FANS REACT TO NDONG NOT STARTING
FANS UNHAPPY WITH SHOCK TACTICAL DECISION AGAINST BURNLEY
The decision by David Moyes to leave club record signing Didier Ndong on the bench for the start of their crunch Premier League game against Burnley on Saturday was met with head-scratching and puzzled faces from fans, as the Sunderland boss opted to play Jack Rodwell instead. “I decided I wanted Jack and Gibbo (Darren Gibson) together,” Moyes revealed. “I thought the game might suit more Britishness in the middle of the pitch.” Here’s what Echo readers thought of the decision and the manager’s explanation.
1 DM is quoted as saying “lets hope” for something special. Sorry, but a manager worth his salt wouldn’t have allowed us to get into this position in the first place. Lost count of the useless decisions or failures to retain or resign good players that have led to this sorry mess! His comments smack of desperation – Whitley SHB
2 David Moyes is an absolute disgrace. The only thing he’s managed to get right is his prediction on the second game of the season that we would be in a relegation battle. He has destroyed this club and 3needs to go – jonjojan1958 Walk away Moyes. No dignity no self respect just greed. YOU KNOW we aren’t getting out of this mess. Five wins, I’d like to know where the first one is coming from – Borneomackem 4 Brilliant Moyes. Tactical genius. Drop someone who played really well against Man City and replace him with Rodwell because you’re worried about the midfield threat from a team that hasn’t won away all season – Someone help 5 It’s going to be a painful few weeks before the end comes, but let’s be honest the league tables do not lie, we have been dreadful and will not be any better until ‘a good clean out’ is executed–Ea sing ton red an white 6 I, like others have no faith in the current managerial set up and players (with a couple of exceptions), how many would get into last year’s escape team, Defoe & Kone were already in, so that only leaves Pickford and that’s it – ezza 7 Every time Moyes opens his mouth, garbage comes out. No SAFC fan would put Rodwell and Gibson in the same side. They are the two slowest 8 midfielders in the PL – colinross “Sunderland are close to needing something special”, Well at least we seem to have got something right, although I think its fair to say that we’ve been needing something (or someone) special 9for a while now - Samsonthecat More “Britishness”! What a great idea. Let’s drop a player with pace, imagination and creativity and replace him with a couple of 10snails – johnain “We are getting close to needing something special. It’s been done here regularly” Yes Moyes but in the past we have had players and managers who knew what to do – Stanley born and bread 11 Ok, but drop Borini or Januzai, not NDong – kevin e
