*~*~* Sunderland v Hull match thread *~*~*

I can see some of the theoretical logic behind passing it out from the back but if you're going to play methodically like that you need a really solid midfield who can hold the ball up and play with back to goal otherwise there's no transition play. And our midfield can't do that
 

28th minute.

Hull have possession at the back, no pressing from us.

Fans start getting angsty and want a tackle or challenge.

Beale is on record saying he doesn’t love the high press.

It sticks out like a sore thumb as a mismarriage between club and manager.

Beale doesn’t like the high press. Our fans love it (and have done for decades, we love overt signs of effort)
