Season 23/24 | The Official Match Thread | Sunderland FC v Swansea City | The EFL Championship

The polish lad is cursed I tell thee

 

[jacabertawe]

Things going well without Fulton

 

[K23]

Shows what a difference Fulton makes to the side

 

[Magic_Michu]

Joe Allen has been phenomenal

 

[bakajack]

They are terrified of Ronald, two or three players surrounding him every time he gets the ball now.

 

[Magic_Michu]

The only disappointment here is that it’s not 3 or 4-0… we should be completely out of sight

 

[LeonWasTheDogs]

Someone add an O to Ronald’s shirt today.

O'Ronald. I didn't realise he was Irish

 

[bakajack]

Thats the kind of tackle that I can see a blue card being given for next season.
Pato had rolled his man and it was 3 on 1 if he wasn't brought down.

 

[Magic_Michu]

That should have been a red card… Pato was through

 

[jasper_T]

Disgraceful stuff. Should be 3 or 4.

 

[ABSwan]

They had a yellow, we had two yellows for that foul that should have been a red ??

 

[monmouth]

So a clear red for their player turns into yellows for two of ours?

 

[bakajack]

Half time thoughts:

Thats the best 45 mins we have put together for years.
We looked hungry, we looked dangerous and I don't think Sunderland could have had complaints if we were 4 or 5 up.
They are petrified of Ronald and its giving us space to get other players involved too.
Placheta needs a goal to get the monkey off his back.
Sunderland have had nothing but half chances from the edge of the box.

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

Very good first half for a change, keep it up lads

Swansea City official match centre says just the one, a card for Cabango.
