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

Agreed. He's quite physical for such a young lad but needs to add a bit to his game.

 

Mundle coming on and Rigg

 

A mate just texted from the game, 'There's a Mag in a shirt acting up' ...

... I hope he loses a few teeth tbh.

 

Nope, Clarke came off for him.

 

I hate to keep using the comparison because obviously they have some better players than us

but it’s the system Southampton played so well, and yes they conceded a lot of goals. But they also created a lot of chances and scored a lot of goals

 

We’re playing well. Couple of daft mistakes at the back has resulted in 2 goals conceded. That’s what happens against sides who regularly compete in Europe competitions.

I’m happy with the performance so far, just stop the daft mistakes at the back.

 

They also had excellent and I mean excellent options in the 9 positions.

That's what we need. Hopefully we get it.

 

A proper no.9 would be a game changer. We are so close to having a good team

 

Come on lads lets have an equalizer

 

I know i thought it was for Roberts so changed my post when i realised

 

We are. No doubt about it. We need Ballard back too mind.

 

Yeah 100%. We need a forward and goal scorer. Mayenda is going to be a big player for us over the years imo but needs to be eased in. Ease the expectation, get him a couple goals and learn

 

I wonder if KLD fancies giving Jude a lift back to Madrid and see if any of their players fancy a loan spell in Sunny Sunderland

 

AA Rusyn and Ba come on For Mayenda Jobe and Roberts

 

I think we need a couple to strengthen thr squad as well, hopefully a striker in next week then get rid of a few players before signing a couple more quality players

We arent far away

 

Rusyn wins a penalty

 

2-2 AA

 

It's not the keeper Frankie, it was handball imo.

 

Brilliant subs

 

Great run by Rusyn to get that pen, love how he got his body in front of his man
