The lads are working interlocking and just seem to know where teammates are almost spooky. A superb displays from front to back.

Can't believe this channel has less than 2 k subs. The Football Echo used to be the best way to get a comprehensive review not long after the final whistle.. Now everyday fans have youtube channels with more subs. ( deserved subs at that!) I think Phil and James provide excellent content with level- headed analysis. Like, subscribe and spread the word! The Echo is a part of our footballing history. Who is old enough to remember, the front page proclaiming, ' THEY'VE DONE IT!' ? 😉❤️🤍73❤️🤍🌟

Bit off topic, but can you please tell me where you got your fleece from please? The other half really likes it! Thanks 🙏

Long long way to go yet boys. Keep the faith

Older heads like myself have seen alot before but we deserve to be at the top of the league.Got through some tough games of late but produced the quality finishes to win the games with today being no exception!From what I've seen of the highlights,some lovely link up play.I know we've got back up but I hope the Isidor is not serious. His movement and goal today was exceptional!!!!

We set out to control the game and Neil shines. Not a coincidence.

This week the boys stood up ..to all tests Then they scored 5 fabulous goals

Just want to add this… the two quality passes one cross from Trai and the curled over the top ball from Dan Neil .. these were great crosses .. but by no means easy converts they were superb finishes .. by tall athletic players who love playing for Sunderland

Hi Phil - Perfect end to a complete a perfect week. 3 different types of opposition dealt with in 6 days - players definitely deserve their 2 days for recovery. I think automatic promotion is on. Transfermarkt rates our squad as 4th highest value in Championship with Luton only 1m higher. We killed off their mini recovery midweek, so we're effectively 3rd valued now. That leaves Leeds & Burnley ahead with values based on PL player valuations, but we've got the best manager who has our talented team playing optimally while improving them with his coaching/strategy/tactics at the same time . As long as we don't get too many injuries, we should be able to cope and I believe KLD will back RLB in winter window to strengthen if/where needed. Game on - let's enjoy it. On a separate note - any idea why SAFC website now has a blue theme? It looks strange. Cheers. Jim

How long is jenson seelt out for ?? Not heard anything recently

Thanks for this exchange Phil - you captured the heartfelt feelings of all us Sunderland devotees.

Jobe was absolutely sensational today

We usually mess these games up Phil, pleased we have moved forward. Congrats to everyone concerned.

Cheers phil. Maybe a question for the next roker roar vid but what’s your opinion on what Safc do if we’re still top 2 come January ? Do they go for it and try and bring signings in to gain promotion or stick with the current policy of bringing young players with potential ? Thanks

They grow up today as a team.

Keep up the good work, Phil.

Leeds will win the league when we're sat top and three points clear?? Atrocious comment. 🤮

We've still got a fair bit of midfield cover with Aleksic, and to a degree Aouchiche. Always could switch to 4-4-2 as well. That was a horrible game to watch with constant route one football by Luton, and because of the size of the pitch, there's not much space, so the penalty area was very congested. Great resilience shown by the Lads 👍

Great win. League one all over again. Dreadful stuff, but we rose to the aerial bombardment.

Last 3 games if we picked up 1 or 2 points we couldn’t really complain. The fact we picked up 7 is a testament to the team spirit and the fact we now have players who can score with odd half chances. That tends to be difference between teams who go up and those who don’t

Hi Phil, absolutely our best win of the season no doubt about it. Two cracking goals and to be fair even the Luton goal was a good one. Patto was good and was Mepham and Luke. Let’s not let ourselves down on Saturday.

Luton have just not adapted from 2 seasons ago its just lump it up & intimidate the opposition with the big guys !!!! O.k. it was never a classic !!!but we overcame the pressure & found them out with 2 gr8 goals from Chris & Romaine bring on Oxford 😊😊😊

We have played better teams than Luton 😂

I can only see Sunderland improving and gaining more momentum as the season progresses. As players come back from injury, depth of squad deepens and the January transfer window looms, I feel very confident of an automatic place at present This team is a seriously formidable unit with a very intelligent, forward planning manager. I'm fancying a bet on our chances right now Phil ❤🤍

Jobe, O'Nien, Rigg and Hume are all on 4 cards

if you have every Luton player instructed to launch the ball into the opponents box every time they get it, then the majority of the game will be paid in the opponents half. Having said that this is Tony Pulis tactics from years ago, I really did hope it had died out by now but no, Luton still use hoofball

How far is Ballard away from a return?

