Geogaddi Posted October 4, 2025 Share Posted October 4, 2025 Sounds like a comfortable win for one of the worst Man United teams of the last 30 years against one of the best Sunderland teams of the same period . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s comfortably their best player, buts it’s odd how he actually ended up there. There were no established PL sides offering him a serious deal or he’d be there instead, I wonder if hes physically still up to a long grindy PL season and we see a drop off with him before long.

Mannone and Pantamillion were class for them and I don’t think they ever did anything else on their career? Yes, keepers tend to stand out in bad teams unsurprisingly, and having watched them today after watching an hour of them last week they are a bad team. Really poor. Man United are awful, and mainly looked it today, but they coasted it hardly breaking sweat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bonk Posted October 4, 2025 Share Posted October 4, 2025 These will fade, feel like their last couple promotion years they came out the gates blazing, then go on a run of loses mid ‘seysen’ and tumble down the table. Last year they jammied their way through the playoffs through the same type of play now. Things will go south because we aren’t shit anymore, gifting them points and when your form dips in this league, it can get much uglier than League 1 or the Champo where you have absolute dross to pickup points. They’ll be round the bottom in January and finish anywhere from 16th-19th. Burnley look worse than them, it’s whether or not Leeds, West Ham, Wolves or Brentford are equally as shit the entire season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUICE690 Posted October 4, 2025 Share Posted October 4, 2025 Their opening run of games have been as kind as they possibly could have been. Unreal really. And next up, Wolves at home! Stinky fuckers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHoob Posted October 4, 2025 Share Posted October 4, 2025 From the little I saw today they played some alright stuff, some of their players seem tidy with some nice passing but they also seemed to be lacking in real quality. Time will tell but will be interesting to see how they'll cope now that first season back in the PL buzz has worn off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was in part to do with Sunderland's owner being Swiss. He met with Xhaka personally to convince him to join and become club captain.

That's the second time I've seen them this season and my thoughts exactly, tidy footballers and a sound enough system (which is a great improvement on the team of scufflers from last season), but there's no real quality in their play. As soon as they play a few of the top teams they'll go into free fall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question mark is the longevity, although to be fair I don’t remember him having two many significant injuries at Arsenal. Perhaps one or two?

So far they've played 19th, 18th, 14th, 5th, 16th, 17th and now Man Utd in 9th. Wolves are 20th as it stands so they'll have played the current bottom five in their first 8 games and only two in the top half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted October 5, 2025 Share Posted October 5, 2025 Some of them are backslapping and consoling themselves, as football fans do, about how far they must have come to be disappointed with defeat at Old Trafford. They're dreamily confusing the name Manchester United with the reality of nowadays. Since they were last in the PL places like Bournemouth, Fulham, Brighton, Brentford etc have become tougher places to visit than Old Trafford.
