@CRVisuals_ You can only start one though and if Brobbey stays fit then whoever the backup is just won’t play enough to justify the money spent

@CRVisuals_ Wouldn’t be spending that kind of money on a striker when we have Brobbey already. Need a right winger

@RamseySAFC @CRVisuals_ What would the point have been in the Guiu loan if we were planning to sign Brobbey anyway?

@D_N__ @CRVisuals_ This isn’t actually true. We most likely would have signed him either way.

One of those sliding door moments for us

@shanehagan24 Keep him on the left and can see him getting over 10 g/a next season

@vinny_brand Can’t stop laughing watching their number 28. He’s tracking back like he’s the ref

think livramento has given that woltemade OG a run for its money there

@UnderTheLight73 If he improves his positioning and commanding then we’ve got another top goalie. Most of it will come with confidence you’d imagine, think the end of the game yesterday showed that

Another thing about ellborg which will get coached into him. He seems to get his body position wrong when receiving a pass. He’s a bit square. Which means he controls the ball before shifting it out of his feet, so he has to take an extra touch. Coachable for sure. #SAFC

@JamieSAFCC @UnderTheLight73 His general play for a defender is just so rash and last-ditch. Love him as a person but think it’s type to part ways in the summer

I thought Luke O’Nien, mistake aside where he slipped, had a good game yesterday. I’m still standing the same on Ellborg, currently looks slow when distributing the ball, but as a shot stopping keeper looks pretty good, almost kept Gordon’s out. Easy to forget his age. #SAFC

@vinny_brand Is that real?

@CRVisuals_ Probably our best performance this season all things considered. Created plenty of chances and defended well bar one ridiculous error

Also really encouraging to see we can create a lot of chances. Even more surprised to see us score rebounds haha I’m on cloud 9 man. Enzo le fee the magician too coming on and getting us that chance

@CRVisuals_ Been quite good aswell. O’Nien has to go off like, don’t care who comes on

Just a really daft way to concede like. So frustrating

@CRVisuals_ How much do you reckon they’d want for him? £45m?

@D_N__ He won’t be starting for long. Off form, fans losing interest in him. Plenty of players gave up CL last summer to sign for us. He also has history too.

How I wish we would re-sign him next season

@CRVisuals_ I mean he’s starting for the biggest club in the country and probably going to be playing in the champions league next season. Why would he come here

@D_N__ Why not?

@Capt_Fishpaste The game really shouldn't have been stopped at all. He goes down like a fairy

It was a head injury but not a foul or anything. Ref should've stopped the game but you can forgive him for not seeing it. Just one of many freaks things that went against #SAFC on that one.

@vinny_brand We got some bargains in the summer but it’s very sunderland that the £30m record signing is useless

@UnderTheLight73 Do agree but can you really blame the system that much when your record signing does that? It’s not even like it’s his weak foot

One of the biggest issue for me. We focus on wide triangles, which in turn can be effective play. But the movement after the fact isn’t great. This doesn’t come from a triangle but we win the ball on the counter and turn Brighton around Watch as the ball goes from Xhaka to Diarra. No attempt from anyone other than Brobbey to get into or crash the box. Yes Diarra makes a mistake in the end. Talbi arrived very late slowly half way to the very back post, that run isn’t going to be of use at any point he’s marked no attempt to get free. Nobody crashing the edge. Just Brobbey, alone in the box again. There was one moment yesterday too Diarra played the ball in behind to Sadiki and he rightly played the ball back to the edge of the box for someone crashing (think ELF goal against Palace) but nobody made that run. It’s definitely an area we can improve and often why our crosses seem to go no where #SAFC

@GavSAFC89 I’d give him until the summer just because of the lack of other manager options. Still think he’s massively over performed with us but can’t defend it at the moment

Whether people want to admit or not but manager is on the final straw. Lose convincingly on Sunday and he is gone IMO

@JDunn1973 @Philip_RJ89 I like Brobbey and he’s a good striker but I don’t see it with Diarra at all. Would be really surprised if he lives up to his price tag

@Philip_RJ89 Brobbey and Diarra will both my huge players for us next season, both had bad injuries which have interrupted the season, but the younger fans won’t care about that and will just call them shite

At the risk of being lynched, Habib Diarra’s current form isn’t a massive surprise to me. Had a feeling it would be a very tough season for him after the injury interruption. Still think there’s a player there — and I don’t mind the club backing him at all. #SAFC
