Re: Sunderland vs Burnley Match Thread

At least after today we know now that when Rodriguez needs a rest, we can play Tella up front and he'll look very tidy.

Barnes mustn't play for us again.

Dervisoglu was obviously a last minute "just recruit a body" type signing, and VK doesn't seem to want to play him.

Re: Still have to question the starting 11 though

Clearly resting some with a punishing schedule ahead.

I hope today has taught VK though that Barnes must never play for us again. Might as well have had 10 men on in that first half. Woeful player.

I think it's fair to say that we are by far the weakest team in the division when it comes to defining any sort of cross into the box.
