All of the noise coming from him says to me that he will never change that ludicrous system he has played all season, he fully believes it will work at some point. That reason alone means he has to go for them to have any chance of staying up.

Horrific the state of the club. Where do you start?

I've never seen a team turnover possession as easy as this lot.

How can't they see that the system doesn't work? One up front every game and it makes it easy to defend against. There's no shape whatsoever.

0 attempts on target on still getting beat. DOOMED as it stands. Zero luck either which is the nail in the coffin.

Bye Steve and take your brolly with you dickless cunt.

No words.

Stoke aren't the quickest team at the back, playing two up front with two wingers was the clear best option tonight. Not for Stevie Mac, he loves to load the midfield for no apparent reason. You've got Colback in there, what was his job? Pointless player. What the fuck is Shelvey's role? He should be the playmaker but what can he do when he looks up and Mitrovic is the only option in the Stoke half? Wijnaldum's in there, he is largely missing as he has been asked to sit back instead of playing the number 10 role. How Gouffran is anywhere near the Premier League is one of life's great mysteries, he is dogshit and should have been released two years ago. There isn't one logical reason why he was on the pitch tonight, he literally has no attributes to benefit the team. Especially with those options he put on the bench. What is Sissoko doing? He's obviously not a winger, he doesn't score goals. His final ball and decision making is a fucking shambles. Another waste of a shirt. But he starts every game, JOKE. A burning question I have aswell is, why did the club make a song and dance about needing a Striker when he had no intention of playing two up front?

The scary thing is, the bloke actually believes they are playing well. Stoke didn't even need to get out of first gear, it was like a training game for long spells. That Doumbia effort was probably the only decent attempt, and he's talking like the keeper has had a busy night. That's the most worrying thing as he has plain refused to change the system all season and it is clear he won't for the remainder due to his delusion, not one player on that pitch believes in it. There's no shape, no cohesion, no fight. It is devoid of any sort of endeavour, any sort of quality to stay in the league. His team selections are abysmal, and his subs are even worse. You've got the other sides down there scrapping for their lives, fighting for each other. Swansea went to Arsenal and fucking won tonight. This team could never do that under McClaren as his style of play is anti-football.

McClaren wants shot for his negativity this season. His selections are disgraceful.

Because he's soft as shite and lacks commitment.

This system hasn't worked all season and he continues to play it, for fucks sake man. There is absolutely no threat to the opposition. Sissoko needs dropped aswell, he's guaranteed a start even though he's been shite in every game.

That shower of shite team couldn't hammer a nail into the McClaren's fucking coffin.

He's probably the most promising young talents at the club. He finally got fit and they've played him totally out of position, then will let him leave. The club is a fucking joke from top to bottom.

Everyone seems to have different experiences with it, I get HD streams with little buffering on mine.

Why are you paying for PLP when you can get it for free on Kodi?

They knew, morals don't count when premier league points are at stake. http://m.shieldsgazette.com/news/local-news/sunderland-had-known-about-adam-johnson-s-admissions-for-months-1-7746267

I've hated Stoke ever since. Went down with my dad as a young lad, got chased around the town that night. Fucking scary night, especially as a young kid. Someone got stabbed that night IIRC. Their old ground was a right shit hole, remember singing Shaka is dancer that night aswell.

I literally have no prediction of anything anymore.

The fucking tramps down the road think they are famous now.

Colo is shite. Blessing in disguise.

Rivière has to be the most pointless player we have ever signed. He literally has NO ability whatsoever. He is utterly shit at everything he does, he's slow, his touch is abysmal and he can't strike a ball cleanly to save his life. He is stealing a living.

I agree, it is that tight down there that any team that scrapes a win will believe they can get out of it. We just need to keep winning.

Aye, the thread has veered off into a smorgasbord of absolute bullshit. He's definitely going to jail, just a question of how long.
