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

I think O hare is pretty overrated, does some nice stuff but doesn't score or assist anywhere near enough for his technical ability

Hamer is class, thought he was very good tonight

 

100% record when hjelde subbed on

 

Heard he's getting a restraining order against you

 

Dan Neil was also brilliant as well today.

Patto - 7.5
Hume - 7
Mepham - 8
O’Nien - 6
Alese - 6.5
Neil - 8
Jobe - 8
Aouchiche - 6.5
Roberts - 7.5
Mayenda - 9
Isidor - 8

 

Think he has been below par once all season. Otherwise it's either a 8 or 10/10 performance. Absolute beast.

 

I'd probably give Hume and Patterson an 8 as well

 

Did we deliberately sit deeper second half or was it not in our hands, more Sheff U strengths making it happen?

 

Good decision TBF.

 

Wilson’s best game too, so much more effective with bodies around him

 

Patto got marked down because he scared the **** out of me with his footwork

 

Bit of both I reckon

 

relief at the end there.

 

Might be wrong here, but I don't think there was a single offside today for either team.

 

Yet again we made so many really good openings and should have scored 3 and more.

 

Jesus. Didn't see all those drags with the corner in the 92nd minute!

 

cheers again RTB...

think i need to get my pacemaker a power boost ffs, what a team man, just wish we could take the lead with two or three goals and then settle into the game...onien will hold his hands up but this game basically confirmed to me that he is not a CD, the lad does a damn good job in there and showed his mettle towards the end with some good clearances but i hate watching corners against us, even alese got in on the act the neet.

officials i would have to guess are either leeds or burnley fans, can't say they did owt drastic but to my eyes were not entirely fair to both teams, they did seem to give all of the 50/50 decisions to united.

i did say mayenda would bury the next one of those and he made sure of that, wilson would chase a cheetah if it had a ball in front of it but dan neil gets my MotM again, it's those little moves and nicking the ball plus his passing...adil again had a decent enough game but still needs to do more (final ball) to ensure his place imo.

 

there was one when they “scored” whilst fouling Patto

 

Haha fair enough, hate when the ball is at his feet but he did his main job today - keep the ball out of the net (well except for o9s og)
