Is he playing alone up front or with Huckerby?

With Wijnaldum and Sissoko out wide we're never gonna get the width that we should have. Personally i think we need 4 players in now in january (wont happen) A LB, CB, DM and a striker. I would go 4-3-1-2

They will prove their worth, Mitro and Perez. Even though Perez plays more like an attacking midfielder since we have no one in the centre even near being able to do what he can. CM, CB and LB should be our priorities. Yes we need another striker, but not to replace Mitro.

If we were to bring in a striker i would much rather like to see someone in the mould of Remy. Play that striker next to Mitro with Perez behind. Austin is not the perfect choice imo. Especially not fucking Adebayor.

And we're pretty much only playing with one striker. Cissé needs to be replaced though.

Our strikers are fine, and they will prove it very soon. It would help if we had more width and better service from the wide positions as well.

Don't be fucking stupid TCD!

Nice finnish.

Kevin Maybe fit!

No man Just that players get injured left right and centre at our club. And he just suffered another injury so it's probably our fault as well I'm boring i know..The post might have sounded more serious than it was supposed to. Sorry.

We were linked with him and our physio called him recently to find out how his recovery was progressing. Apparently we gave him a few tips as we wanted him fit and ready for us in january. He's injured now for a longer period than expected.

And Janmaat doubtful for the next game? Good that we signed all the players needed..

Oh still injured..

Was Mbabu on the bench against Stoke? I read that he's supposed to be fit again? Not seen much of him so it's early days, but going by what we've seen he looks like a football player compared to Haidara.

If we do loan him could we play him in CM instead of Colback?

He hasn't exactly got lots of good crosses in from the wide areas overall either. I like him and he's very good and important to us. We need some width to stretch the opposition as well to create more space in the box for Mitro, Gini and Perez. With Gini playing out left we desperately need a quality LB with end product and pace providing width and overlaps.

Not surprised, he was brilliant i thought. Apart from a couple of times in the 2nd half when he was either tired or unfocused and lost the ball a couple of times. Genius!

Did i see it correctly if i say that he took down one high ball perfectly just outside of their penalty area looking like he was making a karate kick but instead he took it down and with him like it was nothing I think it was in the 1st half a little bit out to the left. Whatever it was it looked like you're not supposed to be able to do it

My gut feeling says that this will be another one of those where we don't even turn up

Sunderland are going down this year.

Question is how the hell are we gonna be able to attract quality if results don't get better asap? The club has fucked up, again..

I agree, i'd be amazed (surprised) if we signed as many as two though

Very annoying some comments! He'd probably score more if we had some width to stretch the opposition so that he'd get a bit more space in the more central areas. He's the real deal imo. So talented.

How many "must win" games has there been lately?
