Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Burnley FC - Saturday 24th August 2024 - KO 15:00

Browne for me. Both him and Rigg deserved to start today and no reason to drop him out. Can do the Neil role I’m sure

 

Premier League left back easily. Hope it takes them a while to notice.

 

How good is he at anticipating the pass out to the winger and intercepting it, think he did it 3 times today then carried the ball 40 yards

 

Incredible isn’t he. MOTM for me today, which are a much better team when he’s in it.

 

Have to admit I’d written him off and wouldn’t have batted an eyelid if he’d gone in the close season. Just proves what I know.

 

He makes Hume look absolutely ****e.

 

Wouldn’t go that far. Bit OTT. He’s better than Hume but doesn’t make him look “absolutely ****e”

 

Could argue he has been MOTM for 3 games on the spin. Outrageous for a LB

 

Is that tongue in cheek, it is isn't it?

 

A stretch but you get my point. I think if we had an athlete like that on the right, we would be outrageous

 

I do get the point absolutely. Just think it’s a tad harsh. Hume didn’t look ****e today!

 

Yeah. But the difference is significant for me. People say 10m for Hume. I don't see it. I don't see him in THE PL. I do Cirkin.

 

I think he was our worse player. Apart from mayenda.

 

Roberts, Cirkins and Mundle unplayable today. The other 8 weren't far behind.

 

would agree with this. Hume is a good championship right back. Cirkin could genuinely be a backup top 4 premier league left back and I won’t have anybody convince me otherwise. He has everything

 

I think it's because Hume's there that Cirkin knows he can rampage down the left tbh.

 

We’ll have resolution to the Ekwah transfer issue next game. And tbf we have no real need to cash in now. For me it should be PE who comes in. He was the one who’s had the most game time in the role under RLB so far.

 

I thought Mayenda played very well. Hume, I agree, he's not quite there yet. Still loads of time for him.

 

Unbelievable

Stays fit and he’s gone.

 

He has a ceiling for me. His pace his a massive concern. Even today he got his arse pulled out a few times.
