I will say, not a promising sign for Sunderland, nothing ball into the box and neither defender got near Moore.

I think Sheff Utd have lost something like their last 9 visits to Wembley before today, so that's not a promising sign for them either.

 

[meeesh]

Looks in pain that lad

 

[Norbert D]

wtf happened to the Sunderland player ?

 

[skillman]

Gutting for O’Nien

Think that changes today, got a soft spot for Sunderland but Sheff United have looked good in the last couple of weeks.

wtf happened to the Sunderland player ?

Dislocated shoulder by the looks of it

 

[MCFC1993]

wtf happened to the Sunderland player ?

Landed funny and dislocated his shoulder would be my guess.

 

[Claytop]

Guessing they were trying to pop it back into place but wasn’t having it.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Shame about O'nien. Looks fucked the lad. That'll fuck Sunderlands plans right up unfortunately.

 

[MCFC1993]

Kieffer Moore winning every long ball.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Kieffer Moore winning every long ball.

He did against Bristol city too perhaps he could give Erling a few pointers

Hope Sunderland win purely for the Aguerro day Poznan.

 

[Zabbasbeard]

Feel for the lad O'Nien. Looked incredibly painful.

 

[hogismuir]

Hope Sunderland win purely for the Aguerro day Poznan.

Me too, but right now Sheffield United look miles better. Hopefully Sunderland can play themselves into the game. Look so nervous.

Ball retention is really poor at this level. As we saw last week, that doesn't always matter in one-off games, but over the course of a Premier League season teams like this eventually get worn down. It's less about possession and more about being able to retain the ball under pressure and in tight spaces. If you can't do that well in the Prem then you're cooked.

 

[MCFC1993]

Just noticed the other Bellingham isn't in the Madrid squad, bet he's at Wembley then, so there's a downside if Sunderland win.

 

[Wanderingwolf]

Sunderland look so nervous hopefully they settle.

That's what really pissed me off about Shearer's unprofessional and biased commentary in the Cup final. He kept banging on about how possession is irrelevant. Yes you tool, in a one off game that can be the case. But over the last 8 seasons Pep's possession game is the very reason we've dominated the Prem. Shearer pissed me off as much as our performance....
