Match Thread | Sunderland vs. Manchester City (01/01/26)

[EdersonsSmiley]

Laughable really the state of Ake and Stones.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Who knew Sunderland haven't lost at home this season?

Just another record to be broken

 

[skillman]

Hope Josko has warmed up properly.

Feel for Ake, his body was never the most reliable but it seemed to have gotten worse.

 

[bridgeno1]

Shouldn't risk it IMHO

 

[stan bowles]

Ake stretched and now has to come off. Ridiculous.

 

[BuryBlue1977]

He’s fine

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

hang on, he's carrying on

 

[Chak19]

So much for resting gvardiol. Pep needs to start putting more faith in Khusanov

Yeah Khus shout not be getting benched for Ake or Stones at this point.

 

[levets]

That’s Ake done for a few weeks I fear. Ah maybe not!

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Crucial injury in the context of the palace cb

 

[TinFoilHat]

This might be the last time we see Baby Ruud on a City shirt.

 

[waspish]

What happens when you don’t play football one stretch and he is out! Seems Ake though thinks he can carry on

 

[I'm Blue]

Twisted his knee landing?

 

[skillman]

Not sure you should be trying to run off a knee injury!?

 

[HamannCheese]

Unlucky Ake. Forever injured and unfit. Heart goes out to him. Some bodies are not made for professional sport.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

He might be ok.

 

[dannyboiblue]

Looked like he grabbed the back of his knee really suprised if hes ok

 

[super_city_si]

Now he’s fine. WTF?

 

[ThreesKompany]

Looks like he is going to try and stay on. Hope he isn't pushing it.

Not sure why we started Nathan tonight if we're looking to offload, lovely lad but we needed to wrap him in cotton wool if we're selling
