The 2025 Away leg Derby to the land of the Unwashed

[Zippity]

Well, I really don't know what to think about that. Don't think I've ever heard such a harsh summary on Radio Newcastle.
Really damning.

What did they say?

[Nufcian]

That was utter sh!te.

Where was the passion, where was the bite, where was the intensity, where was anything!?!

Sunderland were lucky to not have a man off in the first half for what should have been a second yellow card, but they played like it was a derby and we approach it like we were playing Fulham.

Howe isn?t escaping criticism for this.

What did they say?

Basically saying that it was one of the worst team performances they'd seen recently. That ir was a terrible game for a derby match without any apparent desire or passion - from either side to be fair. Ando was really quite quiet at the end - sounded to me quite taken aback as well as disappointed.

I'm really getting to the point that I don't really care if I watch them or not every week, same old sh!te just a different day. Feel sorry for the fans paying hard earned money to watch that shower. The owners wont be pleased that's for sure.

[OwdBillCook]

I still don't get it. After Bruno's interview before the match, I thought we'd be having a real go at them. Determined to win.

Seems like nothing could be further from the truth...........
Shocking.

I?m disgusted by the complete lack of everything we showed.

It?s a theme this season, and it?s 16 games in? we?re nearly half way in? questions have got to be asked if Howe can sort this out, he?s had nearly half a season and the team has gone backwards, and this is the sh!tty cherry on a big steaming turd cake.

[MidsMagpie]

All that money spent and we are just going backwards something is wrong and has to change fast.

It's stale. We can't cross the ball. Pass the ball back, sideways. No risk taking. It's predictable. We are easy to defend against. For the first season Howe isn't improving players. We don't do well having Champions League and the league. Do we not train tactically? Howe keeps saying due to short turnaround we have less time to train on tactics and more time spent prioritising recovery. Not good enough.

[toonviking]

Worst performance for years. They all looked like ****.

Maybe Thiaw was a 5.0. The rest was 3-4, with Elanga and Woltemade beeing the worst of the worst.

Totally wrong setup and game plan from Howe.

[Curian]

We will be lucky to get into any European cup this season and that might not bode well for some of the players.
