This. Moyes and Kinnear have both commented on the challenge of bringing players in which just doesn't stack up when you look at the recruitment Sunderland have done. Everyone was mocking that Xhaka interview when he clearly didn't know much...

The starting line up yesterday was similar to the car crash of the team that Dyche put out against Brighton at the start of last season. As soon as everyone saw the team it instantly rang alarm bells. Moyes needs to send out a team out on Sunday...

Barry in pre season looked miles better than Beto did, and actually looked in the Roma game to interlink with KDH already. 27m quid, a full pre season and a good season starting in la liga for a CL qualifying side in Villarreal. A less cautious...

Same applies to so many positions. Coleman was the only available right back last night and he needed replacing about 5 years ago. The only suitable replacement our. Recruitment team could find in that time was 39 year old Ashley Young.

They did try it for one season, problem was only the premier league did it- so players could still be sold abroad after the window had closed for English sides- it just didn’t really work. It needs uefa to change the window for all European sides...

‘Unprecedented summer’ And the we start the opening match with one new player in the team. As well as the obligatory 2 keepers and bunch of kids on the bench.

I dont think we will have any new players then. If we play anything like close to last night, we will get battered. We (incl thr manager) must do a whole lot better. I was really surprised how bad we started last night. Despite the recruitment...

Think using the words elite players for a elite stadium is going to come back and bite us we look so poor, 2 wingers a right back. A dm a box to box midfielder and a quality striker with a different profile to Beto needed Asap.

There were mitigating factors- no Branthwaite, no Mykolenko meant a defensive reshuffle. A very slow moving recruitment team has left us way behind most other teams. However- Moyes compounded the problems with his team selection and game plan...

Worse than any Dyche performance last night !

A true head scratcher of selection/tactical decisions. Having no left back led to a staggering amount of players in their wrong positions.

We should be winning games like today with the squad we have and the team we could put out. No problem easing in Grealish, Barry or Dibling in time. Today a game appears to have been thrown to prove a point that the manager has to waste more money.

Moyes knows best. Barry was good enough to be playing against Barca and Madrid in La Liga last season, but Moyes doesn't think he could manage newly promoted Leeds.

If we splurge nearly £50m on Dibbling and Moyes starts talking about him not being ready or needing more time before he starts games, I might cry.

How can Leeds and Sunderland come pouncing out of the game and be relentless for 90 minutes and we show this effort. Right now, we truly are who we are. It ain’t because two fullbacks are out. They were like wave after wave after wave.
