3/10 After a slight glimpse of higher pressing and quicker attacking than under Puel we have reverted to sideways passing and not scoring. Doesn’t seem to know his best team and certain selections are just bizarre.
Well we didn’t lose, but draws against these sort of sides at home are not good enough. We are unlikely to get squat at Spurs or United and suddenly the Palace game looks a six pointer.
Very different. And it is very different to the season we were relegated.
Us in 2004/5 bumped along in the bottom 3 all season and looked shot from the very beginning. Some shocking signings to boot.
Not saying we won’t get dragged in, I think we might. But it’s not Sunderland Houdini act.
