Sunderland 1-0 Fulham 30/08

Is everyone watching the same game as me. How is everyone saying that's Leno's fault, he had no choice but to come, it was clearly Andersen's fault - twice actually, same thing happened a few minutes ago when they hit the post.

The issue is he should have been able to collect it or clear it, but he's slow in reflexes and decision making.

Absolutely not, he had a 50/50 to get it

Because he's so damn slow. Majority of GK's in PL deal with that.

Perhaps we are relegation fodder this season...

Perhaps? Defo on this performance.

it as if we dont want to score.  ball in the 18, but meh, will leave it for someone else to have an idea

Absolutely not, he had a 50/50 to get it, same odds with any keeper. Andersen lost his man twice, first time they hit the post and second time they scored. Leno isn't the problem and is clearly being made the scapegoat goat. If you put another keeper in this team you have the exact same problem 

Wait... you're claiming that every keeper irrespective of speed of decision making and pace has a 50/50 chance there?

Leeds level

Kevin needs more game time this season. I'm convinced he is one of if not our best players and we need him to find form. He won't if he only gets 5 or 10 mins here and there.

[General]

We haven't apparently had a shot on target and only a handful of shots all game. Need to take a lot more to score

[Nero]

The real issue is the final 3rd where we aim passes and crosses to where no Fulham players are and lose it

[First State]

Come on, let's put something together.

About 5 touches in the box there and nobody wants to take a shot 🙄

[Willham]

Agreed it was andersen's lack of pace and poor positioning to play him on side

Also think Leno should be doing better.... Again.

That's 3 already Leno should have done better with.

Im also starting to think a change is a must.

[SerbianLad]

King should have taken it first time there

[Sgt Fulham]

This is better but would be surprised if we equalise

Leno has been poor since last season.

For gods sake get it forward! All this fannying around at the back.

[Milo]

I was optimistic about today.

However I have been left wondering what Arbeloa's style of play is? I thought he was all about the attacking press? Haven't seen any pressing today. It reminds me of Jokanovic football and we all know how that sadly turned out at this level - as admirable as it was.

Could be a long old season.

No shots on target in any game unforgivable 😡

One decent cross please!

Watching the buildup to the goal it was like he was in slow motion. When the cross was hit my first reaction was to relax a bit because I was like, that will be dealt with, but then waiting for Bernd to move....
