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

This commentator is a prick. 2 non-fouls by our players given to them and he creams over it. Jobe just hammered by right back but linesman gives a throw in! ****ing joke

 

It is. Has to be perfect and could really kill the game off.

These are 2 cracking players they are brining in now.

 

Peck going off is a choice. Been impressed with him.

 

Another poor ref

 

Ok. It's that time when we all say that we want RLB to start to make subs but for me I can't see how we can make any changes

 

Ah they’ve moved Hamer inside to centre mid. He will just control

 

Yep, burrows is the 2nd best LB in the league imo and Brooks is an exciting player - likely means Ohare will play inside more

 

moved Hamer inside. Their formation / shape makes much more sense now.

 

He’s been excellent and is so tough to knock off the ball these days.

 

Didn't want Hamer to move infield today. Think he'll cause us problems now

 

Brewster goes close

 

Need to hold onto the ball when we get it

 

I'd be tempted to take off Mayenda in the next 5 minutes or so - feel a more natural CM in Aleksic could help us control things more

 

We need to change something as they are well on top, RLB how do we close out games that we are leading

 

I feel like the risk of that is it might not change anything control-wise but will remove our counterattack threat

 

Aye one of the forwards need to come off I think. Need an extra body in midfield.

 

****ing ref, 100% foul

 

Stop ****ing around with the ball . Just get your foot on it and start passing .

 

Possibly but Mayenda struggling so far this half

Just feel we need to do something if it stays like this for the next 10 minutes

Even move Mayenda wider - I don't like him there at the minute but keeps some pace on

 

I rest my case on the onien pen now. That onAuchiche was way worse and we didn’t get a foul for it ****ing ref
