Off Topic Non-Sunderland games

we really arent far away

 

Think City win it personally. Love Reijnders and I just think they've recruited well in general. They look a lot younger and sharper.

 

Maybe, but personally I don't see them scoring the goals. Third for me.

 

I suspect they need to sell him for psr reasons

 

Probably. And of course, because they have wasted hundreds of millions on rubbish.

 

He was superb yesterday. Brilliant signing

 

They love an expensive signing over a lad that came through the ranks. So very different from the Fergie years

 

No chance imo. Their game is so limited - far more limited than their talent levels should yield. They can’t George Graham their way to a title these days. They’ll need more than that.

 

In fairness to them they always have one of their young lads in the side or on the bench. But the roundabout of managers has hurt them massively.

 

Love Reijnders too. Worry a tiny bit about their defence. If Rodri comes back as good as ever then that will be sorted.

 

They do, but their fans demand big signings far more than they used to.

Guess its the modern fan, demanding instant world class players and ignoring the academy

 

Sturridge gets a lot of stick but I actually think his analysis is great. His stuff on strikers is so insightful.

 

Yeah I was watching Sunlun videos instead

 

Class

 

Glasner is superb. Done a special job there

 

Do I take it we all want Leeds to be thrashed tonight ...

... on the basis that Everton may struggle but won't go down.

I keep seeing Leeds fans suggesting it's better for both teams if they and Sunderland 'pull together'.

I've honestly no idea what they're talking about tbh.

Unless two of the 'relegation candidates' are playing each other, in which case I want draws, I'd want them to lose.

Leeds, Burnley, Brentford and Wolves, all losing on the first weekend gives us a boost imo.

 

I think we need Leeds to win, on the basis we need them to pick up points.

We could finish above Everton I think they really poor even with the little flurry of business they’ve done.

I fancy Leeds pinch that game.

If Leeds and Burnley lose too many games, we will be under threat of being Ipswich, who were competitive but had no help as everyone was taking 4-6 off bottom 2.

The more points Leeds and Burnley get, the less we will need. Not unrealistic to think we might not care given the o going recruitment and improvement but as it stands 17th remains the objective.

17th and the FA Cup.

 

That makes it more dicey in my opinion and also means the games against them become critical.

I’d rather Leeds and Burnley plummet and we target Wolves, Brentford, etc …

… although you do make a good point so I’m having a think now

 

Yep i want a draw or Everton win, Leeds fans have annoyed me this summer

 

The high % option is being able to finish above more clubs mate.

That’s the simple terms way of explaining it, more clubs at risk, more teams we can outrun.

Massive pressure if we end up in an essential head to head with Brentford or Wolves say, all it then takes is one forward to have a purple patch and you’ve got a problem.
