I don’t think his agent gives a fuck where he goes or if he stays as long as he gets his cut.

If he had our stats in a Liverpool shirt instead of black and white they’d be saying he’s one of the top picks in the world.

I found it again

Nobody complained (much) when we finished in top 4 with burn playing LB. He waited a long time until burn had declined a lot before giving Lewis Hall a run of games.

I’m done - haven’t posted on here in a long time and ending this now as well.

14 times according to that article - unbeaten in all 14, also I said Tonali hasn’t proven we pick more points up in a run of games when he’s in the team (not saying he ever will) but you know, you’ve got me all ends up as you’ve cherry picked one game out as an example. look I hope Tonali does well but I hate the whole let’s all hate longstaff thing on here.

I’m genuinely glad we have Howe making these decisions (if he is)

That amount of money doesn’t go a as long way these days so maybe not but if it was to be all put into a RM can’t say I wouldn’t be tempted personally.

On winning when he plays? whenever a Tonali start doesn’t work out, when this midfield lineup has this record - I just reckon Howe will always drop back to this lineup as it just picks us up points. Look I rate Tonali but I’m yet to see him improve our points tally for us over a spell of time like Longstaff has and I personally hate the stick Longstaff gets on here.

Longstaff stats they state when willock, joelington, Bruno and Longstaff have started - in all 14 games they’ve never been beaten. Hard to drop him based on that.

I was working in London a few years ago and talking to a spurs fan, remember him telling me he was at a game where we were playing then at SJP - we were winning and they were peppering shot after shot. He said there was about ten minutes left and he just left saying “we’re not gonna beat Given today”. We did win that game apparently.

Forgot he existed to be honest, will be good to have him return

Speaking to some Sunderland supporting family of mine - it’s mainly down to getting structure and an identity about their play but mainly tightening up the defence. Eight clean sheets then only conceding a single goal for another three games out of your first 14 games will give you every chance to pick up points.

At the same time 4 of their last 5 games have been away games and there’s only one team picked up more points than them in those 5 games. You can only beat the teams in front of you and after the way they finished last season to have a new manager come in and basically transform their defence so they’re keeping so many clean sheets regardless of the opposition is plenty for them to be happy about.

I mean does Lewis hall get any credit or is it all Eddie?
