@@ginger-santa you can't really say that though. He's brought a dozen or so in. Cullen certainly the best player there and he didn't bring him in... the majority of what he's brough in doesn't make the first 11.
I think he is the first opposition manager I've ever heard compliment us! I get sick of hearing managers talk to "protect the players". A refreshingly honest guy. HA'WAY the Swans :)
Hi Luke as a Sunderland fan don’t beat yourselves up. You out played us for the first 20 minutes and could have further ahead. If you continue to play in the style you currently do you should be in the playoff at the end of the season. See you there
You can’t get any more direct than that. In short, we’re not good enough. He’s a good manager with ambition. The premier league will come calling soon and if we want to keep him we’d best be able to put a competitive product on the field!!
That was a very honest response from a nice manager, and although (we) Sunderland probably deserved to win in the end, the game could have gone either way.
SAFC fan here. This was on the back of giving up a 2-0 lead and is way too pessimistic IMHO. Game could have gone either way. Maybe he was sending a message to the owners ahead of the January window??
It's not that we lost, it's how we lost. I'm getting really sick of blowing leads like this. This is 3 points dropped in my opinion. Our fullbacks aren't good enough. We need a fairly big January window, but no matter what we do I don't think we'll be good enough to make a playoff run. Maybe next season. Just get rid of Nathan. I'm so f**king sick of all his annoying fans commenting on everything.
I'm not indonesian i don't have a bias what i see at matchday is nathan working hard in his warmup and abdulai fucking about but abdulai gets all the opportunities to get minutes it just seems stupid
@@boon_fpsNeither are good enough. Both are League Two quality and I'll be happy to see either leave in January. I'm just sick of Nathan's fans commenting on every Instagram post like he's prime Messi. He's a below average defender and I hope he gets sold for his sake. He has zero future here.
Spot on and can see hes hurt by that shower of crap today bar the two early goals. Worst second half performance ive seen in a long time, no contest for Sunderland they breezed it. We need to get consistent
Honest words off Luke. Sunderland worked their socks off and kept going and going. Ronald and peart Harris are luxury players when you're facing a busy midfield. Harris is too lazy and Ronald no threat at all. We were basically carrying them and Sunderland took full advantage
Watching the game and I can't understand the way grimes plays some parts of game he behind how full backs most of his passing side ways and back can't the manager see it
Its same as last manager. He went to Southampton. Its the defence Darlin cant defend. He cant mark the player. He is ok attacking. Not good at picking up. And stop playing in your own 18 yard. Grimes has to go back to pick the ball. He should be up front. The forwards are being starved of ball
Btw I think we need a key substitute player that can dribble and play the ball out because azeem is not doing a job (no offence to azeem he’s still young)
Key should have been hooked at half time. Absolutely awful (again) Ronald really isn't very good. Won't be too bothered if he was moved on in January What has happened to the defence? Our strongest part of the team at the start of the season now looks our worst.
Hadn’t seen a worse performance than that in a while. Used to being under threat, but the lack of midfield or anything going forward a horrendous. Imagine tonight without Cabango and Darling.
We were okay for the first twenty minutes but as ever mistakes crept in and we gave the ball away too easily and too often. The second half was poor and we surrendered three points yet again. Let's face facts too many in this team are not good enough. Unless we recruit genuine talent and ability in January (very unlikely given past experience) we'll remain mid-table mediocrity.
It seems when we are 2-0 up we need to get another one but when we go forward we always get caught, the full backs especially key, go way too high and then doesn’t get back quick enough, and can I just say the officiating in the championship is awful, there first goal shouldn’t have happened because there was a clear offside right before the free kick was given which we conceded from
Entirely consistent. Difference was we only played for 25 mins whereas they kept going for the 90. To be a top team we must keep going at full pace and not try and 'coast it'. Strengthening in January is essential though and sorting the outstanding contracts out.
Awful second half from Swans, and absolutely shambolic defending for the winner. The players just weren't switched on. Teams like that don't make the playoffs. We don't have any steel or mental toughness to put together good runs and win consistently. If I were Cabango or Darling, I'd leave on a free in the summer, as much as it pains me to say it. They will get more money than whatever we're offering, I'm sure, but they'll very probably move to a superior outfit. We're just a middling champ team.
Overplaying when unnecessary, grimes close range passing is dogshite, darling trying to dribble forward when surrounded by opposition same for key, Ronald and MPH need to be dropped they're not good enough play eom and bianchini on the wings instead
@@welshfamilyplanet6177 You know we're in trouble the minute Grimes goes into the back four to pick the ball up. When we play well he's higher up the pitch and the ball moves forward quicker. Today was the darkest recess of Russball.
@@garethd2285 grimes hasn't been outstanding all season it seems like he's starting to drop off, key has been hit and miss all season and pert-harris as been even worse, don't like vigoroux either he's mediocre at best, doesn't command the box, has no vision on the ball and his distribution is abysmal maybe one good ball today the rest were out of play or to the opposition
Darling, grimes and key were dogshit tonight ronald not great either, have to say grimes has been poor for a while and key hasnt been 100% all season... Today was a shit show over pkaying when we dont need to golding on to the ball longer than we need to, vigoroux seemed to refuse to play any sort of ball to eom after he came on instead resorting to boot the ball upfoeld down the right handside just to kick it out of olay or to sunderland players
How refreshing to see a manager who does not talk crap and is honest.. Good luck for the rest of the season..
He's a good manager with fairly crap players. But we got a new owner so we'll see what happens.
Honest interview he seems like a level headed manager. Good luck this season
Thank you and good luck of season

