I just can't see how playing so negatively at home is a positive when you're inviting the team to come at you, giving them the initiative and playing into their hands. I do expect he will be playing 10 at the back on Saturday mind.

Bullshit, being positive nullifies their game. Look at the final game of last season, we battered them. Yes they are good on the counter but we've enough pace to deal with that. Yesterday was like a training game for them.

I just can't see them putting together a run of form like they did last season, but then again I couldn't when we had that 8 game baron spell before christmas last year. There's been a distinct lack of quality so far, this squad of players definitely rely on confidence to perform and that seems low so far. Rondon literally had no service yesterday, they just sat back and let Chelsea take the piss. I'm not sure why Benitez allowed that, almost like he's resigned to the fact we are heading for a relegation scrap already. I hate his negativity at times.

Looking fucking ominous and we are 3 games in. Didn't deserve anything today, far too negative.

The comments from other clubs about how empty their stadium has been for years sums it up for me, utter delusion from the scum of the highest degree.

Their delusion that they are some sort of much loved club with a huge fanbase has been ripped to shreds on social media since this was announced They've been absolutely hammered and deservedly so, shit cunts. https://talksport.com/football/efl/414531/sunderland-documentary-championship-season-released-netflix-december/

Do want him to die before you spunk on his chops or after?

They are utter, utter scum. Her crime? Fighting for basic human rights. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-israa-alghomgham-execution-womens-rights-political-activist-qatif-a8501411.html

I'm more worried about the Cold War Margherita Just a hint of Novichok and lime.

Some people have far too much time on their hands. The American lass on Ch4 news earlier certainly does. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/jamie-oliver-jerk-rice-punchy-cultural-appropriate-caribbean-dawn-butler-defends-a8500286.html

Frozen out because he's absolutely fucking shite, mate.

Been listening to The Coral's new album this week, cracking stuff.

Just put Carabao into the title box and it came up from last season Hopefully a better result eh.

Aretha Franklin gone. RIP. What a voice.

Atsu came on

SAME!

I agree with him, Perez should have been hooked at half time.

Is he still denying Climate Change? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/12/wildfires-more-than-100-us-six-new-blazes-erupt

Yep, they barely done anything in the attacking sense 2nd half.

Word. It clearly states "The biggest selling" so is obviously done on records sold.

With the dust settled after yesterday's game the result feels a lot more disappointing, Spurs were very average yet still won the game. It's games like that where you need someone with a bit of brilliance to turn the game, Kenedy tried his best and was one of our best players second half but it just didn't quite happen in the final third. If he puts in performances like that all season he will cause havoc for a lot of teams. Also it's games like that where we are dominating but clearly need an extra option up top so the formation needs to change but Rafa sticks with the same shape and opts to change personnel instead that is frustrating. Sometimes his stubbornness tactically costs us points, it certainly did last season.
