Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Sheffield United FC – Wednesday 1st January 2025 - KO 20:00

Mayenda looks so so so up for it.

 

Right idea from Mayenda and made the chance well. Him and Isidor have been class, great to see.

 

Why does he only score absolutely ridiculous goals? I wish he’d start putting the sitters away ffs

 

Liking this 2 up front thing, might catch on

 

Our defence looks uncomfortable tonight, especially the left hand side of it but our front 2 are destroying their 2 CBs

 

Mayenda looking so dangerous here. Get him the ball and let him drive at the defence. He'll get another I'm confident of that

 

Really impressed with him.

This 442 is class. So much pace in behind

 

Remember they are missing a few tonight. Their shape seems very open. We should score a few more

 

Watch RLB switch to a 2-3-5 formation after the break….

 

Our left doesn’t look great mind everything they’ve created has came down that side

 

He could have left it, that was a repeat of his own goal at Portsmouth and along with his pulling in the box every game for the pen. As I said he's having a nightmare of a half and I have never called him but sometimes you need to make changes when there's a player who's having a bad game

 

Have a like for the use of the word twatting. A personal fav.

 

HT 2-1

 

So are we

Their defence is still pretty strong but our movement upfront has been class

 

AA offering little support for Alese

 

need to keep this personnel / attacking shape for home games.

Having 2 strikers when in possession frees Isidor up as well. They’re both menaces tonight

 

Really good half. I think we could improve down the left. But it is harmer and he is class.

Our forwards are a nightmare for their back line. The pace difference is ridiculous. I would honestly just keep clipping balls down the side of them. Free territory.

 

I know and thats why it is an open game and our strikers look like world beaters. Formations can create opportunities
