Weekend Debate

WHU beating Newcastle means Nuno tactics taking hold so I’m guessing they will soon climb out of the bottom 3 and a very good reason why we need to start to climb too or we are right in the thick of the dogfight

I think minimum 2 points next two games. No reason we can’t get a point at home to Villa and should probably beat Forest however away from home I would take a draw, it’s more of a must not lose to keep them away.

On this team of ours and who is a prem player who isnt. One person I believe who is not a prem player but doesn’t seem to get much flack is Jack Harrison. Can anyone remember him going past a defender or putting in a good cross? All I can see him doing is stopping his run and passing sideways or playing backwards. I can also remember about 4 wild shots that were Sunday league quality. That was a decision DF took to keep him over keeping Ramazani.

I can’t help thinking that Ramazani is one of those players who gets better and who’s reputation enhances the less he plays.

At least Ramazani goes past players and actually shoots on target. Yes he may be struggling in Spain maybe he had the crap kicked out of confidence whilst being bollocked every time he played. Even though he was much better than what we get from Harrison. Oh and the dig at Cresswell is **** as he has scored more goals this season than any of our players ffs

Or maybe Ramazani’s level is championship? Harrison has played far more PL games than practically our entire squad and certainly more than him, don’t get me wrong, I don’t rate Harrison but clearly some managers do.

For a newly promoted club to survive, you need a bit of luck. A hell of a lot of things have gone Sunderlands way so far this season. I'd say we had a bit of luck in the first game against Everton but after that we've had a few things go against us.

Should have had at least a point at Fulham, an extra 2 against Bournemouth, probably deserved a point against Spurs and outplayed Burnley for the most part. Let's say we could possibly have had another 5 points at this stage if lady luck had fully backed us. That would put us on 16 points which would be a point behind Sunderland.

Sunderlands expected goals against and expected goals for will even out over the season and they will ultimately fall away. They also spent around 50% more than us.

Fair play to them but ultimately the difference between them and us is their players are exceeding their stats. Ours are performing roughly where they should be.

this exactly. Prior to Chelsea they’ve had a very friendly fixture list and ridden their luck. Their expected points total is well below ours.
