| A performance built around a very sharp midfield 06:20 - Feb 25 with 817 views | muccletonjoe | Both Matusiwa and Neil bossed the exchanges and then we had Nunez at the very top of his game in front of them taking the M.O.M award. The Egeli goal will have helped his confidence as was seen after he scored it, let's hope the same applies to Hirst after his chest in for the second. We kept the intensity going for almost the entire game last night, and with the return of Philogene imminent , a return to form would be very timely indeed looking at the march fixture list. Not least because I have a meal in sir Bobby Robson suite with Johnny wark coming up against Leicester by way of a retirement present from the wife and kids. |  | | |  |

Would love to see Egeli mix it up a bit and go outside rather than in but to be fair his shotting accuracy was best out of anyone's last night. |  |

| A performance built around a very sharp midfield on 08:58 - Feb 25 with 391 views | norfsufblue | Agreed...posted this late last night on a similar vein.. Azor Matusiwa, Love the fact that every game he now seems to be driving forward more and more. Think tonight was his most positive attacking performance and may be attributable to having the solid Dan Neil alongside him. We also seemed to get a few more "Morsy" pivots from him out from Walton [Post edited 25 Feb 8:59]

He hardly put a foot wrong when in possession and you could see him pointing and organising. He also had the knowledge just to drop in to that left back slot at times when Greaves was pushing on. Hopefully that is the start of him becoming a regular in the middle for us. |  | |  |
| A performance built around a very sharp midfield on 09:09 - Feb 25 with 323 views | FrimleyBlue | I think the only thing i'd maybe like to see is during that 5-10 spell when teams have changed shape or changed style of press as watford did in the 2nd half, we were on the ropes a bit, i'd perhaps like to see us get back to the chaplin days of a player going down and KM being able to have a chat.. We seem to try and continue playing the same way and we were during that 10 minutes finding ourselves defending alot of quick watford play and alot of balls going out for corners, throws etc and we were under the cosh a bit. |  |

We just need a "I was there when Skuse scored" thunderb@stard type moment now [Post edited 25 Feb 9:34]

Agree. He's too good to sit on the bench and you assume it was just a fitness/familiarity thing for him until this point. Captained Sunderland to promotion and, no disrespect to Taylor, he is a significant upgrade on him next to Matusiwa |  | |  |
