Sunderland fans dissatisfied with Tony Mowbray substitutions in defeat by West Brom.
Sunderland faced West Brom in the Championship on December 12th, 2022, at a chilly Stadium of Light, but the Black Cats fans are not happy with the head coach, Tony Mowbray, because of the substitution he made during their loss to West Brom.
The Black Cats were aware that a victory would elevate their team to the seventh position and put them 10 points above the relegation zone.
Amad, a loanee from Manchester United, gave Sunderland the lead early on when he converted the penalty he had assisted win after a brilliant one-two with Luke O’Nien.
After intense pressure from the Baggies, Tom Rogic, a former player for Celtic, levelled the score for West Brom in the second half with a spectacular strike that beat Anthony Patterson.

Seven minutes remained when Daryl Dike gave the visitors the lead, but West Brom was able to hold on and secure the three points. Patrick Roberts was introduced too late in the game as Sunderland was pursuing West Brom, and head coach Mowbray has received criticism for it.
Along with Leon Dajaku and Abdoullah Ba, Roberts was a part of a triple replacement that occurred late, towards the 90-minute mark.
Here, are what Sunderland fans are saying after the game on social media. See reactions below:
@KyleSTIKM: “Abysmal home performance again.”
@antoneee_x: “He brings on Roberts on the 89th minute. Actual trolling at this point.”
@safc_king: “Bringing on the “best player in the league” at 89 minutes. It’s bold Tony, I’ll give you that.”
@SAFCBible1879: “Roberts should’ve been on earlier.”
@Lewis_h__: “Roberts on too late.”
