Match Day Thread Olympique de Marseille v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 3rd August 2024 - KO 15:00

Good save by their GK, good effort by Roberts

Great pressing again as a team

 

Save that!

 

Notice Browne has number 8 on today and not the 11 he’s been wearing. Maybe embo is gone

 

Roberts appears to be very much back? I assume the difference from last season is we have runners taking defenders away from him?

 

Doom merchants OTR had their pitchforks out at half time, wonder what's happening now that we've bossed this half against a champions league side.

Funny old game

 

Hes looking very good today, hope its a sign of things to come

I reckon Mundle's performance the other night n poveda signing might have him worried... i know Mundle isnt a natural RM but he was that good the other night that Roberts would be worried

 

1-2

 

Almost another one from Cirkin. Battering them

 

different team this in the 2nd half, top 2 finish now, bring on Real madrid.

 

He is just fit and his probably grafting for the new man.

 

Getting the ball to him quickly is also massive

 

Bollix. Great finish tbf

 

Good finish to be fair

 

Sucker punch

 

love it. Felt like we attacked solely down the left last season, so being able to attack down both wings and hopefully eventually thru the middle will help us big time

 

Poor defending there but cracking finish by the lad

We've been by far the better team this half tho

 

Kone is a really good player, think they signed him for £12m from Watford earlier this summer

 

Ffs Hume

 

Silly from Hume there. Worth remembering that champ teams won’t punish us as consistently for mistakes like these have today, mind.

 

A positive likeable manager seems to make a big difference for PR. Mowbray always made him feel like a superstar
