Match Day Thread Cardiff City FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 10th August 2024 - KO 12:30

He looked like someone whos kicked a football for the first time the way he swung for that

 

Great ball in by Jobe

 

Decent save by the keeper but should've buried it

 

Aye Jobe doesn't pass forward does he.

Has to score there, use your right foot.

 

It was like. Clean through one on one. Sitter for a decent striker.

 

This was my worry, very difficult position to master and we’re trying another 8 there rather than a 6. Going to be a steep learning curve for Neil if we persist and now has responsibility of the armband. A lot of pressure to take on

 

If it’s a yard further forward it’s perfectly on his left and I reckon he scores

 

A specialist CDM should have been our priority this season, and last when we lost Evans. More vital than a striker. But not by much

 

Maybe just had to open his body a bit more and let it run a little further. Easier said than done mind!

 

Giving the ball away far too easily at times

 

Ha'way Reg, subs now.

Browne has to keep coming to our right, we're being swamped.

 

If he lets it run as well massive chance of a penalty/red card scenario.

 

Neil can play cdm tho, hes not been great on the ball today but done some excellent work defensively

 

Yeah an experienced forward probably would have. He’s 19 so I don’t mind as much

 

Your CF has to hold the ball better and be stronger than the way Mayenda is . It takes the pressure off your team-mates

 

No way, after watching Mayenda today a striker is priority, we need 2 ideally and then a CDM

 

72 mins Rusyn on for Mayenda

 

I think today shows he can not. Most of cardiffs attacks have come from Neil losing the ball in that exact position.

 

I thought mayenda should have taken a touch on his left then hit it with his right

Can tell theres a player there n he showed some glimpses but needs to be more aggressive

 

Rusyn on for Mayenda
