Geordie Ahmed

Yeah, I thought he was brilliant first half and then in the latter part of the second he was quite sloppy, where he was looking for the foul even though there was a passing option available Overall though he's in really good form, just need him to maintain that after an average start to the season

Don't blame O'Neil, it was never a penalty I'm just surprised VAR didn't actually tell the ref to look at it again

If those are the two options then it says a lot about the other guy that Ashley is the better option

I'm basing it on what the statisticians consider a big chance, both Fotmob/Sofascore had them as 0 big chances whereas we had 4

The second goal had numerous errors From Lascelles conceding a pointless free kick, to the Pope punch, the "defending" from our players that made a CB look like Messi, to Burn lunging in and no staying on his feet It was a number of errors What's frustrating is that we've drawn a game 2-2 in which the opposition didn't create a big chance

As a team they aren't on that level but Cunha/Neto are very good at either getting into that space or driving through midfield and taking out a couple of players

I agree due to a combination of them being in decent form, us not having won there in ages, they have in Cunha, Neto two players that can exploit that space that Villa and Brighton have exploited and with us being very stretched

Some strike by Bellingham that, he's ridiculous

Norwich are shite so Sunderland should be winning with ease

I thought the keeper got the touch but rewatched it a few times since and it was Maupay that plays the pass

And that's that, Maupay almost ballsed that up

And again, though Mbuemo scored The counter for the chance before was really good

Should have been 2 to Brentford there and game over

When did he speak about himself?

We don't know what he's specifically bet on as there are conflicting reports out there but I would suspect a 10 month ban means he has bet on football, which is a massive no go It's shit for us but he deserves the punishment I'm just glad he's seemingly allowed to train, that would be too much of a punishment imo and counter productive

There has to be a ban otherwise where is the deterrent? If it was just illegal gambling then I wouldn't agree with a football ban but he's bet on football games and games in which he's involved, it's a clear violation of the rules

Being able to train and play in friendlies is significant. Back in time for next season, no excuse for him not to get fully immersed into the club and every tactical aspect of what Howe needs

Harsh to blame him for the goal Thought he was pulled back initially but he carries on and it's a fantastic tackle by Schlotterbeck They still had a bit to do and there was a lack of urgency from a few players Attacking players will get tackled and lose the ball when trying to take players on, it's part and parcel Overall I thought he was our best player and has been our best this season, he caused them all sorts of problems and should really have gotten an assist if Wilson took his chance The one aspect of his game he could really work on is his finishing, it's clearly not natural to him but with the chance he got he needs to know low and going for the far corner is the best choice to make

Thought he looked very rusty against Palace, same again tonight Coming back from injury he probably will take a few games to get up to his usual high standard

Quite unlucky not to get something from the game There was the huge Wilson chance and then hit the woodwork twice, such fine margins in elite competition Gutted but not angry

Hope Howe has made some tweaks Massive 45 mins coming up, we can definitely get something from this, just need to play a bit smarter

He needs to make his passes quicker, this isn't just a tonight issue but in general sometimes he holds on to it a bit too long

Gordon should have went down as he was pulled

They do look dangerous on the counter, entertaining game so far

Class from Pope, poor from Longstaff
