    for us to sign a player from a decently sized footy emerging country. I see the way Heung Min Son is worshipped in South Korea and wonder could we have tapped into a little bit of that if we'd signed someone like that

    Greenwood going off killed the game. Missing his pressing. Coburn the slowest player I’ve ever seen

    Agreed that Coburn was the main impact to our loss of impetus in attack. He is slow and clumsy and exactly what Sunderlands defenders wanted to face. We were pulling them apart with fast movement and Coburn is a battering ram. He also looks to have lost confidence. 

    On the ref thing, I thought there were poor freekicks given when there was no foul. The fry incident should have been given, the handball wouldnt have surprised me if it was given or not though. 

  3. I'd give a couple of tips around this whole type of area

    Don't use Edge, use Chrome or Firefox instead. Edge has improved a lot but still lags behind the other 2 even though based on chromium

    Use Adblock or Ublock extensions, and Privacy Badger too

    Use Avast, Avira or BitDefender for AV

    Back up your important data regularly (use onedrive or something like that with a restore functionality)

    And (not helpful in this case) don't click on random links.

    I though Coburn played well held the ball up well he was often very isolated though asked to keep the ball against numerous villa players on him. 

    yes but he's also only scored like 3 goals this season? Strikers need to have some sort of composure in front of goal and Coburn does not yet have that. Fine if your 3 behind are banging them in but they are not doing that either.

    Not to mention that by the time they scored their goal we'd take off a lot of good players and put on the likes of Gilbert and coulson, we weren't trying that hard ha

    I thought when we made that change we were going to concede. Now, we had to make that change really. But still it stung to go out in that fashion.

  6. Have to say we looked terrible most of the game in my opinion and I thought the result was only ever going one way. Our goal was completely out of the blue and penalties are a lottery to say the least - nice to get the goal after missing it though. Can't believe the 2 missed open goals in the 1st half though. That performance and result somewhat makes up for Rotherham though. We are simply too inconsistent right now, though the selections being forced on us through injury don't help.

  7. Unfortunately its real goals for and against that matters rather than imaginary goals. Last few seasons we've been crushing it in the stats but failing to convert dominance into goals, meanwhile letting ridiculous worldies in way too frequently. I love looking at xG but its also a bit of a mugs game sometimes!

    Barlaser's audacious dink which would have been world class if it had started a great move leading to a goal, but it didn't).

    but it might have! and thats the beauty of playing that way. You can play through and around teams rather than giving them the ball from a hoof and letting them build sustained pressure in safety. I do wish he had got rid that one time though mind you, but I really appreciate the bravery of the players and the vision of the manager in playing that way.
