Mons style is shite
Is it safe to assume that we are now allowed to debate how we play without being branded mags or bedwetters?
I am a supporter of MON, but I can never understand the club is right about everything brigade. MON was / is the best we could hire with a record, Hughes probably next, but that doesn't make him perfect he has / will make mistakes. The team is full of squad players, this summer is a big time for him and Short. After that if we are still in the same vien then I thing MON is fair game.
Too many on here are just too interest in results and we go from great to shite or have an agenda. All the transfers wont work out, its the same with manager moves although a lower percentage. We didn't do anywhere near enough in the summer or this window, up the road did a much better job this month, whether they all work out remains to be seen I doubt it as most only 2 out of 3 work.
Another case of limping to the finishing line this season with hope rather than absolute certainty and see what happens in the summer.
I know about a dozen lads who won't be renewing next season because they are sick of watching the same defensive approach to games and not going out to win games! Can you blame them?
Quality avatar marra.
TidiedIncontinence is my biggest problem. I don't think we have any players around the first team who you could say are not good enough to play in the Premier League, but how many of them have a blinder one week and then a complete mare the next? If you look at clubs around us they seem to have players who aren't world beaters but churn out a reasonable to good performance every week. Players like Hibbert at Everton, Whelan at Stoke, Aaron Hughes at Fulham etc.
Vaughan, Gardner, Larsson, Bramble, McClean, Johnson, Sessegnon, O Shea to a lesser extent. You just cannot rely on them. You might as well gauge it by the direction the winds blowing when you're walking over the town bridge to the game whether they'll turn up or not and it's not good enough.

I'm in the same boat - Swansea was nearly the last straw.
Far too defensive.
Hoof football (Mignolet) from the back which nearly always cedes possession.
No movement.
Rigid two banks of four - no support for the front 2.
Everybody back to defend corners - no chance of a quiclk counter-attack.
Sess and Fletch playing too far apart.
Nice words but short on facts and context.
-Bruce inherited a team that was expensively assembled and scraped on the last game due to results from other games. It was a massive pile of shite that clearly exposed keanes huge limitations and lack of fiscal responsibility. Bruce had no choice but rebuild.
- Bruce bought 5 players in his first full window, 6 short of what he needed given the shambles he was left
- He bought 2 more in the first xmas window, meanwhile he peddled 13 of the ccc dross to help finance the rebuild
- He bought 6 more in his next 2 windows and peddled a further 12, 9 of keanes and 3 of his including bent and cana who both wanted out. Cana because he couldnt cope and bent who was just greedy. He also got rid of da Silva who cost nowt anyway
-Bruces final window was the one where he fucked up. Too much shite
Overall though hardly a full team every season.
Bruces first summer window and MoN's are remarkably similar but you knew that but it didnt suit your argument.
Both managers have their failings in the transfer market. Bruce did balance the books and got a lot of dross of the wages. MoN has brought in some quality.
But the incessant need to blame Bruce for our current failings is wearing thin.
I'm glad he's gone, but in all honesty out on the pitch we look shite right now and that isnt SB's fault
fair enough post. O'Neill isn't perfect but he has the best record of any manager we have appointed in a long time and we have to allow him some time to sort it out. It's easy to forget he has been here little more than a year
so basically the same problems as every other team in the bottom half. Fans seem to think that these problems are exclusive to Sunderland. Why do people think that? We represent our position in the league table.
Its the Barca fans again isn't it. Comparing us with Barca etc. ridiculous.
My only problem is the lack of movement in midfield and the inability to pass to a man.
I know ndiaye missed his chance but that's the first time I've seen good passing play and movement from us around the box creating the space for the shot.
I don't mind the way we play from the back as in my opinion we don't have the players to play from the back and it's like people other than sessegnon don't want to get on the ball.
We seem to have too many plodders in the team, they are just happy to be there they don't or can't play at a consistent quality. The only time the players perform is when they have to perform and they need to get a result.
I hope we clear out in the summer and get in new fullbacks and some more creative players going forward.
Sick of people going on about passing from the back and that though, it's an obsession to play like barca and it wears thin. Also if you want 2 men on the post from corners you have to bring everyone back and we don't concede from them so I don't see the problem
Has anyone said these problems are exclusively ours? I've never seen anyone say that on here. We want better for our club - I couldn't really care less how other clubs play unless it directly affects us.
This seems to be the fallback position of those who want to dismiss concern: the fans are unhappy because we don't play like Barcelona. It's not about that - it's about not playing to our strengths with a functional, attacking plan. It's about looking as if our set up is to negate the opposition rather than assert ourselves on them. It's negative instead of positive and increasing numbers are finding it increasingly boring and counter-productive.
You seem to be reading what you want to read, regardless of what is written.
It's really not. This season, Sunderland have consistently produced some of the most boring football in the country, and certainly this is one of the most boring Sunderland teams for years which, given the quality of the players available, it really shouldn't be. It's not about wanting to play like Barcelona, but when Swansea come and play you off the park at home, it's not unreasonable to ask what the plan is.
Or this.
