Final Score Sunderland 3 - 2 (Wilson, Thiago) Brentford - EFL Cup R4

[HungryBee]

Did the Brazil experience dent Thiago’s confidence? Feel like he just needs a couple of goals and he’ll be back.

I certainly think it's damaged his confidence but even nearing the end of last season his form was slipping compared to how he started off.

Maybe it's hindsight but I think it would've done him more good starting on the bench today, and we could have subbed him on around the 70th minute against tired legs.

 

[Jago16]

Can anyone more in the know please please please explain why Thiago doesn’t jump for headers 90% of the time? He just fouls the defender. It must be an instruction, he does it so often

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Come on Brentford, I’m within one goal of starting on Gone Fishing Series 9.

 

[alexinho]

Weird tactics, playing two strikers, throwing everyone forwards including CBs and wondering why we get destroyed on the counter. First goal keeper should really save, second goal the winger got a lucky bounce off the Diouf tackle, 3rd goal a shocker.

Naive. I think that one word just about summarises this performance so far.

 

[Greybeard]

Sunderland have spent quite a bit of cash on this team tonight 2nd string or not.

Yes, as usual a lot of posters on here completely underestimating the opposition.

 

[w7 bee]

HAkon normally very reliable from what i've seen.....including the England match so very surprised.

 

[HungryBee]

Yes, as usual a lot of posters on here completely underestimating the opposition.

Interesting to blame the posters on here when the players on the pitch seem they may have made the same mistake.

 

[BaildonBee]

Diouf decent going forward to be fair

 

[NickThe(Half)Greek]

I’d like to see Schade and Jensen very soon. We might as well go for it.

 

[Jago16]

Can’t keep letting 15 minutes of a second half drift. Make some changes. No shots in 10 minutes now. Get Thiago off he’s been sh*te and is going to get himself banned

 

[CattedownBee]

Igor has been extremely poor today

 

[Legriffin]

He need to be sub !! He's been running like an headless chicken !!

 

[Banana]

has is it a drop ball when it went out for a throw?

Don't think yellows from this carry over.

 

[Bigbee]

Too much £18 Million?

double it and some

 

[Beestaps]

It’s so frustrating that the draw has opened up, we’ve put out a really strong team so clearly had real intent to win then absolutely fall to pieces against Sunderland B team.

Nearly 15 minutes into the second half and it looks like we’re just phoning it in.

 

[Rodri]

Thiago has lost his elan

 

[Untouchable]

has is it a drop ball when it went out for a throw?

Match was stopped before the ball went out I think.

 

[ladbroke]

That was literally going for a throw in for us.
We had the ball and he refused to stop play so we kept possession.
We got tackled and as ball was going out he stops play and gives them the ball?!

 

[Superbeesensi]

How is hickey the answer here?

 

[BURFORD BEE]

He's only 21 and he's only been here 5 minutes. KLP, Collins, Damsgaard etc. all took time to show how good they are. Patience required.

Wtf gas his age got to do with it?

 

[brooks]

No sense of urgency with 30 minutes to get back in it

 

[ladbroke]

And as they're not required to give ball to us, they choose not to. But why would you?
Thats probably what Collins and Wilson were complaining about.

 

[walterbee]

Our build up play is so slow and predictable. We are so easy to defend against when we play like this. We need some chaos in our play. COYB!

 

[upnorthbee]

I’m sorry but Wilson looked like our only threat, taking him off is dissapointing

 

[Untouchable]

Dango ON
Hickey ON
Jensen ON

Wilson OFF
Sangare OFF
Kayode OFF

 

[ladbroke]

We get nothing from refs these days. Throw yourself to ground (as long as you're not a Brentford player) and its a free kick.

 

[Banana]

Ref didn't send the Sunderland player off after treatment???

He did.

 

[walterbee]

Ref didn't send the Sunderland player off after treatment???

That’s the least of our worries!

 

[Boston Bee]

Wonderful, getting beat by the worst team in the league

By the guys not good enough to get into the worst team in the league.

 

[aslan]

He did.

Realised when I saw him waving the player back on!

 

[w7 bee]

expect those subs were planned pre KO ....regardless of scoreline.

 

[Jago16]

Why are we f***ing scared of heading the ball

 

[Hippobee]

I have no idea what's going on.

No shots this half so far. And seemingly no urgency.

Just one goal and we are well in this. Come on Bees.

 

[ladbroke]

Unlucky Janelt

 

[Argus]

Diouf is sh*te. God knows why we bought him.

Athletic fullback with a cross on him. Worked with Kayode and what we've moulded KLP into. We just seem to have decided his shocking defensive abilities are something to disregard due to his age and potential

 

[Adam]

As with Hull, KA waits 15 minutes to make the changes that were needed at HT.

 

[ChinaBee]

Can someone please spend time with Dango heading!!!!

 

[ladbroke]

He gave a foul there?
3 replays and im still trying to find a foul from that corner..

 

[BaildonBee]

Gift for 4-1 not taken

 

[brooks]

Does Valdimarsson play for Sunderland

 

[walterbee]

Goalies having a Reggie blinker!

 

[Baubaul]

Wilson off and Thiago stays on? Hope to eat my word but it looks like Andrews wants to die on the hill of rebuilding Thiago’s confidence in the detriment of I don’t know having an attacking threat?

 

[ladbroke]

Very very lucky Hakon.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Why is Igor not shouting for a penalty?

 

[Argus]

We look to play with more urgency at 0-0 than whenever we're behind. We just run around moping with no plan B after conceding, it's incredibly frustrating to witness

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Dango is our hope here imo

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Come on. This is absolutely atrocious at the moment.

Let's get going .....

 

[ChinaBee]

Wilson off and Thiago staying on is poor management i believe

 

[brooks]

Thiago always a yard behind
