Sunderland Ratings

Not been on here for a while.

Felt a need to post today, after going to my first match in nearly ten months, because of work commitments.

Forster 8

Clyne 10

Fonte 8

Alderweireld 8

Bertrand 8

Cork 8

Schneiderlin 9

Davis 8

Tadic 8

Long 8

Pellè 9

 

I would mark Tadic a little higher - just seems to be a goal creator machine

 

Tadic MOTM. He was sensational today.

Forster 7
Clyne 8
Toby 7
Fonte 7
Bertrand 8
Morgan 9
Cork 9
Davis 8
Tadic 10
Long 7
Pelle 9

Subs:

Vic 8
Mane 8
Mayuka 7

 

4 assists and 1 goal. Sensational from Tadic.

Schneiderlin was serene in midfield. Everyone else was just 9.2/10

 

I am turning Tadic up to 11.

 

Morgan got the assist for the first goal. Davis got another, can't remember who got the others.

 

Everyone deserves at least an 8.

Tadic a 10. Superb.

 

Forster can't get an 8 - he had nothing to do!

 

I want at least an 8 for Vergini's finish. The rest can suck me balls.

Congratulations on a fantastic performance, I hope yous all enjoy your night. Koeman is doing a sterling job

 

Nice to see you've still got a sense of humour.

 

Seems strange that we win 8-0 and yet I'm not going to award any 10s. And just the one 9, to Tadic.

8s across the board elsewhere.

Lovren, Lallana, Rickie, Shaw. Yeah, I'm quite happy with Toby, Tadic, Pelle and Bertrand thanks. Bertrand in particular - unlike the £30m kid, this guy can actually score and assist!

 

The two fullbacks deserve a special mention too, they are crucial to the way we play, offering width and making intelligent forward runs at the right time.

 

I thought Forster was a bit shaky today and while I think he is decent I am still not convinced he is as good a quality signing as the others (except Long).

 

I agree with this. He's not convinced me just yet, but there's time for him to have his moment.

 

Yeah, I thought Forster was a bit hit-or-miss today. The CB defense was also a little sketchy at times in the first half. Long was Long-ish again, working hard and keeping the defense occupied to some extent but not presenting enough of a direct threat himself. Not like anyone was remotely close to terrible or that it mattered. But I guess 7's for those guys.

Tadic would be my MOTM, which I guess makes him a 9 or 10. 8's or 9's for everyone else.

 

He made two awful clearances and and one magnificent pass in the 2nd half.

 

Which led to one of the goals

 

10 for Tadic and Pelle
9 for the full backs
8s for everyone not mentioned above or below
7 for Forster, Long and Mayuka

 

Every one of those players, incredibly, is an improvement on his predecessor.

 

Was i at the same match? Not being a pessimist but i think we could have played better/have played better, we just got lucky on some of the goals. Granted Tadic and Pelle had a blinder but i think more realistic ratings would be 8 for fullbacks and pelle 9 for tadic and 7 for everyone else (maybe a 6 for forster, and mayuka) We did play well but pelle missed a couple of good chances and we still looked a bit ropey at the back. Any improvement on an 8-0 is welcome!
