Nordi Mukiele

Lebris likes Alderete.

I go back to the end of last season, That two on screen, Mukiele and Alderete, were our best, in my opinion, our best centre-half partnership.

And as long as Mukiele recovers from his karate chop that Luke gave him, I think he'll be back in the team without a shadow.

This isn't a team I would pick.

This is a team I think Libris will

There's no doubt about that.

But Sunderland, though, I mean, you had those naughty Mukiele comments, very strong comments recently saying that maybe Sunderland have gone into the season being a bit too arrogant.

And I mean, look, that's what he's saying.

again this season it is all to play for down the bottom and you know you look at the teams down there okay you expect Manchester United and Spurs to kind of get out of it even if Manchester United like I don't think they're going to get relegated even though they've been piss poor because they'll bring in Conte or they'll bring in somebody they can do that they've always got that button to press What does the button

Thomas Asante, I talked about him last week, just a guy who's getting a lot of minutes right now.

Sunderland, Mukiele is the question injury-wise.

Thomas Meunier actually did return from his injury midweek.

I don't know if it's going to be enough for him to start again.

At Bayern Munich, it kind of changed a little bit, as I mentioned, but the focus there was on width, I think.

So, you know, at Leipzig, you had wingbacks in Angelino and Mukiele.

At Bayern Munich, Thomas Müller would come inside and then there's Leroy Sane and Alphonso Davies down the left.

So flexibility is there, for sure.

It goes in.

Yeah, there's another one in which the ball goes into the box and I think it's Mukiele, backheels it straight at David Rye.

He just needs to lay it to Siddiqui and he's got a shot and it's going to be like a, I don't know, a 0.6 XG chance.

Against Leeds, different day, we could have drawn that game.

Some of our players decided to try and have long shots.

Like Mukiele tried to ping one in from 40 yards into the wind.

I was like...

got it like good on you mate yeah of all the times like we our team are accused a lot of not shooting and then you chose this game to have speculative efforts from the edge of the area when the wind was like blown into the sort of west stand so it was really strange wind didn't really benefit anyone at any time
