| Decent second half at the SOL 21:40 - Sep 12 with 891 views | Joey_Joe_Joe_Junior | I can’t see these lot being down there to be honest. Missed a pen and then Bruno put one in the top coroner. They have gone toe to toe and look solid. Palace and Fulham and maybe a surprise one much more likely to be in the mix in the bottom 5. Early days of course. |  |

| Decent second half at the SOL on 21:44 - Sep 12 with 849 views | burnbudgiesburn | You just never know do you, but they have some good players. Puts our win against them in perspective, feel like a few glossing over it because we've played them in lower leagues recently. Always thought we just need to do our own thing and get to 38-40 points and you roll the dice from there. Unlucky if you go down regardless of who is down there. |  | |  |

Glad we had a proper go at them on the opening day when they were a few light at the back. Sadiki is excellent next to Xhaka and the defender and keeper recruitment was very good last summer. Great result to beat them. |  |

| Decent second half at the SOL on 21:48 - Sep 12 with 805 views | unstableblue | Can’t see Sunderland being in trouble, show what a massive 3 points on the opening day that was. Have a feeling it’s going to a be a season when some surprise teams are going to be down there. Sadly I don’t think Fulham and Palace are poor teams. This is going to be a scrap. 6 points already from non-top-six teams is massive |  |

Going to need to win 8-9 at home then find some results like today across the season when the chances present themselves. |  |

| Decent second half at the SOL on 23:00 - Sep 12 with 589 views | Churchman | They will be ok. They do have Euro commitments and rely an awful lot on Xhaka and Brobbey, which is a danger but lower mid table is my prediction. Very early days. |  | |  |

Disagree with that I don’t only on Brobbey. Got quality all over the pitch. |  |

Le Fee is a terrific player and yes, they do have a lot of quality players, including the keeper, but the spine of the midfield and forwards is X and B for me. Regardless, they’ll do ok and what fantastic job Le Bris has done. He comes across well too |  | |  |

Yes he is for sure the story there, Le Fee came on loan from Roma in the championship because he had worked with Le Bris in France. That last summer window was unreal really some of the players they got from USG and elsewhere on the continent will be worth double now if not more. Hopefully with Enciso, Emersonn and Outtarra we will be saying very similar. |  |
