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.

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
