Oh come on, he ran the show for them, he was all over the place and always available, he’s still a very good player.

He’s a very good player, but I thought he was fairly anonymous today. As were most of their side.

He bossed the first half as Les adjusted to the pace. Completely different second half, hardly saw him

He was alright first half. Second half, pretty anonymous. Not good at all for our second goal.

He was excellent, but after the first few minutes when they definitely could have scored, Sunderland created nothing. Flattered to deceive!

Good first half but massively struggled in the second.

I was surprised at his performance. In the first half has passed it right out of play with nobody anywhere near it, and then straight to Hannibal on the half way line when it was a simple pass to his mate. He did get on the ball a lot on the first half though and you felt he was controlling play. In the second half he was almost anonymous after we’d started playing with more intensity.

Some on here must have been watching a different bloke to me and a number of Sunderland fans. If we had a player sat doing nothing creative and ‘making himself available’ 😂 some would be having a go.

Forget him. Did they even have a striker on the pitch ? Very poor team

I thought he played very well for them today against a better team. He'll be important for them this season and will only grow into the team.

I might sound like a t*at, but I thought he did ok for them.
The most invisible for me was our own Jacob Bruun Larsen.

Yes he chipped in to help Walker at the back, but he was non existent in the Sunderland half.

Seen enough in two games to know Tchaouma should be starting

He looked a real player when he came on today.
