Despite us being a complete waste of a football club with a shit manager who gifts them six points every season, Sunderland have struggled to finish above us. Don't see why that would change this season.
This thread is pointless and really should just be locked and no longer bothered with.
Although, to be fair, that should probably apply to the entirety of the football forum after the world cup is over. There is nothing worthwhile to discuss.
His country is in a penalty shoot out to get into a world cup semi final. He is absolutely right to be making it as hard for them as possible
Krul's macho mind games probably won it for them for all we know.
So based on these stats, De Jong rarely dribbles and probably shouldn't be allowed to, rarely passes and almost never makes creative passes, doesn't defend, but shoots and scores alot.
All of that from central midfield.
Again, odd.
Dribbles/Take-ons
This is an attempt by a player to beat an opponent in possession of the ball. A successful dribble means the player beats the defender while retaining possession, unsuccessful ones are where the dribbler is tackled, Opta also log attempted dribbles where the player overruns the ball.
