Not really, his opinion like so many on here is a little ott but he can't hold a regular place down in a side that's been one of Sunderland's worst ever up to now. Hopefully he'll improve along with the team as Coleman's work kicks in but up to now he's been very poor in a very very very shit team

To say he’s our worst ever player is ‘a little off’? I don’t think so marra!!

Have you ever played football? If so, surely you must know that "being in the right place to tap in from 2 yards" doesn't just happen. It's certainly more skill and judgement than luck.

Shame we don't have a few more who know to be in the right place from 2 yards.

Altidore was class at it.

Major lerls
 
SMB classic this

Gets pelters before he scored on Saturday

Now he scores 'he's playing out of position', 'he works hard' etc etc

We've had a lot worse players but him being a first team regular says more about the state of the club than his footballing ability

He got dropped from the Gateshead team for my mate, my mate dropped 2 pills the night before and hadn't slept

That says it all

Yet I saw most of his games at Gateshead (where he was 19) and saw a physically fragile but intelligent, hardworking young footballer who did pretty well on the whole.
 
He's had a couple of decent games recently. Before that the kid didn't know how to take the ball forwards. The Millwall game was particularly frustrating because there were probably 4-5 times where he had space and time to take the ball forward and he checked his run and went backwards. Worth noting that he's not that young anymore. He did better against Villa mind. Will be interesting to see how Coleman uses him.

That your mate is a twat and will probably hate you for dropping him in the shit by announcing in public he's a pillhead who's happy to do drugs the night before a match?

I can see why people aren't convinced by him but I think he'll develop if he's properly coached and plays in a settled side.

As for the goal, I'd have to disagree ..... look where he is when Grabban gets the ball and where he is when he scores.

Remember, this is at the end of a very hard fought game and no one would've noticed if he'd stayed where he was.

He'd run from the edge of his own box to be '2 yards out' if you're being fair.

That 'will to win' and determination is exactly what's needed at this stage of our season.

Well said that man!
 
How anyone can call him shite and give him dogs abuse, given the state of our other midfield options completely baffles me! The lad's decent, always gives 100% and is always trying to make things happen. Maybe's it's cos he's a local lad - we all know how our fans, bizarrely, almost always seem like they want local lads to fail at our club. George Honeyman is the least of our worries atm.

I would like to state for the record I posted this before the match against Burton.

Yes he has scored a couple of goals this season, as it stands now is it 2 or 3 for the season?

I'm not his biggest fan, but he's got 4 this season, which makes our joint-second top scorer this season behind Grabban. Honeyman hasn't started all of the games either, he's been a sub on 5 or 6 occasions.
