Gumtree Trolls Sunderland's Jan Kirchhoff After Horror Debut vs. Spurs

Dealing with criticism is just part of the job in the life of a professional footballer.

But you have to think things aren't going well when Gumtree (yes, Gumtree) is trolling you on Twitter.

The site—known more for posting classifieds than football analysis—tweeted as Jan Kirchhoff's Sunderland went down 4-1 to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday afternoon, with the German playing a forgettable cameo off the bench.

Kirchhoff, who joined the Black Cats from Bayern Munich earlier in January, came on in the 59th minute with the scores locked at 1-1.

Within a minute, the visitors were 2-1 down. Christian Eriksen's second goal deflected in off Kirchhoff less than 10 minutes later, and the former Bayern man conceded a penalty, which Harry Kane converted, after 79 minutes.

The Internet, predictably, was not kind.
