Emerson Thome Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Reminded me a bit of a late Monk/Pulis game. Bannan didn't necessarily do much wrong, but we were just launching it over his head for the first 70 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a neutral would most likely say he was our best player as he stood out more than anyone else. As for Palmer, he has had a good season, I think the vast majority would agree. Have a look over on Sunderland’s ‘Ready to go forum’ comments were made about Palmer being our only threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DoesJackHunt Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Wasn’t fit .probably shouldn’t have played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonstrix Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 How can some of you say Bannan wasn’t fit, shouldn’t have started etc. He couldn’t get into the game in the first half due to their supremacy and also the way we were booting it long all the time. When Sunderland started to panic in the last 20 minutes and sat deep, Bannan was buzzing all over the final third. So he’s spent 70 minutes chasing shadows and then still had the fitness to have a good go in the last twenty. Didn’t look unfit to me. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did better then most tonight by his own standards and yes he fluffed our best chance which by nature makes him our biggest threat. Not sure why that makes him a stand out player though.

darra Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Both teams have a couple of days recovery. Sunderland have a coach journey to look forward to on Sunday followed by a night in a hotel. They tired towards the end so not ideal preparation for them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Tonight didn’t suit Bannan… He’ll get on the ball on Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballmeist Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 The posts saying that he was fit but got marked out the game are crazy. It's no coincidence that he barely touched the ball until the last twenty minutes. We've watched him demand the ball constantly all season and play regular one twos with Johnson and luongo and that barely happened at all tonight. He didn't want the ball, and even when he was open the team didn't look to pass it to him. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude that he wasn't fit but was still played in the hope he could 'do a job' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Didn’t seem at it tonight, probably not fully fit. He wasn’t the only one that was poor tonight though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 We only got into the game because they took their best most attacking players off Keep them on and they'd have scored again I'd be fuming if I was a Sunderland fan We was there for the taking and they got a lucky 1 nil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had less touches than all bar one of the outfield players in first half, second half he wasn’t any better until they subbed off Pritchard. Moore should have not let this happen, Bannan as senior player and captain should have not let it happen either. Him, not touching the ball, not dictating play, not physical, not able…. No better than anyone on subs bench that was fit, able and willing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siowls Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I'm sure it's been mentioned already but O'Nien was stood on his fecking toes all night. Can't blame Bannan for that - he needs space to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannan was still put on the pitch, running, marking, taking set pieces etc…. Out of interest, What constitutes as not being fit in your opinion ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Dupowls Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Wow. Bannan over the last 3 months has been absolutely tremendous. Incredible really. Get off his back! The midfield was equally anonymous and the entire team poor to watch first half - poor tactics IMO as proved when we switched it around - then we finally had 25 mins of attacking Wednesday. As for those loving Palmer who yes had a good game - please keep him away from their box as he simply just can’t score!!!! Unpopular with OT.. Still - game on Monday…! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Clearly not 100% but there are some players you take a punt on, and Bannans one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CourteenerOwl Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Bannan was injured. Looked like he was to me. Strange to leave him on for the whole game if the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Bannan reminds me of Beckham, Rooney and Owen for England under Sven. Such big name players that they had to play in the big games no matter if they were fit or not. Even if Bannan had one leg falling off he will be playing on Monday. Would take a very brave manager to leave him out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
