Sunderland (A) - Tuesday 5th March - 7.45pm

[HybridFox]

This and Hull are two very difficult games. Today was the banker to ease some pressure.

 

Draw to stop the rot. Not good enough but we'll probably take it

[fox_favourite]

Skid mark in pants time 

[hackenbacker]

Let me guess what the Sunderland manager will be doing tomorrow?  Could he watching the Middlesbrough and QPR games ...... 

[Ian Nacho]

Id like to see Doyle, Coady, Cannon and Albrighton start. 

[Jimmy]

Mads

 

Nelson Faes Doyle

 

Hamza Winks

 

Albrighton Nacho KDH Marcal

 

Daka

 

and someone lie to Enzo telling him they have banned naming 3 CBs on the bench.

 

EDIT: hadn't seen the Ricardo news

be harsh on Faes or Nelson to be fair to them the weakness was on the left they kept attacking that area

It does feel like it needs something just a bit different. We’re suddenly showing a worrying lack of creativity. 

Yes. It's become too easy for the opposition to make the game 'stodgy'. And there's no point playing a system that requires two 8's now that we are almost out of decent options to play there. Play Nacho as a 10, KDH as the only 8. It would make us slightly light in midfield, but that may be to our advantage as it might invite a more open game.

and someone lie to Enzo telling him they have banned naming 3 CBs on the bench. I'd be really tempted to play Nacho as an 8 given the injuries and lack of creativity

Ricardo is injured till april

[jonny_wright]

Nacho in the no.8 - he can defo do a job there! 
 

Enzo not getting the best out of the squad for me, trusting players that let him down on occasions 

[Muzzy_no7]

Anything less than 4pts from the next 2 games and it’s the playoffs. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Winning this one 

[Number 6]

9 off relegation, 8 off play offs, in awful form. On paper this should be a great opportunity to get back to winning ways. Performance irrelevant.

Sunderland are doing shit but so are we.

 

Players need to step it up, bring in Coady, Albrighton and Vardy. 

100% this please !

Or Even the Cov/Leeds games. Hang in there until the last ten minutes and watch us fold like wet cardboard under pressure. 

[cruzFOX]

I firmly believe the toughest opponent for this team is themselves. In all these games they are losing they are lacking a strong mental fortitude. I’m willing to cut the new boys some slack but the more experienced guys have to step up and Enzo has to play them all to save us from falling apart.

We will either lose this or hull. Both are not easy places to go to. Whichever way they want to do it but we will be off top by this time next week. 

If not next week definitely the cup weekend.

[Larry_LCFC]

If we can't sort our shit out fast, we are knackered. Gap is closing like a high speed train and we are barely jogging. Need to cut the pretty sideways possession football and just get that ball in the back of the net. Plan A has well and truly been sussed. This will go down as the biggest implosion ever if we aren't careful.

Bin Daka off immediately he’s shit

I think playing away is going to suit us much more at the minute for sure. Really fancy us to get back on track here. 

[Gazza M]

Shake it up a bit please. Get some of the cup tie winners back in.

3-0 win and back on track 

[weller54]

After witnessing what I saw today I cannot see anything else but a defeat!

2-0 Black cats.
