We weren't on it today, the passing was off, attacking threat was very limited. Yates did nothing all game.Sunderland played more long balls than we did and 50% of their passes were in their own half.
It was a tight game but too many times we gave it away needlessly and invited pressure.
We've seen in the past we've come unstuck from that approach, it worked today.
I think Critch will say we should have used the ball better.
Good defensive performance, bad passing and attacking performance. We win, we move and and must improve on that display, but in the great run not every game can be amazing.
