The Rising Sun

Maresca ball has a low ceiling.... Would've been lauded at Spurs but can't do for us what a conte would have with conte ball, i.e. winning the league. I just want a coach who demands higher standards from himself and his players.

Most likely a 0-0 after all the build up...

Tarique George wouldn't be a starter for leicester. I don't know how he's pulling this off.

Maresca just doesn't take games seriously. There's no better way to put it. Yes he's analytical etc etc like any other coach but the way he approaches games makes it look like he's just chilling, managing, coaching the kids. No seriousness and valuing points.... Conte was a beast in that sense.

I've always found this pep style of football extremely boring. May it die quick and the old school premier league expansive quick physical game return. This is just tiring to watch and be a part of.

It's sunderland. Smash em. Players playing themselves into some form so that's a plus all round.

Our players seem to lack courage to play football. The easy back pass or sideways pass has become a disease for this team....

We need a coach who doesn't play this possession football bullshit. It is by far the worst kind of football to watch.

Maresca is a one trick pony unfortunately. Even if players can do what he wants it is just not dynamic enough. His style takes away urgency from players in the way they approach the game . When we see crazy urgency in the last 15 mins of games while trying to win it or rescue a point it is because the players throw maresca ball out of the window and play football. I really really wanted to like this manager. Sad that he has not given me an opportunity to hold on to anything, any silver linings. The fact that almost all players massively regress under him speaks volumes.

Maresca.lost this game with his line up. What on earth was he thinking....he's got all the tools as a manager with regards to philosophy. But my god is he bad with his selections.... Not quite sure what he tries to achieve sometimes....

We need to get shots on target.... I found it quite odd that when we couldn't pass our way into the crystal palace box, we didn't try different approaches such as lots of crosses in.....create chaos.... Or lots of shots from outside the box. We were neutralized so bad, Maresca got caught napping and could not react at all. New season. Get mentally switched on now.

Silliness? It's an opinion formed on sanchez over a long period of time and even more so this game. Gittens i watched during his pre season games and his highlight reels don't really make him shine either. Do not understand his signing. If you have an opinion do share it.

Players not making runs in behind TRYING give and go's, no real closing down. Totally unprepared and not coached for this game. Terrible start to the season and the worst possible performances they could have done. Sanchez was so so bad. What are we doing with him. Really wow. Gittens as well is worse than Madueke. Downgrade

Gittens should not be a starter. He's a 10% better version of sancho. Bad purchase. Aston villa level.

One of the worst performances I've watched us play... Absolutely nothing to show for effort,.chances or even closing down
