    Yeah agreed. But he needs to learn that role for me, still got a long way to go, but he’s done ok at times

    Feel like this is the problem with Sunderland (and football) today, everyone's now only as good as their last game. Players have stinkers every now and then, it doesn't define how good they are.

    Turn in silly positions, losing the ball. Watching the ball run past him to then play a pass and losing the ball. That's what he does, rightly in the CM. You don't do that in the CDM.

    He is definitely better suited to CM for me.

    Aye. Does look a bit ‘too soon’ for him in honesty but there’s definitely a prospect there.

    lost this 2nd half so far, really need to wake up...pointless trying to hold on to a 1-0 lead and allowing them all the play.

    Still had the best chance though! They’ve been better, but created little!

    Nothing wrong with that, as you said he can play CDM but hes also class as a CM

    Its not been his best game in possession today but done some really good things out of possession
