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

If Carlsberg did edge of the seat games...

 

Phew. ****ing great result.

 

Get in lads. Proud as ****.

Eliezer Mayenda. Take a bow young man. Could've easily dropped his head after the last few games but that was a performance of a top level striker.

What a way to start 2025. Go and get promotion lads. COME ON

 

Looked very dangerous going 442. Wilson less isolated and Mayenda better in middle than out wide.

Great win!

 

Only 9 points away from our entire total last season

 

Easy. Didn't think they were up to much at all tbf. We were the better team.

 

Whole pie for you lad

Mayenda MUST play centrally.

 

What a win, that is huge!! Keeps the top 2 spots in sight - we have some tricky away games from now on in but we also have lots of winnable home games

Front 2 were class 1st half, Mayenda def deserves MOTM - thought he was class all game, so pleased he got the sky MOTM

Folk were saying Mayenda should be nowhere near the starting line up but he's made a few folk eat those words tonight. He's a young lad so will be inconsistent but he has the workrate and the raw attributes you'd want in a forward

Neil and Jobe were so good out of possession, they got outnumbered throughout but continued to block passing lanes and winning tackles. I'd of liked to see them get on the ball more but thought they sent the tone for a hard working performance.

O9 was class 2nd half, thought 1st half he was 2nd but him and Mepham were very good in the 2nd half. Hume was class as well, nothing came down his side

Don't want to me miserable but we need to use our bench better, hopefully we sign a few in Janaury that RLB trusts more

 

Love to see RLB backing them too. Last season the strikers would have been rotated every game. He’s backed Isidor through his dry spell and now Mayenda

 

Stop with the compliments with the result lads. On the drink all day and during the game, fighting back tears here. Love this team!!!

 

I also think there is more than enough to play AA from time to time. Hopefully he doesn't get moved on.

 

For all their possessions they created very little in the second half! Still horrible to watch lime. But we broke really really well and should have had 3 or 4!

 

a team with Cooper - Ahmehodzic - Hamer - O’Hare - Moore..

… should be romping this league. In my opinion. Wilder a fraud.

 

Great win that and fully deserved. Fantastic goals. Should have score more really but never mind.

Mayenda was excellent, Neil too. Thought Alese did well at LB.

Don't think it'll be a popular opinion and it took replays to stop me cursing him a few times but the ref was pretty much spot on for me, I'd have him back. As long as O'Nien is told before kickoff

 

Fooking hell that was nerve racking.
Great result.

 

Enjoyed watching adil tonight final ball was lacking abit but reminded me a lot of malbranque

 

Don't think I will ever sleep again if we fail to sign the Mepo mind.

 

Mayenda..superb

 

yeh immense today.
