Did we sign the wrong keeper?

Gave up after the stream wouldn't stop buffering but unless we buy at least another couple of central midfielders with legs, a striker who can score and ideally a centre back who can defend we are going to struggle big time. Wing back wise we are ok unless one of them gets injured but I have no confidence in any of the centre backs. Who actually said Todibo was the next big thing?! We are so old and slow in too many areas it's ridiculous that Potter and Sullivan can't see it or just ignore it. JWP, Rodriguez, Soucek, or Alvarez are not the answer.

20-a-day Todibo doesn't finish yet another game. Premier League fitness, he definitely hasn't and even has to rely on nose plasters it's that bad!

Wilson is just another piss poor signing in a long line of poor signings and other teams cast offs. We deserve to be relegated quite frankly as we limp from season to season without addressing the gaping problems in our low ageing squad and Sullivan is pulling all the strings.

Today Sunderland looks like twice the club than West Ham.
Hungry team, fans in full Voice and a great stadium.

Ward-Prowse and Rodriguez are Championship-level players.
No way they can start together in the top division.
Rodriguez was actually good today I thought. clearly we can't play him with JWP though
Rodriguez is terrible. He’s given the ball away, really cheaply, too often. Misplaced passes, slow to cover his ground. He’s made one saving tackle of note.
The game just takes place around him. He’s ineffectual.

If this continues like this, we are very quickly going to reach that state whereby Potter just trots out the same old after-match tosh every week and waits for the tin tack.

So nothing has really changed in the last 5 years.
We look so old and tired.

Under Potter I feared the worst. Unforunately it’s even worse than I feared.

Thank God we have Wilson...
Get real, this team isn't good enough to stay up in the PL. Sacking Potter won't help either.
This is the legacy of 10 years under Sullivan, and 5 years under Moyes!

They must think this Premier League is a piece of piss if they can play a team as soft as this every week. They’re taking the piss out of us now

Did anyone think any different seeing that lineup. What a fucking terrible opening fixture against tin pot opposition. The team has offered nothing. Created nothing, looked exposed and slow.

We'll look much better playing a back 4 here, I reckon. Regardless of which 2 pieces of wank are playing as the CBs.

I personally thought our biggest weakness, rather than being the midfield, was our centre backs. It's always been my biggest worry. I said that on here, so it's not hindsight.
Nothing I've seen in this game has changed my mind. I said Maropanos is our best centre back, which is the most damning indictment there is.
That is pretty damning!
