I'm still baffled by AN's tactics yesterday

Sunderland were more in need of the win than us, so why did we play right into their hands by playing so high and allowing ourselves to be hit on the break.

Sunderland were always going to sit deep and try and get Defoe in over the top - Fat Sam said as much pre match and even if he hadn't, it was obvious to all within five minutes of the game that was their tactic.
We should have done similarly - I'd have gladly taken a dire 0-0.
