so much quallity. only mrslier worries me

Great performance, Solomon looks a great signing.

Good to see Joseph get off the mark.

Yeah Meslier a worry like always.

Solomon looks different class at this level. Very good performance all round. Tanaka looked good when he came on, looks clsss on the ball.

Much needed win. Sunderland have started like house on fire.. 4 wins from 4.

RIP Sol Bamba. Only 39

Might not be such a bad transfer window for us. Yes some big names have gone out, but the balance of the squad may be better. The pivotal signing could be the Jap. If he’s a player that carries the ball forward from midfield that should open up gaps further up the field. Too many passes and not enough penetration last season even from the likes of Rutter and Summerville. I’m not too disheartened at this stage.

me neither. I think rutter was a liability at times.

He certainly lost possession in some dangerous areas for us. Was a real luxury player, but not always a luxury we could afford.

Classic Rutter at the weekend given a free header on goal and I think it either hits his shoulder or side of his body after he mistimed his jump and the chance goes begging.

The athletic nature of this squad will be far too much for 90% of the sides in this league. Given their inability to score from set pieces they just need to be a bit more decisive in front goal i.e. less touches.

Didnt see it but i did hear Brighton fans were livid. He won't get the same grace and amount of chances he got in the Championship.. Prem is ruthless as we all know.

I was never sure he was premier league quality. I hope he does well but I have my doubts

If we get back up there we need to be bloody good at moving that ball from back to the front... watched Brentford muller Southampton at the weekend and Burnley suffered the same fate last season.. same for Leicester so far.. tough tough school

Totally agree and whilst it`s the dream to get to the PL you have to be very wise in who you bring in.
I too am not convinced Rutter and even Sinistera will make it in the PL but you never know.
Not too many teams get promoted and stay in the PL for long.
I have to say Brentford are very much the exception to the rule on what is probably a very tight budget compared to others.

Extremely well coached and well run club Brentford. They've just let go their best ever striker and not even blinked...

Plenty of justified outrage on social media this morning, regarding Leicester club potentially avoiding fines for misdemeanours.