The moment the score was 2 - 1, all I could hear was grandpa Simpson shouting 'you're gonna blow it!' and quite predictably, yet again, they did.

Doubt it 😔
Sorry but would have to disagree
Nice comments Luke ,Good luck for the season
He's right, Sunderland are a fantastic team. Can see them winning the league.
Stay off the beer lad
@ considering they have several key players missing to injury they'll be right up there as they'll only get stronger when they return.
Refreshingly honest. I agree with him entirely.
I cant remember posting this comment
Team lack killer instinct and confidence. Sunderland probably best team we've played.

@@ginger-santa ye id rather abdulai go tho what a clown he is
The defence needs a stick of dynamite behind them and the keeper got to sharpen his game up along with the defenders 😢😮
Spot gota keep plugging away thought we were gona fold at first good 3 points for us , but keep going Wales lad. 👍
We fully deserved to win

Top man,tells it as he sees it.your not for off a top six team
Tbh too many players think it’s a stroll . Grimes gave the ball away a few times not good enough pal
Key took too long on the ball before shipping that pass on to grimes who had 2 players on him.
Grimes shows terrible leadership?
All hopes on January transfers 😢😢😢

Why is it when we face big teams we seem to gain the lead in the first half but then we get come backed?
Btw I think we need a key substitute player that can dribble and play the ball out because azeem is not doing a job (no offence to azeem he’s still young)
Key should have been hooked at half time. Absolutely awful (again)
Ronald really isn't very good. Won't be too bothered if he was moved on in January
What has happened to the defence? Our strongest part of the team at the start of the season now looks our worst.
That's happened against the two best attacking teams , mistakes and giving the ball away don't help
Totally agree about key he can take people on but gives the ball away way too much in recent games
Is this a captaincy issue.?
Hadn’t seen a worse performance than that in a while. Used to being under threat, but the lack of midfield or anything going forward a horrendous. Imagine tonight without Cabango and Darling.
Without them it would've been 2-1

Funny how he says we are miles off the playoffs despite saying a few games ago that we can go toe to toe against top sides? 😂
Everyone has dreams lol

100%.
Sorry Luke but that one was on you. Their manager changed their tactics at half time but you wouldn't/couldn't do anything about it.
It's everyone's fault today. He didn't change anything and the players simply aren't good enough.
Overplaying when unnecessary, grimes close range passing is dogshite, darling trying to dribble forward when surrounded by opposition same for key, Ronald and MPH need to be dropped they're not good enough play eom and bianchini on the wings instead

@@ginger-santa no strength in depth unfortunately
tthey crap
Doesn't look happy
Probably really angry with losing against an amazing team like Sunderland one of the best team in the League
Gifted Sunderland 2 goals based on the performance of them tonight no clue how they're that far up the table
@@lightspeed4448I wouldn’t say that we gave you that game with our defence…..we go again uppajacks

Easy, get rid of Grimes
