I still laugh at Jacob Murphy appealing for hand ball after Brobbey scored.

This is one of my favourite clips from Sunday, a true classic ...
... sums up exactly how pathetic the Mags have become.

Ive watched that a few times now and there so many examples of no effort from their players its ridiculous. Hall didn't track le fee, livermento stood there like a statue as brobbey got the ball twice, 2 players megged, joelinton not closing xhaka down and then jogging back, Murphy jogging back then stupidly shouting for handball, then thiaw collapsing like hes just been shot by a sniper.
Or Livramento stand watch a striker have 2 goes at scoring a goal and not moving a muscle
It wasn't even a great pass from Sadiki. Pushed Le Fee a bit further wide. Who cares like.
KLD was only 13 years old the last time the mags beat us in the Premiership.
Since then he grew up, bought Sunderland, turned everything around and assembled a squad good enough to do the double over them at the first attempt since our return to the Prem.
Not bad going that like!
A clever, clever goal that. Le Fee getting right back into his own half to take the ball, then sprinting into the box, knowing he'd be found and knowing what to do when he got there, the impeccable Xhaka having had the the calm to play a spot on through ball to duracell Sadiki. Brobbey's first effort was pretty good actually, the ball was right behind him and he did very well to get his first time effort on target.
But maybe my favourite bit of it was Willock's contribution. It encapsulated them totally. An attempted, over ambitious pass (for a player of his quality), then the interception, then Willock decides he'd think about having a slow trot back.
If he had got a wiggle on, he might have been able to put Sadiki off a bit, but maybe he was tired as he'd been on for 30 minutes by then. Then the pass out wide, then Enzo's nutmeg and Brobbey's finish. By then, the clearly exhausted Willock eventually arrives on the scene as the ball hits the net.
Out of either guilt or embarrassment, he then collapses as if he had been shot by a Japanese sniper. Fantastic. (Or maybe he really WAS tired!)
how many, like me, were watching for sadiki after the goal, i knew he had his smily face on but in one angle you can plainly see him, all alone, dancing like he is center stage...feckin love that man!!
Brobbey was very clever with his first shot. He doesn't really try to hit it, he positions himself so the ball "hits" him to direct it where he wants it to go and he trusts the pace on the ball in. That helps with the rebound, more pace on it and the ball could ricochet away from him. But also if he tries to blast it or put more pace there's the risk he puts it wide. I will say that it was a pretty decent save from Ramsdale, but Brobbey's reaction was spot on. Watching it again let's you see it's actually a good piece of football all round making the most of the play.
He's something else mind. I wonder if he ran home again?
Got me new Tattoo today haway haway haway

We can soon get a collectors set of 4 1st class sniper edition.
From their misplaced pass to 5 precise passes from us, Mr B breaks their hearts.
