what went wrong last night against sunderland?

we dont seem to play premiership football anymore. At the beginning of the season, there were lots of quick, pass short passing moves - even before the new signings. Now it seems like we are playing hoofball, with no imagination.

I think that's what Warnock meant by going back to basics. Sadly it isn't what's going to work for us: the right way would have been to keep the ball moving quickly with some fluid movement, pretty much like it was when we played the Toon. None of that was fancy, it really was back to basics football and just goes to show that it is an easy game when you keep it simple.

Is it just me or in the first half was there no-one on the left wing?
It seemed like Barton, Faurlin & Derry were in the center with Wright-P out right but no-one on the left utill Wright-P swapped then left the Right side with no-one there.

poor set pieces

poor defending..

No imagination going forward..

They scored more goals than us.

but when SWP swapped he became ineffective. he had a good opening 20min but then faded and came off.

Connolly and Gabbidon is too prone to at least one fatal fault per match.

Pressure mate. But we bring it on ourselves and it's getting worse by the game. No disgrace in losing or being outplayed by better sides, but aiding and abetting the lesser teams with poor team selection, tactics and substitutions isn't helping matters.

Spot on, and forget cliches like "us punching above our weights" etc. etc.

If that was the case, what about Norwich and Swansea?

In my view, we are in desperate lack of team spirit.
No wonder when many of the players are being played out of their position week in and week out.

Were you at the game? He wasnt brilliant no, but he done an awful lot more than most of our players. Wasnt bad at all IMO.

I was and have been to the majority of games this season. He was great at the start of last season and has come back well from injury. But I don't think his premiership standard. He works his socks off but IMO lacks the needed quality. With Barton and SWP we know they have the quality, and they've both shown it at stages this season, but they have also been disappointing as well.

sunderland have some good defenders that have int exp we didnt have a clue at times . bramble won most of the headers and the ball kept coming back. barton faurlin traore need to drop and play football kenny needs to look to roll it out whenever he can . Rio ferdinand on sunday wanted it short all the time
