Mayenda better than Isidor


Good to have options over a 46 game season. Would still add another in the summer as we need more threat off the bench in certain games.

Delighted with the progress of Mayenda, seems like a popular lad in the dressing room as well.
Hopefully we'll see our 'another' before the end of the season.
 
He's made some fantastic development this season. I'd like it not to be Mayenda or Isidor, I think they compliment eachother really well. Particularly with Mayenda playing off Isidor.
 
Isidor is a far better footballer and has better football brain than mayenda
He's also five years older
Mayenda can move right if Roberts is out. Though I do like them both playing centrally at home, and it's hardly much different to how we're playing anyway, with Browne/Rigg so high.


We practically play in a 442 now.
We certainly were today after Wilson came on.

What a shite thread

Both are class assets vital in picking up points and have played well together
 
Not wanting to be negative, because he doing a fine job, but as you mention it, I think touch is something that he might be looking to improve on.
Its got loads better in a short space of time. I was critical of him/it earlier in season but he was alot more composed today in particular. Looks rapid
 
People may agree or disagree and that’s fine and can see the argument to be fair.

Overall I think Mayenda is a better all round player. Gets miles more involved in the game. Better touch, better hold up play. Brave when running one on one with defenders. Fast. Just needs polishing up in front of goal and get his composure which will come with more game time.

Mayenda I know misses chances and that but he’s a player than whether he’s good or bad gets at least 2 good opportunities to score.

it looks like he will probs only play 4-3-3 but I would seriously start Mayenda and bring Isidor on.

This is not a dig at Isidor who I really like . Seems a top fella and is a really good finisher.
You're right about involvement. Wilson has minimal touches but does score. Mayenda seems to be more involved in build up play too
 
Hopefully we'll see our 'another' before the end of the season.
Danns? Imagine he has time to come good and is unplayable in the run in and play offs.....if that happens I will take my hat off and apologise to the genius Speakman!
 
We declined to shell out millions for Tom Cannon.
Cannon has played loads more mins so 9 goals to Mayenda's 7 is not too surprising.

But ...

Goals per 90: Cannon 0.36 Mayenda 0.39
Goal conversion: Cannon 14% Mayenda 16%
Shot Accuracy: Cannon 49% Mayenda 51%
Assists: Cannon 2 Mayenda 5

BBC stats.
Mayenda has played 11th most minutes in the Sunderland squad.

Plus Mayenda is much faster and much stronger than Cannon. I bet nobody would swap them.

Doubt we were ever interested in him. Hugely overpriced which is not the club's recent transfer history.

It's about buying the right players, not just pissing money up against the wall.
