I have just returned from holiday where i missed the Standard Liege match as there was no sky where i was. I was reading with interest what everyone had to say on here though and was gutted with the negative reports.
After watching today i will say i am shocked with what i saw. We were so bad i cant believe we won, Torres pulled a rabbit out of the hat make no mistake about that.
First half we played long ball and Torres and Keane looked bemused as time after time the ball drifted over there heads to the tall but poor Sunderland centre halves.
We seemed to be 20 yards too deep the whole game, inviting pressure as well and the wide players just cut inside almost every time...not always there fault as there was no options.
People said that Dossena was a liability on wed, pushing on and leaving Agger to fill in pulling him over, so what do we do ? Play Hyypia (who did ok btw) in the position Agger played leaving him exposed time and time again, that made no sense to me.
Also the tactics, what was with the gap between the midfield and attack ? it was a joke at times, how Keane and Torres are meant to bring people into play that are 20-30 yards further back is beyond me.
The subs still baffle me, Kuyt should of come off instead of Keane if you want El Zahr on, when its 0-0 you keep the players on that are a threat.
Torres's finish was out of nothing and we did not deserve it, obviously we will take it, and we should be pleased but we wont get away with that many times, especially in the games that Torres is rested.
