Very true.

The best part was when he attacked their fullback with his pace and went past him and their fullback brought him down and got a yellow card for it. Just keep doing that.

Always been pro Gordon and he often proves why in important games at home, he leads the press and his sheer speed just rattles defenders and they make mistakes.

Unfathomably good.

I hope he stays injury free for a long time, he's just pure class.

His best game this season, was excellent!

So happy for him, looked much better tonight and the fans got behind him. He deserved that after a rough ride last time.

Looked bright!

2, 3, 1

He oozes class. That little exchange in the middle where I think him and Tonali played like 4 or 6 very short passes back and forth within 2 seconds then he just swiveled and played another good attacking pass. Things like that get overlooked but it just was so composed and effortless.

His post match interview was very humble and wholesome. So I am assuming he's actually a good character behind the scenes. Obviously leaving Brentford the way he did wasn't ideal regarding loyalty etc but I think he just thought "It's now or never, I'm 29 and desperate to play in the Champions League", and it showed tonight. Very positive evening for all the players, I can't criticize anyone's performance or commitment tonight.

That pass by Tripps earlier was perfection!

Very strong team. I'd have started Miley and Ramsey in midfield to give the others a rest.

I don't disagree but I think he will prove to be excellent despite those weaknesses. But our tactics are very unimaginative. Hopefully something changes regarding that. He's clearly a classy playmaker that we've been crying our for but we just play him up front with no support.

In our last game the ref called a foul for a really clean tackle he made. There is a genuine bias against taller players even if they are technical and soft with challenges. He does need some fashion alterations though, it's not 2001 anymore.

I think he can bulk up, he's still young, I also think you are correct on your points. But I do believe he can do that and I also believe we are misusing him.

Correct.

Correct.

I don't neccessarily disagree. But Isak is injury prone and may never be the same after the latest one. I think we dodged a bullet and I'm glad he's gone.

I think now is the time for the leadership above Howe to take some control and ownership and sign some players, immediately. Who's to say we'll ever get Champions League again, just go for it, get some fresh energy in the door.

You are correct as per. He was working miracles and has been fantastic, but he's had a lot of money to spend the past year. Hopefully it's a lesson learned and he can find a solution, still a bright future.

I think he's just made some bad decisions this Summer regarding his obsession for Premier League players. Sunderland have built a good team with loads of cheaper buys from Europe, we could have done that, we could have got 5 bodies in instead of Elanga and Ramsey. But this can be recitfied, if he's able to learn from his mistakes, which I back him to do. If he still backs his decisions then it's worrying.

I think we've got some great players. You can see sometimes at home we are really impressive. I just think we aren't using the players as well as they could be used and I think the set up is often wrong. I think many of our good results have been because of the players performing indivdually rather than the tactics. I do think the management is good in many ways though regarding stability and Eddie is brilliant with the media. No Glasner and Amorin stuff making things toxic. We just need to take the signings off of Howe's hands I think, you simply can't spend 100 million on two players who aren't moving the needle, considering our PSR constraints.

I think that's fair.

Thank you.
