Final Score Sunderland 3 - 2 (Wilson, Thiago) Brentford - EFL Cup R4

[lanzabee]

We seem unable to cope with their pace and intensity in the final third. And Hakon's gloves are made of teflon

 

[Gee Bee]

How much did we pay for Diouf???

Put a couple of quality balls in though. Defending rotten

 

[mhead bee]

3-0.

No-one should get paid this week and have the bloody lot of them in for extra training.

Utter sh*te.

Yeah, cos extra training really helps correct a defensive mistake from a 20 year old.

It’s not 1976 anymore

 

[jlove]

Some appalling play from both of our full backs – what on earth are they up to? It's so open, so we just need to focus and get back to the early game dominance.

 

[maddogging]

Keith needs to scrap this two striker thing also, its doing my nut in he keeps trying it

 

[Banana]

Why do we always struggle to head the ball to a teammate? It always seems like the players panic to just clear the ball.

Yep. We are particularly poor at heading to our own teammates for some reasons. Last player that could regularly find his own player was that chap from New Zealand.

 

[BURFORD BEE]

This is shocking. Sunderland 2nd XI and we are defending like National League standard.

This 11 players should easily be managing the game.

I said before KO there should be no excuses if we don't win this. You better believe it - this is gutless so far. Many questioned Diouf and on this showing,you can see why.

No doubt I'll be called entitled. Well we've been gifted a route to the next round and can't take it.

Furious.

Diouf is sh*te. God knows why we bought him.

 

[lanzabee]

The club should refund the fans for that first half.

Including those sat at home

 

[Bridge Bee]

I can’t get over the fact that we’ve got Italys right back, Senegals left back and Irelands centre back captain…and we look that bad. Throw the keeper in too.

Imagine if Sunderland were actually bothered about this game!

 

[EarleyBee]

Hakon, awful. Giving people a go in goal doesn’t work, hate it. If you’re reserve goalie just take the money and accept it. Diouf awful defensively and his crossing has been horrendous too. Sunderland second team cutting through us every time they go forward. Keith needs to do some management here because I don’t think we are set up at all well, and for whatever reason we aren’t trying as hard as Sunderland which you cannot accept

Thank god they have those self-fixing goalies now, so your number 2 keeper never has to play.

 

[Baubaul]

Wyf is wrong with our keeper

He look injured before the first Sunderland shot . He was hopping on one leg. If he is and didn’t ask to be subbed it’s on him

 

[Beeian]

With Diouf defending like he has, it’s no wonder West Ham were relegated

 

[BeeInSW19]

Damsgaard does not look fit. We need more control in midfield and increase the tempo. Sunderland are running rings round us.

Dammers clearly isn't fully fit. He needs to be substituted. I'm not criticising his performance, he came back too soon in my view.

 

[Superbeesensi]

Seems like we’ve turned up expecting to win , casual, poor quality , taking too long on the ball, poor decisions….still might turn it round in the second half somehow!

 

[HerefordB]

How much did we pay for Diouf???

Far too much, sadly

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Wilson looking far more dangerous than Thiago. Hopefully both bang on it this half.

 

[TorbayBee]

Thiago - really? Charging around like headless chicken , not winning headers. Kev on Thiago off , I could not give a damn about his confidence. As for Hakkon aaaggghj!

 

[BournemouthBee]

The defensive woes have been done to death on here but let's also look at us going forward. The only player on the left is our LB and once he loses it or the cross is blocked it's back up our left side and he's chasing the ball.

Wilson and Thiago doesn't work. I don't understand why KA thought it would. I'd hook Thiago and put Schade on wide left.

 

[hardybee]

Between YY, Kelleher, Hickey, Diof and Hakon we are giving these games away

 

[Mikey Bee]

Disappointing but get an early goal and it's game on.

 

[Eieieio]

I don’t want any changes at half time unless Dams isn’t fit. This team should be showing us so much more cutting edge in the 2nd.

 

[Edmundo]

The club should refund the fans for that first half.

I see what you did there!

 

[tinman]

Bees seem to regularly adopt the approach that they have to be complete rubbish for at least half an hour then start playing.

Just like most games this season we seem to take 10 minutes to suss the opposition out before upping our game. Tonight we haven’t even done that.

 

[Beestaps]

In full control before Diouf did his nonsense but our response to that has been horrific, especially when we have a first team 11 and they’ve got reserves.

