two games put together.
Ash got bullied out there, too. Lucky he had Fernandez covering his fat arse. |  | | |

2 Points dropped. Ayew hit the post, Gomis unlucky.
Once Sunderland equalised we struggled to deal with the momentum swing, Lens had the beating of Naughton every time towards the end.
Fernandez caught out of position for the goal with a lapse in concentration.
Anyway, an away point to carry forwards. | | | |

Winning our home games and drawing away we are heading for 76 points! That would have got us 3rd last season.
Easy! Easy! |  |

nope
they are dreadful & will be in the mix again this season, its time to realise how good we are & my friend tou can see that , bring on Man utd because by fack we can beat them as well ,
thats confidence |
Confidence is believing we can go up there and beat them.
Arrogance is making comments such as "I'll buy everyone a pint if we lose this one."
Big difference. |  |

Good point, decent performance, hate to say it but Gylfi was anonymous for 3rd game in a row. |
Totally agree, time to give Grimes a run out, although some might say Gylfi runs his heart out, I don't think he can play his usual role with Ayew coming in from the right, I think it's Grimes time. |  | | |

Overall a point a fair result I thought.Game of 2 halves yadda yadda yadda.Everyone predicting an easy win should have known better being a Jack.No apparent injuries and a point away from home.I'm happy. |  | | |

If it wasn't for their keeper making a load of wonder saves we would have won that 14-1 | |

Honestly? I never thought we were in any trouble at all and they got a spawn break. Everything we do that was good went through Shelvey or Cork.
Sundeland and (please god) West Ham won't escape this year. | |

Glad to escape with a point in the end. Whatever dark satanic rituals Dick & Co practised during their 'emergency team meeting' last Sunday seemed like it was going to pay off; There can't be a goat left alive on Wearside.
This Sunderland team is possibly the worst team I've seen in our time in the top-flight. They are going to be relegated, despite their thuggish point today - they are an awful, awful football team. Dick knows it, all their fans know it, and their board know it. As such, a shame not to get the 3 points we deserved. [Post edited 22 Aug 2015 18:31]

Exactly. Apart from their goal which came from a punt upfield Fabianski didn't have to make a save.
Come to think of it he didn't make a save for the goal either. | |

I'm still not sure about Ayew. He leaves Naughton (not the best defender to begin with) very exposed and without attacking support, and does seem to block off a lot of Gylfi's natural runs. He huffed and puffed a lot today but didn't produce. Really poor shooting and no penetration on his passes.
Of course if he nods in one of the chances he got I don't say any of this. Maybe it's time to try him at 10 and let Routledge or Dyer return on the right to help the team's shape. | | | |

You heard the new Clutch single PRF?

I tend to agree. At the moment, much as I wish I didn't I don't think there's a place for Ayew and Sig. It's like when JDG was stuck on the wing. We are hobbling ourselves unnecessarily. I like both of them though, so I'm hoping it can be sorted. | |

Made me smile that. Given time (and beer) I'll be content with the point but I am gutted that a lapse of concentration in a game we dominated cost us the win we so richly deserved. | |

Agree with Jasper also.Been saying it for a few weeks that Siggy has become a passenger as Ayew is leaving his wing and playing the CAM role Siggy's allocated.And like Jasper says it does leave Naughton exposed at times.No need to panic just yet but I'd have liked to have seen Dyer come on for Siggy and switched Ayew to CAM and Dyer on the wing. | | | |
