Some good, some bad but if it was all good I doubt he'd be here.

High passes per sequence is a good thing for me as someone who wants us to dominate the ball.

Concerned about the set piece numbers and the amount of shots his teams concede though.
Think we need to remember that any stats that appear "poor" or "negative" are for a team that was struggling in a higher league than we are operating.

Tbf we conceded a lot of shots per game under TM, if we’re going to be playing more open then spaces within our final third will definitely appear.

Im very intrigued at how he’ll set us up.
 
Those quotes from Yorke are delusional to the point of insanity. He needs a reality check and it doesn't look like being turned down for every job going is enough to do the trick.

Any news on the backroom staff. Would be nice if they were all unveiled together on Monday.

I think they've got to be....there has to be some clarity on who's coming in and what are the roles going forward for D and P. I'll feel a whole lot better if RLB has been able to bring his own people in.

"Dwight Yorke is someone who knows Sunderland Football Club very well."

WTF!

Sunderland have different owners, different manager, different staff, different players and different tannoy system <laugh>

How on earth does he know SAFC 'very well', he only played 59 times for us ...

... that's a really idiotic thing for anyone to say.

Interesting one , a quick read and pretty bad translation from French suggest he is very much like a performance director, seems to have had a lot of involvement in setting up coaching and development structures at lorient in partnership with Le bris.

Le Bris does mention the bloke is very much a mentor to him
