Conceded about 60 of them in the first 10 games of the season when their defence was filled with 16 year olds. Grow up. He was great against us on boxing day

He's been poor every time he's put on a Sunderland shirt. He looks terrified when the ball is anywhere near him.

I don’t think all that much of him from what I’ve seen tbh. I’d rather play McLaughlin this far. With Feeney back in the new year and potentially Younger at some point, I think we’d probably have sufficient cover. May just be early jitters though.

That's kind of the point though. Yet another damning indictment of our recruitment. Also of our uncanny ability to bring in promising loanees and use them (or not) in a way that demonstrates none of their promise.

Not to mention the poor use of the loan market again and that yet another team sends out a prospect to us to get game time just to see them hardly used. Hardly going to help our chances of attracting any talent in the future.

It’s nonsense but he’s played 3-5-2 in all but one game this season so it’s almost certainly going to be that. Even Parkinson wouldn’t play scowen or power left wing but take your point that it’s no more ridiculous than Onein at centre back - difference is he’s inexplicably done that several times before

I’m not saying it won’t be 3-5-2, in fact I’m pretty sure it will be.

I was responding to another poster who seemed amazed that anyone was speculating it may be 4-4-2

With the personnel listed, it’s not a massive leap of assumption. That’s all.
