Many Sunderland fans have been criticising the performance of Grant Leadbitter in their 1-1 draw with Lincoln City in League One on Saturday afternoon.
Lee Johnson's team took the lead at the Stadium of Light through a rare goal for Callum McFadzean after a fine ball by Max Power, before Callum Morton equalised for the visitors just after the hour mark.
It will surely be seen as two points dropped by the hosts as they look to chase promotion back to the Championship at the end of the season.
Leadbitter was just one of a number of players who struggled throughout the game, losing out on four of his duels while also failing to record a single interception or tackle from the centre of midfield (Sofascore).
The former Ipswich Town and Middlesbrough man also lost possession of the ball no fewer than seven times in total over the course of the match, as he was substituted off in the 71st minute for Ross Stewart (Sofascore).
Sunderland fan reaction to Leadbitter display
These Black Cats supporters slammed the 35-year-old's performance on Twitter, with one Sunderland fan describing the veteran as 'leggy':
"O'Nien and Leadbitter cost us two points today. Clear weak links against a strong, rapid counter attacking team"
"Every time Leadbitter starts the tempo is awful. We can’t press with him and he slows the whole game. Had his day, needs to be a sub used when we need to slow a game down and that’s it."
"Think Leadbitter performances of late has proved he should go to academy to train the kids...we have no momentum ..are ponderous and pedestrian when he starts #SAFC"
"Think Leadbitter didn’t have a good game, slows the tempo down massively in the middle of the park. Baffled by the midfield selection tbh. #SAFC"
"Wrong starting line up, Power and Leadbitter have no pace in cm, looked very leggy, only one team looked like winning it in second half"
"How can he not see Leadbitter makes this team worse. He should have retired the same time as Danny Graham. The midfield is full of slow players we've never had a foothold in this game"
