    It was another great performance from him. Great to see him embracing the physical side of the game and combining it with his natural class.

    Him and Ekwah together looks like the way.

    Thought he was class yesterday, after been a bit below par last couple of games. The amount of minutes he has played this season I thought were catching up with him, but no sign of that yesterday. The job he did defensively in the first half was unreal tbh. Positionally he is perfect and he makes the challenges at the perfect time. I think at one point it was a 3 on 1 running at him and he pinched it right on the edge of our box, it was quality. I know I bang on about him but he is absolute quality in my eyes, and is improving all the time.

    The 3v1 could have saved the game really they go 1 up and it changes things they were tough to breakdown at 0-0 can only imagine how compact they’d have gone with something to cling too

    Leading tackler for us as well (5). Ekwah had 0, while his counterpart McCann had (13).

    I think we’ve reached the point where Joffy would be a better sub to come on later on and run teams into ground. I’d tell Amad to play up front and just go where the **** he wants, Pritchard behind him linking with midfield and Roberts and Clarke each side

    View from my Man City supporting colleague:

    I have watched a fair bit of Championship this year and Sunderland deserve play offs. Millwall are a horrible side. Your boys play with some flair. I like Ekwah. If you don’t go up, Premier League teams will come again for Jack Clarke.

    Looks like a really good partnership is forming there, both were immense yesterday and Ekwah is still improving each game.

    Apparently his name is pronounced Jallo rather than De-Allo according to this commentator

    Silly I know, but more and more, young O’Nien is reminding me of Franz Beckenbauer.

    Thanks for posting that it was a great to watch, and to think some were suggesting he needed subbing in the first half, There was even one bloke suggesting that Tony had made a strange decision at half time in replacing Cirkin with Pritch there are non so blind. <laugh>

    he’s going to be epic for somebody near the bottom of the league who needs to counter and get up the field quickly.

    timely reminder to everyone that Dan Neil wasn’t getting into our league one side at the end of last season. Neither was Hume. That’s not a knock on Alex Neil - it’s just that they’re all young and growing.

    Irrespective of our division, these lads will keep developing continuously and it’s so ****ing exciting.
