It's obvious it doesn't make much of a difference, he was fairly curt about their performance on Wednesday yet nothing particularly changed. Probably doesn't help that we keep having to make substituions in the first half though, he's not that great at them in the first place so having to make changes that early on is only going to go one way.Originally Posted by Gubby Allen
Just got back from the game, what a waste of time. Our wide men couldn't put a ball in the box all game, or beat the man. We seemed to keep going back to the defence so often which was so annoying! And to top it off, it was ridiculously cold, not a happy gooner!
good on ya for turning up.
as expected
I think its time to kick kroenke out

I was midway through typing - where the hell were your from to be back already ... thankfully it clicked in time to prevent me making a twat of myself.
If that was committed and we gave everything we got, we truly are alwfulon the team’s display…
We put in a committed performance and gave absolutely everything that was left in our legs. It was a very difficult game. We had a very unfortunate schedule because we played away in the Champions League then straight away [we played] away again on some very difficult pitches.
We fought hard today. I felt we were a bit unlucky because there was a 100 per cent penalty for us that Mr Webb missed and then the first shot [for Sunderland] was a goal.
Then we had to chase the game and take every gamble and we were caught on the counter for the second goal. We had a lot of possession but didn’t create a lot, which was down to fantastic defending from Sunderland.
on dealing with criticism…
We have to take the critics on board, stay together and face them. There is only one response in our job; stay united, fight and focus on the next game.
on ending the season without silverware…
It is too early to say where it leaves us and what we will do. Let’s focus on the next game in the championship and fight, even if there is a small possibility [of progressing], in the Champions League. We have a big game next Saturday, we lost three players today and we are starting to get very short.
on the next steps…
At the moment it is best to let people talk, criticise, analyse and destroy and on our side it is important to show internal strength and resilience and come out with a strong performance in our next game.
on injuries…
Squillaci was injured. Coquelin is injured. Ramsey is injured.
Sad thing is how predictable this all was: the season over within the space of a week in February once again. Awful, spineless performance.
It's all going to turn very nasty if the Spuds knock a few past us next week.
We heard you guys loud and clear on TV.
The team were an embarrassment, but you did us proud.
My first reaction as well!
A loss to spuds is whats needed to spur on change at the club... may be they could teach us a lesson in football. This could be bigger importance than the 8-2 hammering this season. This could be biblical tbh..
