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

[ladbroke]

Why is Igor not shouting for a penalty?

Cause we dont shout and complain.
We're too nice to refs.

 

[nocoat]

Garbage
I’m sitting down as a dirty protest

 

[BeesManMax]

Thiago looking absolutely lost. Losing patience with him

 

[Argus]

KLP and Schade still on the bench. Wonder if that sends the same message to the players of KA not really bothering to try and bring this back as it does to me

 

[HungryBee]

This is going to be one of those events that happens every season isn't it?

Manager says we're taking the cup seriously, yet the performance we put in tells a very different story. We lose, and Sunderland get a promising fixture in the next round.

And like every season, we'll probably look back on this and say this was a wasted opportunity and wonder what could have been.

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Wtf has happened to Thiago!

 

[BuzzingBee95]

I backed starting Igor, and really hoped that his recent assists may translate into a goal today…

But I don’t understand Wilson coming off ahead of him. Is Keith considering starting him against Forest perhaps?

 

[TorbayBee]

Same old people wetting the beds as usual

same old people ignoring what they are seeing

 

[BaildonBee]

Schuster has looked good

 

[beeeehive]

Anthony has been a bit off it today

 

[aslan]

Cause we dont shout and complain.
We're too nice to refs.

Yet had a silly amount of dissent yellow cards

 

[Argus]

I backed starting Igor, and really hoped that his recent assists may translate into a goal today…

But I don’t understand Wilson coming off ahead of him. Is Keith considering starting him against Forest perhaps?

He should. Been outperforming Igor whenever he's played since he came in, but has yet to be rewarded for it

 

[andyrew]

It's amazing how quickly confidence can evaporate

 

[stevil]

This is f***ing sh*t.

 

[jbee]

We are terrible at creating chances in open play when fast breaks aren't available. And I don't really think we are interested in improving in that area tbh.

 

[Argus]

Let's not start blaming the refs when we've conceded 3 to Sunderland's B team purely due to our players not being good enough, it's exhausting

 

[BURFORD BEE]

This is bloody awful. Pity the poor sods who travelled.

 

[gj]

The positive is we have not got worse this half

 

[BeeInSW19]

Ah well, there's always the FA Cup I suppose

 

[brooks]

Schade and Ajer

 

[BeesManMax]

The positive is we have not got worse this half

In terms of performance we have

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Thrust from the bench

 

[CattedownBee]

Don’t get bringing a cb on who’s injury prone with 20 mins left in a game we’re losing but happy to be proven wrong

 

[walterbee]

Hopefully Kev is in the right frame of mind. He didn’t seem to like Hull much

 

[A Real Mysteron]

Why is Igor not shouting for a penalty?

I couldn’t believe the inept commentators didn’t call it.
I though it was clear.

 

[longtimeagobee]

It's amazing how quickly confidence can evaporate

Mine did after the first two goals

 

[CTBee]

Wtf gas his age got to do with it?

Are you high or do I really needed to explain that younger footballers usually have more potential to improve?

 

[Bigbee]

I havent seen us play well for ages , have they caught Keiths cold ?

 

[aslan]

Sunderland have had the deckchairs out this half and we've done f*** all

 

[brooks]

Ineptitude is catching

 

[North London Bee]

Schade!!!!!!

 

[Banana]

Brentford Fans

 

[MusBeeLove]

No football being played, there’s stoppages every few seconds. Makes it comfortable for Sunderland.

 

[w7 bee]

Don’t get bringing a cb on who’s injury prone with 20 mins left in a game we’re losing but happy to be proven wrong

Pre planned Collins aint played for a good few matches

 

[TadB]

Wtf has happened to Thiago!

Perhaps he over performed last season?

 

[bognor bees]

Just how bad does Thiago have to be before he's substituted?...So poor again.

 

[josht]

This isn't pretty...

 

[CTBee]

I havent seen us play well for ages , have they caught Keiths cold ?

3 games ago we played well and drew at Villa Park. 4 games ago we smashed Chelsea 3-0. "Ages".

 

[aslan]

Pooooooor. Ffs

 

[Andy_Mc_is_God]

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

It’s the lack of urgency and the regressive play that is so frustrating

 

[Untouchable]

Just not going to happen is it.

 

[Beestaps]

The lack of quality or any sort of desire to get back into this second half is almost as unforgivable as the first half display.

 

[BaildonBee]

We could have had 3 or 4 goals ourselves tonight

 

[Argus]

Has Igor been told he was too selfish in his 25 goal season? Whenever he's in the box, he scrambles around for a few seconds before desperately whacking it across hoping to find someone else that wants to shoot

 

[PhilBelfastbee]

I havent seen us play well for ages , have they caught Keiths cold ?

Need a complete reset for Saturday. Great opportunity wasted!

 

[walterbee]

This isn't pretty...

It’s pretty awful!

 

[hanworthbee]

We'll make it 3-2 on 89 and leave no time to level it up

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

I couldn’t believe the inept commentators didn’t call it.
I though it was clear.

Me too

 

[ladbroke]

Yet had a silly amount of dissent yellow cards

Yes but dissent and mass appeal are very different things.
Players gobbing off gets the cards.
We dont appeal for anything.

 

[HungryBee]

Just how bad does Thiago have to be before he's substituted?...So poor again.

I really don't think keeping him on 90 minutes each game in the hopes of a goal is helpful for his confidence if that's the issue at all!

I can only hope 90 minutes today means that he's going to be given a bit of a rest on Saturday.
