TEAM APPLYING FOR: Sunderland


Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your ...

Sunderland 2 - 1 Crystal Palace

A tough physical game where we wrestled our way to the top, even though we had the bulk of the chances they still were able to put one away. When you've got the Ferrari's like Savinho and Ouattara in the garage, there's always a chance players like that can run the ...

Aston Villa 2 - 2 Monterrey

We played with so much more passion and vigor this game, we were the best side when Villa weren't playing direct and vertical; the moment they decided to just get at us they showed there isn't a team in the world that can stop them right now. To give away the equaliser ...

Darlington 3 - 0 Sunderland U23

In my brain I had this grand plan of overloading their low block and defeating their approach of trying to hit us on the break. I didn't think for a second - even after talking up National League sides - that they'd really try to pass through us, I thought they'd ...

I'll PM you.

Aston Villa - Monterrey

We must improve against this English side. The fans demand it and we must represent our shirt and our people proudly. We will give it our all and not be left wondering in this match.

Darlington - Sunderland U23s

I keep talking up the benefits of our young players playing against the men of the National League, I just think it's great for their development. These are physical games that help teach what it is to have a professional career. And it's a good opportunity for us to ...

Sunderland v Crystal Palace

Key home game for us if we want to be pressing on to qualify from the group. Aertssen will be carefully monitored as he's close to returning to action but no need to rush him back. Our form is good and we were able to do the business against Manchester United on the ...

Manchester United U23 1 - 2 Sunderland U23

In control for the game but unlike their seniors they gave us a scare even though the stats say it was pretty one-sided. Moore got man of the match for us, for his one goal. I'm confused though, it's a great game for him and I was complaining about our ...

Manchester United 0 - 3 Sunderland

Eased past a Manchester United side that on paper should be well past us. Reflects their football department's struggles right now that we were so dominant but telling that they had a good penalty shout waved off even with very little of the ball. Shows that ...
