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

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

So the plan now is to pump balls forward to Thiago who has not won a ball in the air most of the evening…

I feel for the traveling fans. I paused The Sopranos for this and I want my hour and 40 minutes back

And prefers holding up the ball in the box to facing the goal

We could have had 3 or 4 goals ourselves tonight
Generous I think, I personally don’t think we’ve created any where near enough against a second string Sunderland 11.

I’ll be honest, I was hoping we’d find form in this game as I don’t believe we’ve played “all that” well all season bar a couple of halves.

Keith has a hell of a lot of work to do before the Forest game and it looks to me like all players are suddenly sharing the poor form

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?
Unless in an emergency I doubt we will see Wilson play much more than forty five minutes.

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.
There's still time to change it... But second half has been worse imo
 

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

We better make sure we make Forest suffer on Saturday.......
 

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

There is very little point playing a strong team in the cups when the first team fail to turn up every season. We now go into a game against Forest after 2 of the longest away trips of the season, our first team playing across both games, and Forest haven’t played since last Friday.

Weve had plenty of possession rhis half and done the square root of bugger all with it.
 

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

Ward now appears to be favoring them, with silly fouls which wouldn’t be picked up in the Premier league
 

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

Well done Janelt.
 

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

Weve had plenty of possession rhis half and done the square root of bugger all with it. The number of times we have passed to them is unbelievable. Can I have my £15 back please? 🤣
 

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

Is he out on Saturday now
 

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

Getting embarassed by this Sunderland team.

I really thought we'd score a few tonight.

It's been largely shocking. You can't account for individual mistakes, but this 2nd half has shown zero ambition. That's on Keith as much as those on the pitch.

God, that silky performance against Spurs seems light years away. We are getting worse, not better.

Thiago to be benched on Saturday.

The great news is we’re ahead on xG
 

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

Another little tumble and a cheap free kick against us. We just go near them and its a foul. We've had several rough ones we've "ridden" and no advantage gained or free kicks either.
 

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

As poor as we've been; we've hit the woodwork, had a few off the line and their keeper has made a few top saves. Should've won the game with our chances regardless of the pedestrian defending
 

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

All we do going forward is get the ball wide - play it back to the full back and bang the ball in the box
 

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

Forest wouldn't expect Wilson either.
 

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

We need more from our forward players collectively 👍

We will be alright if they start performing more often.
 

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

Having attended Derby many years ago full of hope and happiness about our prospects of progressing in the League…… then I walk through the turnstile seen the team sheet and just thought

f*** YOU BRENTFORD telling us you were taking it seriously!!!

I gave up on cups and the constant inablity to win one
 

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

Watched until we went 1-0 down. Not sure what went wrong as we were dominating . Oh well concentrate on the league, they need to put in a good performance Saturday
 

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

Good grief this has been awful, we may as well not come out second half…hopefully a big reaction on Saturday..
 

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

Even now we are giving away stupid, naive fouls. Meaning we have no chance of building any momentum.
 

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

Just left

Utter disgrace


Club should reimburse match tickets after that dross
