Sunderland fans are understandably growing impatient with the team’s performance after six matches without a win, and Max Power seems to be the main target of criticism at the moment.
The centre-midfielder has been a mainstay in the starting line-up this season under both Jack Ross and Phil Parkinson, but he has mostly underwhelmed in his 20 appearances.

As a result, Grant Leadbitter has been recalled to the side in recent matches to bolster the midfield in a bid to make the Black Cats more dominant in possession, but the manager’s changes are yet to have a positive effect.
Fans are concerned with Power’s lack of contribution and one fan believes his effort levels have gone backwards under Parkinson, which is a bad sign for both the player and coach.
That has led to a feeling that he should be out of the team, though given the lack of quality options in midfield that is something Sunderland may be unable to do until they make more additions in January.
Here is some of the discussion taking place about Power between fans on social media.
In other Sunderland news, a former player has spoken out about who he thinks is to blame for Sunderland’s crisis, and it is a feeling which should be shared by most fans.
