The Rising Sun

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

I really worry that maresca might completely ignore him and play him sparingly.... Maresca is that kinda coach, however, if estevao performs g/a instantly then even maresca won't have a choice. We have too many players, and that is a problem in estevaos opportunities he will get.

Our transfer model is fairly simple, always have an overload of 5 or 6 sellable good players every year. We already have an overload so essentially, sell 4 buy 4-5 and repeat every year making tidy profits. Not too bad and keeps performance as a benchmark to be in the first team. Cut throat in a good way, now that atleast 6-8 of our first 11 are nailed on starters.
