😄🤦🏼‍♂️👏🏼👏🏼

Much better from #safc today. Intensity, tenacity & most importantly, cut out the defensive errors which have cost them significantly so far this season!
Ahoka was top drawer in the middle of the park & Brian Brobbey was a joke! There’s not a #EPL side that wouldn’t take him…

Copy…paste! 😐 #sundin #EuropaLeague

Those asking what i’d change:

I’d leave 2 up, split on the halfway line. (Fofana & Rigg for example). Op are going to keep 3 back to accommodate for them. This Leaves them 6 (+ taker) in & around the box. You’d still have 8 (6 markers & 2 zonal/free) to go and attack it. (+ GK)

This…

I’d be looking at something like this. Obviously, you have to factor in a few things: in-swinger/out-swinger, size of the opposition etc, but it gives them a dilemma defensively for the counter. Packing the 6yd box only causes more of an issue for both Roefs & the #safc players…

Co-comms for #pne v #sufc this evening. Preston currently sit bottom of the #eflchampionship and need to find some form under Graham Alexander sharpish. #theblades head to Deepdale off the back of Friday nights win over Wrexham and are looking to push up into the playoffs spots.

A lot of possession but done very little with it other than the one big chance for Brobbey. #safc have created their own problems defensively once again and #CCFC have punished them. Big second half needed…#EPL #COVSUN

The set up from the corner that leads to the goal…All 11 #SAFC players back in the 18yd box, 10 in the 6yd vs 4 Poznan players. When it’s contested, 3 Poznan players are free & waiting for the knock down. No one within 15 yards of the Scorer. Set pieces need looking at…#POZSUN

Never been a fan of bringing everyone back. Ball gets cleared and it’s coming straight back. A set up like this gives the opposition a dilemma and they’ll generally keep 3 back to deal with the counter. Poznan’s deepest outfield player was 30 yards from #SAFC goal last night..

Got away with one against #bhafc a couple weeks back just before HT. Overload at the far post & a free header which came back off the post, 3-4 Brighton players unmarked. Same again this evening…Set pieces play a big part in the outcome of games & #safc need to tighten up!

How open was that first 45 mins! 😟 much better from #safc in terms of energy and ball retention compared to Sundays outing at B’mouth. Created a fair few openings and moved it well. On the flip side, Poznan have also played through Sland too easy at times. #pozsun #EuropaLeague

That was a tough watch! From the first minute until the last, #SAFC were miles off it. Work rate, ball retention, decision making, all sub-standard.

Having both CF’s missing didn’t help, but first up, do your job individually. Too many simply weren’t at it… #BOUSUN #epl

Lively start from #Nufc pressing #Avfc high first 10 mins or so. since then, every time Villa have crossed the halfway line, Newcastle have been so open. Villa constantly driving at them with but haven’t made the most of their openings. Botman a very lucky man too!😧 #NEWAVL #epl

What a game of Football that was! #PSG ridiculous first half and worthy of the scoreline, but #MCFC could, and should, have scored about 8 second half there…😧🙁 👏🏼👏🏼 #UCL #MCIPSG

The Ref’s had an absolute shocker there! 😲😣 #WHUQPR #penalty #EFL

A great evening at the @BeaconofLight for the @SAFCFoL 25th anniversary awards dinner. A good catch up with a few of the former #safc lads. Well done to all of the Awards winners and to everyone involved at the foundation on a daily basis. 👏🏼👏🏼 #fol25 #sunderlandafc

🔴⚪ 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗔 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗨𝗣!

Great to welcome some familiar #SAFC faces as they helped hand out tonight's awards 🏆

How good are #bhafc btw. Scoring goals for fun and they’ve ran all over #arsenal there. It should’ve been about seven. 😟👏🏼👏🏼 #epl

Staggering that this is even a debate and that most people don’t know what’s what…🤨🤔

Volley: player to player on the full with no bounce.

Half-volley: ball’s struck on the rise immediately after bouncing.

This is neither. It’s just a bouncing ball that’s hit very well…👍🏼

People also throwing in ‘full volley’ and ‘first time volley’ now…🤨😟🤦🏼‍♂️
