Holden McGroin

Maybe he was getting mixed up with Helder (who was pretty decent).

Guess the poster who has too much time on their hands?

The UK loves an under dog story. i don’t think it’s anything personal against us.

As long as Liverpool stay in we’ll never win it.

He seems to be in the same category as Wilson for fitness. If they both could share games and stay fit it would work but inevitably one gets crocked which leads the other to play too much and also get crocked.

Love that. I had a Sunderland scout come to watch me when I was a young un. My Dads response: “ I hope you sign for them cos you’re shite”.

He definitely hasn’t been found out. He has had a couple of bad games (notably Brighton away where he was asked to play CB and then Forest when he clearly wasn’t match fit). He is in the one to upgrade bracket along with Miggy and Ciggy in the long term but he is always dependable. I’ve no issues with him as that’s where we are in our current trajectory.

I can only assume you also had a break from looking at a league table over Xmas I think you need to be more concerned with Man Utd, West Ham and Brightons fixture list.

Why? Are you thinking we are going to over take them?

yeah. If we to play two attacking full backs then we’d need a proper defensive 6.

He was fine yesterday. He is coming back from an injury so might take a few games to get back up to speed. He was part of very good defence last season.

He was unlucky Onion has a massive face as well. Although he nearly knocked him out which was almost worth a goal.

who the fuck is Joel Bland and where does he make his bullshit up from?

Dubravka even pulled his hand away from the one that clipped the top to the bar. It was never going in.

I’ve just looked him up. He is 25 this year. 😂

I’d heard their GK was decent. Turns out he is an overweight, brain-dead, chin dribbler. Basically a stereotypical Mackem.

my fav post in that thread: ”I've had a couple of texts today, one from a Liverpool fan and one from a Man City fan. Both of them said Ballard looked good.”

he hasn’t played that well this season (mainly due to injury) but still has 13 goals in 18 or 19 starts.

I think they all hope for a giant killing. There wasn’t much chance of that happening.

I did enjoy the game much more without VAR. I’d much rather on field officials got it wrong and we just carry on with life.

yeah I agree with that. We would have just controlled the game. Longstaff and Miley swapping helped but I’d give the young lad a rest. He is going to be quality. One for the future.