Phil you mentioned the January window, there’s stories of KLD telling Sunderland fans at Euston station after the Watford game they going to spend big in January. Have you heard anything to the contrary? One thing stood out last night for me was the distance of Patterson’s kicking. Could we utilise that better and mixing our play up? The yellow cards has me concerned, do we limit the risk by playing either Rigg or Jobe behind Isidore, taking them out of the equation? We know the league has its shithousery teams we can’t drop them so utilise them in a different role/position.

Would he not just play Aleksic if they both got booked with Browne in too

Best game of the season for me, too. Total character. Basically, 100 minutes of near constant pressure and Kenilworth does not suit this Sunlun side. But they ground it out. This is what winners do. When did we last see a Sunlun side do this?

Biggest win of the season by a mile. I fully expected us to get bullied yesterday, so it was a very pleasant surprise.

Hi Phil - This game showed we have steel and determination as well as very skilful players. RLB clearly sees benefits in using same players regularly to improve team understanding. With a doctorate in sport physiology and biomechanics from Rennes University, I think he'll rotate when necessary.

You always defend Neil - gave the ball away in dangerous positions, missed an early opportunity and defended like an Under 8s for Luton goal. Needs to step up or be dropped!

Great reviews - keep it up. Perhaps Phil can try to reduce the number of 'likes' in a sentence.

In a short video that was shot during the match a young Hull fan's reaction to the goal was to comment " Not good enough defensively", four times in a row. Clearly, the coach's attempt to deflect attention away from his totally inept setup at a corner wasn't going to fool this lad. After being pragmatic in the first half, probably a reaction to the Norwich result he then reverted to kamikaze football at the corner.If a coach's setup doesn't allow a player to try and create space on the edge of the opposition box because he hasn't left a player to cover a break then he carries the can.

I think the player in the weong for our goal was the one who passed it at the Ref. He saw him there, even if the Ref moved the maximum he could it would be tricky for his teammate

Mepham is quite clearly a good Premier League player playing in a Division below him. It wouldn't surprise me if Bournemouth are starting him again next Season as they have the option to extend his deal. I don't know why they wouldn't extend it and at least get an alright transfer tbh

Thanks lads!! Is it too early to talk about January?

Keep it up LADS 😎

Cheers Gents

The ball didn't hit the referee hence why it was play on hull dont have a case

Nothing controversial at all about the game ref didn't do anything to assist in the goal lead up . The so called hand ball,was ball to hand as it came over his shoulder and hit his arm . 👍🤔

Thanks very much Phil, that is my fear is Mepham keeps doing so well and we don't go up, we won't be able to compete with a low PL side's offer for him because that's clearly his level.

What made this game controversial apart from that near hand ball?

There was zero legit complaint about the goal. Their player stood behind the ref, the ref got out of the way and never touched it. Their player had the ball fully under control and could have played it anywhere but chose to take on Neil and lost it. Their manager was a disgrace moaning about it the way he did ! He was covering up for the fact his player lost possession and then they failed to deal with the break The handball could definitely have been given though.

A pragmatic first half Hull made it difficult and policed Mundle very well but Roberts repeatedly had time and space. Earlier in the season he went down the outside and used his right foot more than he had in the previous two seasons. In the first half that was crying out for him to do that at least on occasion, he didn't have the nous to do that. skilled but limited player. He has to grow.. Dan Neil gets an assist from just outside his own box.very neat trick.

Any ideas why this goal was 'controversial' lol

Yes definitely want to see more thank you

Great video mate, keep them coming! Always interesting 👍

This is how more and more people are consuming news nowadays, Phil, so definitely keep doing videos like this.
