black_n_white Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Xhaka and their two centerbacks were tremendous, as they have been all season. Xhaka reminds me of the impact Trippier had for us after signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t get away from the cunts Glad I watched the derby in the pub, probably would've put the telly in if I was at home.

The Prophet Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Not an original observation, but Xhaka is having a good season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Have to give them credit for being solid and resilient but they still rely heavily on luck They don't create a lot (lowest xG in the league) and the opposition regularly miss big chances Last two games they've conceded 9 big chances but only conceded 1 goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2-3 meat heads at the back, quality keeper who is very proactive and then Xhaka having an outstanding season. Brobbey a handful up front and Isidor now on the bench was scoring a few important goals earlier in the season, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boey_Jarton Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Sunderland intensity was excellent and they deserved to get something out the game. Their pitch however is a complete joke - surprised that is allowed in the premier league in 2025. Like Arthur Fowler's allotment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think that’s incredibly reductive. They’ve had solid performers that suit their system perfectly all over the pitch. Mukiele, Alderete, Ballard, Roefs, Sadliki and Xhaka have all been good whenever I’ve seen them. Plus the left back who is away at AFCON. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawalls Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I think they've now beat arsenal, beat Chelsea, drawn against Liverpool and man city - oh and villa as well. You have to say fair play to them for getting 9 points out of those 15. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 They've had an amazing season but we win on Sunday with them losing and we go above them (Yeah, I know, us winning is not a formality nor is expecting Spurs to beat them) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 To win 29 points from just 20 goals is some going mind, not sure how sustainable it is. They're grafting like fuck tbf though and every shot seems to be blocked or saved. They're working hard, being tough to beat and riding the momentum to the maximum, just don't know how long it lasts though, I sense a regression to the mean is now long overdue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said above in the thread they can't score away from home, joint lowest with Wolves. A tight defence will only get you so far, hence all their draws. Lack of goal threat will catch up eventually. But they look solid and well organised, especially at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Joel Inton Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I’m sure it’s happened loads before and I’ve never noticed but none of the teams in the top 8 of League One won today. Must have busted a fair few coupons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
