"We have very big players, young players Bergvall, Archie Gray, Mathys Tel, Xavi Simons, but we have older players that are important like Van de Ven. Van de Ven is a crucial player for me like Romero, like Porro, like Solanke.
I want to see again the same Gallagher I loved in Chelsea time. And I think I am lucky because I have a big confidence in my players and their qualities.
For me, my target is to help them to play well and to enjoy with the ball because their characteristics are very clear for me."

I’m not sure which is worse, watching them on TV or in person on the pitch.
Would be a miracle if he got Gallagher playing well
Well, there goes the meltdowns over De Zerbi not liking Gallagher.
He gets us playing good football again. We can’t compete with the other teams in terms of quality of signing etc so I will take attractive football.
“Older players like Van de Ven.”
He’s 24. Lol. If I got called old at 24 I’d still be crying now.
We have good players and I hope RDZ is the right guy to put them back on track.
Hopefully the Sarr omission was just an oversight and not a glimpse into his future under RDZ. I still think he has a bright future.
I agree I’ve never been super down on our squad like I think many have been, but also agree they’ve been poorly utilized and underperforming. The Ange sacking, the dire football, they lost form and confidence VERY quickly from both and then add in injuries, the lack of confidence was compounded with fatigue and feeling like your in a never ending slide.
We have really good players, but of course it’s key they receive good direction, and just because they’re good players doesn’t mean they automatically work with other good players, you need the manager to direct them. Frank just wasn’t getting to the players. We REALLY need this summer (still in Prem) and to fire Vinai and Johan, get RDZ the key players he needs in our problem areas, and get a fresh, clean start.
Fuck me though, at least he’s positive about our players and not saying we’re fucking shite
So, who did he not mention from our relevant players? GKs, Sarr, Udogie, Spence, Richy, RKM.
Can be just a case of not being able to mention everybody quickly but can also show some sign of who he respects.
We have like the tenth best squad in the league we shouldn’t be in this situation at all
Interesting he shouted RKM out. He was such a big name early on and has just been on a downward decline for years. Would love for this guy to turn him into what people thought he’d become.
the gaffer is nailing it so far.
Sunderland 1 – 2 Tottenham Hotspur
fuck it we ball. COYS, Daniel
