π Huge #SAFC win. Incredible defensive effort & hugely impressive Melker Ellborg debut. Squad stretched to limit but brilliant response to three straight defeats with four points on the road to take tally to 40 for the season. Travelling fans buoyantπ΅
www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/259051...
βΈοΈ HT. Entertaining the first half was not. But organised #SAFC have frustrated #LUFC & home supporters. Particularly when Melker Ellborg went down for treatment and Sunderland players rushed over for instructions from RLB. 'What the f**k is going on', chanted the home fans. 0-0.

Massive for #Boro. Brilliant response to last week's frustrations and rivals all winning. Puts pressure back on the chasers. Could be big goal and moment for Strelec. 51 points from 51 after scoring first goal is quite remarkable.

βΈοΈ Howe recognised Woltemade in midfield and Joelinton on left wasn't working and changed it after half hour. Within two minutes #NUFC were level but two minutes later Nick Pope gifted Everton a second goal. Newcastle have been poor. 1-2.
You're right. The level of detail is great. I can see sometimes the frustration at the questions we ask that are clearly at such a basic level for him π
I asked him whether he'd done that on his day off and he said 'I don't have days off' π
In an ideal world, Kim Hellberg says he'd have tried to manage Adilson Malanda's game-time as defender adapted to life at #Boro
