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

If all teams came at us like Sheff Utd we’d create so much more, we’re great on the counter… but teams park the bus and sit deep so we don’t have the luxury of being able to run in behind as much

 

Just think of it like this, if Onien doesn’t do that we go behind as Moore probably slams it in!!

 

Chris basham Sunderland lad

 

I really like adil btw.

 

That's a great stream! Clicked on it and straight in, no ads whatsoever!

 

Having a great game imo

 

Bollocks have another look of it as the ball wasn't going anywhere near him, it was heading towards hume and the other side of the goal

 

That’s exactly what the happened with the first to be fair someone smashed it in

 

Need to keep up the intensity and tighten up at the back. We look such a threat on the break but terrible at the back. Mayenda has been top notch though, shame he didn't score his second but their defense can't handle him

 

It's one minute ahead of sky what me lad paid for. He's seen his arse twice cos am cheering we've scored before he see's it

 

I think our defence has been pretty good in open play. Set pieces on the other hand….

 

Deflection of Adil was important. If he doesnt turn his back it probably doesnt get past him. One of my pet hates that. But Adil has done some really good stuff attacking wise, dont want to dig him.

 

O’Nien can’t see or know this in the 0.1 seconds he had to make the decision though.

You absolutely do not want your centre back leaving a ball like that in the 6 yard box like you’re suggesting he should have:

 

I'm watching in the SAFC steam. Switched onto Sky and WhatsApp went off when Mayenda scored but I was nowhere near it so went back to SAFC

 

Good going forward but has to work back also and help Alese.

 

Snow storm

 

Aye he's not been great defensively but it took Clarke about half a season to get the hang of his defensive duties, Adil's playing catch up isn't he. Should have been involved more for me. Definitely a threat going forward as you say.

 

Where did he think his diving header was gonna put the ball, that's a exact replica of his goal at Portsmouth

 

That was an exhilarating first half, the auld nads shrunk, and ended up where my tonsils should be, my throat is sore shouting, now if i have to get the pray mat out to make sure of the win i will. Looking forward to the second half, but got a sweat on like

 

Unlucky! Great ball from AA
