Sunderland - caution or attack, attack, attack?

Interested in views on this. Do we start cautious, close down and hit on break or just go for it?

I worry that we look distinctly ordinary when we lose the press and don't stop opposition from playing, like yesterday.

Really hope we revert to an expected line-up.

 

Triple A all the way for me

 

We need to get pressing from the start, cos we are seeing teams doing it to us from the off and being successful.

 

Being cautious didn't help yesterday by having one eye on Tuesday. We need to attack from the off.

 

Moore and woodrow up tops is a must!!! Let them worry about us Woodrow looks an excellent finisher a bit like mcburnie last season and Moore will be 10 times the player with someone at the side of him. It’s press, press, press from me.

 

Press them from the start.

 

Get straight into 'em from the off.....nowt to fear.....sithi.

 

Press, possession and composure in the final third and don't neglect defensive duties.

 

Well, clearly the players didn't take any notice of the majority of opinions on this thread! As Stendal confirmed in his interview, no press, no good. Unfortunately, without it first half we were ordinary to the tune of 0-3. Second half different story.
How many times does this lesson need to be learned? Consistency required for top 2.

 

Whilst that is true, there are a number of reasons for the result.

Bad refereeing, poor game management & inexperience are up there.