Diouf obviously has a cross on him but jesus, he needs to improve.

Still think there’s a chance mind

 

[LostBee]

Diouf is sh*te. God knows why we bought him.

Thats the spirit.

 

[Untouchable]

Congratulations to everyone writing off Diouf after <300 minutes of football for BFC.

Some people never learn.

 

[TOXIC BEE]

How much did we pay for Diouf???

In a little bit of credit to him, whilst he’s been dreadful defensively, he has been our best creative outlet going forward. Should have had at least one, perhaps two assists already.

 

[Hippobee]

He look injured before the first Sunderland shot . He was hopping on one leg. If he is and didn’t ask to be subbed it’s on him

Really think he has to be subbed. And Diouf.

It won't do much for their confidence, but we concede again if they stay on the pitch.

We are still playing against the bottom of the league side's 2nd team. So we still have an outside chance of getting something out of this game if Keith is prepared to be ruthless.

And whatever is up with Thiago? Not at the races at all.

 

[mhead bee]

Same old people wetting the beds as usual

 

[WARFIELD BEE]

How much did we pay for Diouf???

Too much £18 Million?

 

[ladbroke]

Just seen foul count. 8 from us, 3 them.
Are we really that dirty of a team these days?
Think on Sunday commentators said we were highest or close to in league.

 

[Sultan]

Come on online fans, get behind your keyboards and send positive vibes. No more slagging off. Support the team. We can do this second half.

Imagine if the call was to slag off the fans and replace them for their poor effort in supporting the team.

 

[HungryBee]

Including those sat at home

Personally I'll be using the funds to pay for the treatment I'll have to have due to my retinas being burnt from watching Valdimarsson and Diouf try to defend.

 

[Ken Richardson]

Wonderful, getting beat by the worst team in the league

 

[Edmundo]

Diouf has made some defensive errors, but a decent keeper would probably not have conceded any of those goals.

 

[Hampshire Bee 2018]

Come on Bees. We have more than enough on the pitch and the bench to get back into this.

 

[Guildford Bee]

Too much £18 Million?

More than twice that

 

[HerefordB]

Easy to be critical, but Igor just doesn't look like a PL striker this season.

 

[Eieieio]

Did the Brazil experience dent Thiago’s confidence? Feel like he just needs a couple of goals and he’ll be back.

 

[Baubaul]

Same old people wetting the beds as usual

We do have an age you know that young man? When you’ll get to our age oh boy your prostrate will be your worse enemy

 

[olliebfc]

Congratulations to everyone writing off Diouf after <300 minutes of football for BFC.

Some people never learn.

Wouldn’t say he’s being written off. Today isn’t going well though. He made an error for the first and defended poorly for the second. Looks shaky as last man from set pieces also, not decisive enough.

 

[cheshirebee]

Deary me, what a knee jerky negative lot on here tonight.
I haven’t looked at this thread whilst watching the game and was happily saying to Mrs CB we’ve made a couple of rickets but look the far better team and confident we’ll get back in this.
I think I’ll log off back now and watch the second half wrapped in my own naive positivity.
Enjoy

 

[tinman]

Are there really going to be two giant killings two nights running?

 

[Gee Bee]

Sunderland have spent quite a bit of cash on this team tonight 2nd string or not.

 

[CTBee]

Diouf is sh*te. God knows why we bought him.

He's only 21 and he's only been here 5 minutes. KLP, Collins, Damsgaard etc. all took time to show how good they are. Patience required.

 

[BuzzingBee95]

Come on online fans, get behind your keyboards and send positive vibes. No more slagging off. Support the team l, we can do this second half.

I know you’re trying to get behind the team, as is right….

But messages like this are so exhausting. Fans are allowed to highlight poor play, okay going to conclusions like we paid too much for Diouf already is ridiculous…

But the idea that getting angry isn’t support is even more ridiculous, it’s precisely because of the support that people are so frustrated thus far in this game

 

[Baubaul]

I did mention to put the chaps on. Might do a better job in goalie, left back and half the attack

 

[gj]

Cant believe we have made no changes at half time

 

[beeeehive]

Weird tactics, playing two strikers, throwing everyone forwards including CBs and wondering why we get destroyed on the counter. First goal keeper should really save, second goal the winger got a lucky bounce off the Diouf tackle, 3rd goal a shocker.

 

[longtimeagobee]

Easy to be critical

Does seem to be for you
