Thedelldays Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 very poor from all really..the players and the manager...hardly (if at all) shots on target... if Ramirez played for another team we would laugh very loudly about the waste of money spent...he is way too inconsistent... mayuka looked lost in the 1st half.... puncheon was poor on another note...I would say Guly was MoM with De Ridder a close 2nd edit, to be in this position after the run of fixtures we have had at home is poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BotleySaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 It is going to be a tough couple of months. No real threat up front if Lambert isn't hitting them in. Ramirez isn't working out as good as we had hoped (so far) and we resorted to throwing on reserve players, with little real match experience to change the game. Our lack of depth and quality is being shown up again. Sunderland were absolutely terrible, but we were much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGC Saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 Bloody frustrating ansd that two week break and losing Lallana has certainly done us no bloody good.

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 Can't expect to produce a good performance after 2 weeks off against a team that has won 3 of their past 25. We'll be fine, can't believe all the bedwetters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambosa75 Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 The archetypal away performance. Got their noses in front and then defended as if their lives depended on it. Can't fault the effort, Sunderland stopped us from passing the ball around and gave us no time on the ball. Roll on the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightspark Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 Utterly abject. Disgusting performance. Half the team didn't look interested, must have felt down because of the rain. Lambert did nothing, Mayuka was disappointing, De Ridder was about as exciting as a hard boiled egg and Puncheon looked like his dog had died. Where was Rodriguez? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Massive response required at Fulham after that disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 Lacking in quality all over the pitch today. Deliveries, not just from set-pieces, were just never going to trouble them. The only decent cross I saw all game was ironically from SDR from that corner to set up Fonte - whose header was wide anyway. We clearly miss Lallana.

dubai_phil Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 Great credit to MON for his tactics today. Sunderland worked their socks off to close us down and deny our creative players any space. Once they stopped Puncheon & with Ramirez having a cameo game we didn't have enough nous to find a way out of the stranglehold. Dreadful result, makes Xmas very tough now. Oh and a well done to SDR for not looking awful when he came on and putting the ONLY decent cross in all day from his first corner. Shame about every other ball. Those who have said Puncheon is a flat track bully? Yep been proven (again) today. Taters comment?

Dr. Kucho Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 Ramirez, Puncheon, Schneiderlin and Mayuka were rubbish today. Def missing Lallana,s play and balls in to the box. On a positive note, defence looked solid and De Ridder was lively. Logging of for the night as I am angry with Saints and have loads of work to do:x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkeith Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 We need to play Reeves out left for the next couple of games. None of the wide men played well, one corner from De Ridder does not count as a good performance, although that is better than his usual contribution. Guly looked lively though, but it needs a rethink for Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yate Saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 Bit of a lame performance. Sunderland wanted it more.

Legod Third Coming Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 There is enough talent on the pitch but really lacked a strategy today.

Ex Lion Tamer Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 Let's not forget that Sunderland have mostly been pretty solid this season, they've just struggled to score goals.

MOSaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 Puncheon had a bad game, Ramirez had his poorest game since signing, Cuellar & O'Shea had Lambert in their pocket and the service up to Mayuka first half was all wrong & Cork/Morgan got out battled in midfield. Horrible performance, but a decent opportunity to bounce back against a nosediving Fulham on Boxing Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Weststand Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 Very disappointing, no real penetration today against a very ordinary Sunderland side.

Leicestersaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 Poor all round. Why did we look so lethargic? What have they been doing during the two-week gap? Did they go away for a few days in the sun to recharge their batteries and bond a bit or did they just waste their time? What worried me is that Sunderland looked sharper and seemed to want it more - we were second to the ball too often and hardly troubled their keeper at all. A very disappointing performance against another poor side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
