Januzaj throws a wobbler every time he falls over.

Harry Palmr · 02-01-2017 4:29pm

Can is so far off the pace it's a bit scary - I'd prefer Lucas or Stewart

Horrible Bournemouth feeling..

any team in the league will turn into world beaters if you give them the momentum , which we just did

For every decent game Can plays there seems to be too many shockers to accompany it.

NukaCola · 02-01-2017 4:30pm

Need to get hold of the ball for a while......no need to be forcing it....

02-01-2017 4:30pm

Missing Henderson badly

Osmosis Jones · 02-01-2017 4:31pm

This is terrible, Milner you're the captain don't be so childish.

Utopia Parkway · 02-01-2017 4:31pm

Liverpool looking leggy now unsurprisingly. Can playing like he's wearing concrete boots.

Harry Palmr · 02-01-2017 4:31pm

Milner is slow as well, maybe Moreno would be a wiser pick (can't believe I said that)

Knex* · 02-01-2017 4:31pm

This has one of those bad away day game feels about it. We're lacking a lot of composure here.

5starpool · 02-01-2017 4:32pm

Can having one those games so far.

TitianGerm · 02-01-2017 4:32pm

This is the worse I've ever seen Can play. He's been horrific.

Agent Coulson · 02-01-2017 4:33pm

Sunderland players totally bulling the Liverpool players

Harry Palmr · 02-01-2017 4:33pm

Can is ****ing jogging - get him off.

Knex* · 02-01-2017 4:33pm

Christ, Can looks like he won a competition to be out on the pitch today.

NukaCola · 02-01-2017 4:33pm

We kinda fall down in this situation......need a few players to get hold of possession but we just try and bomb it forward.

mada999 · 02-01-2017 4:33pm

Can needs to be hooked

losing the ball too much

Osmosis Jones · 02-01-2017 4:33pm

Can loses it in the middle yet again.

02-01-2017 4:33pm

At least 1 more goal in this for Sunderland

Jayop · 02-01-2017 4:34pm

If Sunderland played like this every week they'd be mid table.

Quandary · 02-01-2017 4:34pm

I can see Liverpool coming back to win this game. Sunderland are very poor and Liverpool have too much quality, are high on confidence and of course the Klopp effect.

NukaCola · 02-01-2017 4:35pm

Better

Playing like he's having a 2 day hangover from New Years Eve.

mightyreds · 02-01-2017 4:35pm

sunderland running out of steam again, settling down again

Osmosis Jones · 02-01-2017 4:36pm

Klavan always heads it back into the middle rather than out wide, ends up giving it away a lot with his clearances.

Knex* · 02-01-2017 4:38pm

Lovren has actually been good despite the madness around him

NukaCola · 02-01-2017 4:38pm

Need to keep calm......we'll have more chances, need to make them count

NukaCola · 02-01-2017 4:39pm

Dive again......

TitianGerm · 02-01-2017 4:40pm

Jacuzzi on the floor again. I've seen toddlers stay on their feet longer.

mada999 · 02-01-2017 4:40pm

we're not moving it quick enough around their box.. they are getting time drop deep

Gbear · 02-01-2017 4:40pm

Can't be bailing players out any time they're having **** games. Others have started games poorly and felt their way in so he'll have to just get his **** together.

Don't fancy him as the deep midfielder though. Doesn't have his head screwed on.
It'd give you an appreciation for the steady Eddyness of the likes of Hendo.

Europa League final last year......if Moreno hadn't done what he did more focus would have been on Can.

NukaCola · 02-01-2017 4:42pm

Lucas for Can.......he cant play as the deep CM.....all over the shop.

Tusky · 02-01-2017 4:44pm

Sturridge looks really sharp.

BorneTobyWilde · 02-01-2017 4:44pm

Sturridge knocking, no ones
home.

You can actually see his confusion as to where he should be. Doesn't look at all comfortable.

Harry Palmr · 02-01-2017 4:44pm

Can's positioning and body shape to the play in front of him is often quite wrong.

Sturridge and Defoe could both have hat-tricks already with a bit more accuracy.

Jayop · 02-01-2017 4:45pm

Good lad John.

5starpool · 02-01-2017 4:47pm

The last 10 minutes have been better with more control. Hopefully we can right things for the second half.

murpho999 · 02-01-2017 4:47pm

Do people really expected Can to be subbed in the first half?
How they can decide this with his limited on screen time is beyond me.

I also don't see these "leggy" performances that experts here talk about when a team don't go 3 nil up after 20 minutes.

Not helped by Sturridge taking an age to make up his mind to shoot, even though everyone knows that will happen anyway.

Pyjamarama · 02-01-2017 4:48pm

Sunderland can't keep up that pace. Feels like we're conserving some energy. Pretty much standard these days. Confident still.

Jayop · 02-01-2017 4:49pm

Enjoyable half from a 'neutral' pov.

Huh?

He's playing shee-ite.

What's it matter why?

Around the 55 min mark I'd say. If he cant sort himself out after the break he needs to be hooked.

Its not hard to see he's all over the place is it?

garra · 02-01-2017 4:53pm

Can is no Henderson. I'm not expecting him to be an exact replacement for Hendo, but I expect more awareness from him. He doesn't live in the moment, switches off as soon as he passes it. When in possession he likes to start a little run which ends up with him losing the ball. Even for the Sunderland goal he took himself out of the game from the throw-in and offered no defensive cover in that situation. Firmino has done feck all too, seems to lose the ball consistently now. Lucas on for Can and Origi for Firmino.

Osmosis Jones · 02-01-2017 4:54pm

Sturridge has been our best player, when he's dropping deep he's trying to move it forward quickly, and he's the only one testing Mannone.

NukaCola · 02-01-2017 4:56pm

Sturridge takes the shot on too often, but has been playing well. Can normally grows into a game so hopefully he sorts himself out. We are doing ok, just need to use the ball better.

Maybe but nearly every shot has been on target & he hit the post too.
