HawK

Elanga living off that CL performance still, elsewise he's really not been very good at all for us. It's good he had that CL game otherwise the knives would be out en masse I feel. Got to hope there's a player in there somewhere.

That was great reading of the play from Woltemade to drop back to receive the pass, was watching him closely

Close

Where Ramsdale helps us most over Pope is where we're playing against a high press, he's an extra option at the back to receive the ball and consistently find a black and white shirt. But you'd want Pope in goal in most defensive situations I think.

Thiaw trying to be a bit too clever there, Tonali not expecting it

Burn with the dummy again

Bergval always looked good when I've seen him play

Dan Burn with the elite dummy there

Must be something in the keepers' water supply up this way

Hope Willock grows from that, if there's a player that needs a confidence boost it's him

Oh god Ramsdale is so much better than Pope in possession it's not even funny

Lol at that 'long throw'

Take that you shoe tying fuckers

Game's showing our squad depth well so far. Hoping the faith in the squad is repaid in the result and doesn't sour Eddie to rotating in the future

Dan Burn possessed by Roberto Carlos there

Jesus christ Woltemade is good

Quality on the ball from Ramsey there, makes space for himself

Marco Boogers

To have Cafu that high but not have Roberto Carlos at all in that list undermines the whole thing imo

I mean, you can't disprove it

Now I remember why it's bad to do ratings so soon after the game

Pope - 6 Trippier - 5 Botman - 6 Thiaw - 8 Burn - 6 Bruno - 7 Miley - 6 Joelinton - 4 Gordon - 7 Woltemade - 6 Murphy - 7 Subs Tonali - 7 Elanga - 5 Barnes - 6 Osula - 7

Aw bless, this is the absolute peak of any living Sunderland fan's life.

Think any side in the world would be tbh
