It's the errors and inability to execute the basics which continually haunt us.
Valery isn't really up to this level. Smith definitely isn't.
I don't know why so many of them seemed unmotivated or lethargic yesterday but that was one of the differences between the teams.
Off the ball movement is something else that needs work

Just watched the highlights that's enough for me and it could have been 3-4 to Burnley if chances were taken !
I thought our first present wasn't that bad as far as footwork was concerned and more of a muscle tussle which Valery got bullied out off ! I'd revert back to ithiekwe here who might not be a technical gifted player but he stands his ground well !
The second present was due to our midfield being super weak and it got carved in two pieces to easy! Bannan and Charles can win you games but they are also leave us exposed and again no authority at center back to let us play like this and no ratter in the middle either ! Dr needs to realize if we sit back against better teams then he needs a stronger Backbone ! The only option he has at the minute isn't this it's attack teams and this means musaba and Gassame have to be on there toes consistently because Johnson had one of his I'm going missing games ffs ....our misses is what you what expect from a striker of 2020s era 50/50 chances! .. back to 1990s 100,% goals so I'm not to worried about that I think it will come for Ugbo in the next few games should DR not drop him !

EFL Stooges just let Sunderland get away with handball just outside the area.
Interesting which teams consistently benefit and which don't.
A little bit like Leicester being awarded 15 penalties last season and we had one which was swiftly recinded.
The game is corrupt.
Soft penalty for Liverpool too
