Would've taken a point pre game, but that performance was pathetic. It was like watching paint dry.
I can accept us setting up defensively, but I expect us to at least try to counter attack and score...
We looked scared out of our wits to pass the ball forward. And even when simple forward passes were on, we chose to pass around the back in dangerous areas.
You would think we were playing Real Madrid with that mentality, not a bang average Sunderland side.
If we're happy watching stuff like that, at least we know that Tony Pulis is available if Leicester take Corberan. I'm sure he could replicate that performance.
On paper, a point on the road would be a decent result if we could start winning at home. But I just can't get on board with football like that. It's not what the game is about, especially when we should be good enough to compete with anyone in this league.
