Why did VAR not call offside in refs ear - indirect free kick keep the game moving without all the nonsense.
It was a subjective offside so he needed to go to the monitor.

Sunlan really fortunate to be only a goal behind but I just can’t see them getting back into it.

When we reached the FA Cup Final way back in 1962 we'd also hit a poor run of league form up to the final. Sunderland's performance reminds me very much of ours in that game. On the periphery much of the time with the other team in charge of the game. Maybe Monsieur Le Fee will make us all eat humble pie in the second half.

I’ve watched that 62 final back and I can’t agree with that view. Still don’t know how they got away with the foul on Blacklaw which led to the penalty and there was Jimmy Robbo’s goal that was wrongly ruled out for offside.

As for Monsieur Le Fee, I think he’d be making their fans eat humble pie as well. It’s fair to say they haven’t been over impressed with him.

Shocked Sunderland haven’t made changes at half time. They’ve been awful, where’s the best player the Championship has ever seen?

Got to say nearly every single Sunderland player is just way off it today.

Surprised Isidor isn’t playing

Agree but they’ll have to plan the next sub carefully

They only have one opportunity left and can make upto 3 more changes

I'm confused by the whole thing today. Weren't Sunderland promoted in January when they signed Le Fée?

Big shift in the balance of power with Hamer limping off and Isidor on.

Not over yet.

I was going too say Sunderland are too young, too small. Physically SU have them in their pocket. Sland need space to utilise their pace, and until that moment Sheffield hadn't given them any.
It's all about mentality now.
