We asked for your thoughts after Monday’s Premier League game between Sunderland and Burnley.

Here are some of your comments:

Sunderland fans

Paul: Another great response to a disappointing defeat away from home. The players who are back from Afcon were great and we looked strong across the park. A lot said about Burnley being poor, but I believe our high press and intensity in winning the ball contributed to them looking second best.

Mason: A performance full of energy, in contrast to the last match at West Ham. Habib Diarra brought much-needed intensity to the team and some of the football was a joy to watch. If only we had a clinical goal merchant to put away those gilt-edged chances, though Brian Brobbey’s hold-up play was excellent. Burnley were poor so it’s difficult to judge how good a Sunderland display that was.

Tommo: Amazing night, three goals and a clean sheet. What more is there to say?

David: How refreshing to see midfielders run directly at the opposition, get a shot away and reap the rewards. Diarra and Chemsdine Talbi looked bright on their return and they’re forming an immediate connection with the ever-improving beast Brobbey. Another smart day off the pitch and great night on it for the club. The future is bright, the future is red and white.

Burnley fans

Andy: The word for our display was insipid. All season long, there has been no block, poor decisions and no – or little – desire to play and win. There is no fight – they are almost like mercenaries. We don’t learn from our mistakes, nor does Scott Parker, and definitely not our useless owners. We are doomed and I think the yo-yo years are over – unless something drastic occurs, it’s League One and beyond. After 67 years of support I’m so depressed, thanks to this pathetic display.

Barry: Absolutely woeful. We lack passion as well as quality. Poor signings, or lack of, and questionable tactics are putting us back to where we belong in the Championship. If we don’t change things quickly then, sadly, we may not be good enough for that league.

John: Angry that the team has disintegrated to this, but mainly embarrassed.

David: This was a deeply disappointing performance, not just because of the result, but because of how passive and predictable we looked throughout the game. There was a real lack of intensity, both in and out of possession. We never imposed ourselves, never made Sunderland uncomfortable, and for long spells it felt like we were reacting rather than competing. What’s most frustrating is the absence of a clear attacking identity, not one attempt on target! We didn’t lose fighting, we lost without ever really landing a punch.

Mark: Was a very painful watch for 90 minutes. The team had no fight or even knew what to do. We just let them run the game. Parker should go now – either get sacked or hand in his resignation. We’re so poor and he hasn’t got the technical tactics for the Premier League. He is as bad as Vincent Kompany was.
