Amazing mate... this team will be the death of us all !
We totally bossed that game, i was calling for Rothwell and Pascal from half way through the first half, Gruev was offering us very little, we didn't need his defensive game. We needed Rothwell to create something and his excellent set piece delivery. Pascal also is our best threat in the air by a distance, he just has that instinct and power. He's really turning out to be a very good player.
Sunderland best team to come to Elland Rd all season, i said a few days ago on here i fancy them to get promotion via the playoffs and i hope they do. They played some nice stuff and were very brave. Isadoor is a good striker, fast and powerful and can finish. Le Fee has some prem quality to him and in the main they defended well. We did very well to win that one and i dare say, the team last season would have lost that, as the midfield wasn't creative enough.
Takes the pressure off Monday now away at Sheff U. A point will do nicely, anything else is a bonus. But we have nothing to fear there if we play our game. Be interesting to see if he starts Gruev again. Personally i'd go Pascal and CB as set pieces again could be a factor, and Ampadu into midfield (thought he looked much better there last night when Farke moved him) with Rothwell to come on.. it's a real tricky one though as Rothwell looked superb.
