Surely Butland would be a better option for them as a GK?

The other worrying thing is that we haven't scored more than once in a match since January

Stoke are a weird one. They do well away but at home they have been well beaten for instance against Everton and only got narrow victories against Newcastle and Aston Villa. Nevertheless, I would be extremely happy with a point. A loss would be a bad result, we can't afford for the teams around us to gain any more ground than they already have, if we are serious about Europe.

Is there a link or any substance to this, or is a troll post by the OP?

This time last year, they were ripping up League 2 with Awford and co. Tempus fugit and all that

Given their illustrious history, have they been invited to this new European Super League yet?

We need a striker who can score goals. He was good at that but evidently he has declined in ability and is no longer good enough for us.

Let's be honest, Koeman had little choice but to play Pelle and Mané. Hopefully Long will start at Stoke and Pelle and Mané are both sold in the summer. Both have had plenty of chances and they have failed to deliver. Their time at this football club is over.

Only one game out for Fonte, it would be three if it was violent conduct.

Am I the only one who doesn't think we've been that bad???!! We've created chances, their keeper has made some good saves and we will score in the second half. Keep the faith.

We've got into some decent positions, Sunderland haven't kept a clean sheet for months. Keep the faith, we'll score eventually.

Everyone knows it happens, irrespective of whether it is illegal or not. Regulate it and tax it.

I wonder how this Adam Johnson thing will affect Sunderland on Saturday.

We have to win this match. No excuses now.

You only have to look at the TV viewing figures for the Champions League this season to see that public appetite in this country is for the Premier League and not European football.

In 2010, we went to Wembley and won a trophy (and took 50,000 fans). They went twice that year and won nothing. And they still had cup final tickets on sale on the day itself. Another Portsmyth debunked.

Everyone had a bad night. Unfair to bring up just one person. If we won and he had a bad performance, fair enough, but nobody played well yesterday.

Well this time last week I would've said this was a home banker... It's obvious we do much better against teams that sit back, so hopefully Big Sam will park the bus like Pulis tried to do and another 3-0 victory awaits

I was the one 'oo discovered Austin at QPR, surely I deserve a cut of the transfer fee. In £50 notes and a brown envelope, cheers mush

And to think just two games ago we were discussing Champions League again

Still in 7th but Chelsea just 1 point behind us now

Awful performance

Deserved nothing. Clasie must start in the next game.

I'm having serious doubts about your ability to troll. You must do better, you're far too obvious I'm afraid.

We clearly miss Clasie in midfield. Mané is a waste of space, £30M please and get rid in the summer
