He will be player of the year for Sunderland
He will have 10 assists this year
Seriously Zealem?
Hes outperforming guys in the scottish 2nd division? Isnt that quality of your local high school team?
Torres in his prime was better than RVP in his prime
Remember Torres is only 31. He scored like 75 goals for a mid table team in Spain. And 65 goals in 3.5 years at Liverpool.
Dont forget about him
If one game were enough to warrant this, I’d say yedlin has earned some minuets (whether rotating starts or simply subbing on) an Van Aanholt is playin his was to the bench. The left side of the attack was non existent and van a can seem overly confident and loses the ball or makes a very bad pass. Perhaps moving billy jones to the left and yedlin on the right would make sense —but since Man U is next maybe not… Lol
I just hope Yedlin sticks at right back, that’s where he can best exploit space.
Didn’t see the game but sounds like Yedlin played well today despite the result. Hopefully that translates into a spot in the lineup for the next league game.
good day for the yanks, Rubin and AJ with goals and Zelalem, Cameron and Yedlin with assists
hyndman got minutes. yay
yedlin EASILY could have had 2 assists today, he’s had his mistakes here and there but he’s showing well and hour in
And there is the assist. Overlapping run and nice cross…
Honestly, he’s been Sunderland’s best player today. Most dangerous going forward and only a few minor mistakes in defense/possession. Could have had 3 assists with good finishing.
RvP is overrated
To me its Suarez, Ibra and Lewandowski
LEWANDOWSKI has been the best striker in germany for years but i doubt the English media care
RVP to MLS soon? Word is he’s not happy at Fenerbahce, I could see maybe Orlando going for him in January.
Sounds possible at least. I’m sure there are clubs in Europe who would still have interest too.
I’m still waitin for Ibra…idc if he’s 40. Gimme just one ridic 55 yard volley goal and he’d be worth it lol
Zelalem with another assist
Yep, and he should have had another one. Beautiful stood up cross to the backpost for a free header gets put wide by his teammate.
i know it could be a threat etc but i love seeing a fan run around on the field, in the harmless fun sort of way
How would you tell a harmless fun person from a suicide bomber?
bad pass by yedlin in the 57′ then a good track back only to frustratingly foul sterling by the touchline
rubin scored too
Dear Cattermole,
please update your style of play and overall fashion style. both are dated and terrible…
I can’t believe he is just 27, I thought for sure he was at least 35
is he really? HA! that makes it funnier. he’s so retro…
i can’t see the game but from reading the play by play online Yedlin seems to be handling his own but my god is Sunderland horrible!!!!
lol pretty much but what else is new…?
Wait is Lewandowski on a hat trick?
He’s on a couple of them
He has a Glut of goals (5), 1 more would be a double hat trick.
To me Lewandowski is among the top 5 strikers in the world. But maybe its cause hes Polish he is underrated. Always among the top 3 goalscorers in Bundesliga for the past 4 years.
But he doesnt get the love Suarez or RVP or Ibrahimovic or Rooney gets.
I would take Ibra, RVP and Suarez over Lew ANY day. Rooney is a toss up (debatably)
no way on RVP, 3-4 years ago sure, but RVP hasnt been good for awhile now.
Fair enough. I guess I was thinking in terms of each player in their prime but I guess that’s not the topic at hand 🙂
This has to be the world record for fastest time for one player to score 5 goals. Incredible!
For what’s it worth…Deandre just saved it from being 5 to zip (bwhaha), with a great hustling goal line clearance.
yedlin with a tackle and goal line clearance, I’m cool with that
Yedlin just saved Sunderland from being 5-0
maybe if you weren’t on here blogging you might have scored that perfect cross i played to you. next time finish off my highlight!
Adam Johnson is NOT helping Yedlin defensively. he just stood there on that 4th goal
Adam Johnson is the biggest reason Sunderland sucks, he’ll blow 80 percent of Sunderland’s attacks by shooting from 35 yards out
tru but today he’s killing them defensively. what formation are they playing? it looks like they’re playing a 541 with yedlin as an RCB almost and AJ as the RWB. like Van A, Oshea, Coates, Yedlin, AJ… very weird lineup. just allowing for MCI to sneak in behind AJ since he refuses to play defense.
He is also a very selfish player if I recall.
Can’t believe I am watching this team again – stopped well before Jozy left and looks like they might be even worse. Yedlin looks fine so far and he might improve defensively after some time here.
difference with watching yedlin with sunderland (which i can’t bring myself to do yet) as opposed to jozy is that yedlin, being on defense, might get within 40 yards of the ball more than once a game.
lol, yea while trying to defend from the onslaught of the opposition after the midfield gave it away… 🙂
Btw how underrated is Lewandowski?
Lewandoski is not underrated.
He’s arguably one of the best strikers in the world and everyone who matters knows it.
looking for the double hat trick
If only Jozy stayed at Sunderland
This year hed be scoring
there will be a lot of US ‘fans’ that will see the 3-0 (if not worse) scoreline and think Yedlin played terribly. it has not been the case so far. two GK mistakes and a PK (that looked on the edge of the box) has been what has hurt Sunderland today. Yedlin looking alert, confident and active at the least
Are you saying, you don’t mind if Sunderland go down, if in the process, DeAndre plays regularly and plays great?
That Whining guy will disagree with you.
lol yup
Surely you must realize that Yedlin is a property of Tottenham, not Sunderland, and whether Sunderland goes down or not has no direct bearing on Yedlin’s future. Now, if he becomes the reason they go down, that’s a whole other story.
BRILLIANT chest to flick to beat kolorav by yedlin and put in a great cross that almost was put in the net
Great play by Deandre! Had the fans and the announcers cheering him.
then of course Sunderland gives up ANOTHER goal…i’ll tee you up here, DLOA:
hahah thanks: SUNDERLAND……L…….O……L…..
btw that goal was 100% on Mannone the GK, you can’t get beat near post like that.
(ahem) SUNDERLAND……….L…………O……………L…………………
ANNNND like that Sunderland gives up a penalty just a few minutes into the game (thankfully not Deandre). and so since someone has to say it:
Sunderland…LOL
i am the only person allowed to say that tho…
Yedlin in the starting 11.
under 10 minutes in, Sunderland down 1-0. Van Aanholt with a “penalty” on Navas (looked to be on the edge of the box to me
looks to be of the headed variety.
Doubt this link post will be allowed, but a friend just posted a video clip of the goal: https://www.facebook.com/blendintoshadows/videos/10153656943063966/?pnref=story
AJ JUST SCORED!!! holy moly, i literally just launched the stream and they were showing the replay. A guy for Bremen got loose on the end line, and served in a cross: AJ dove close to the ground and powered it in with his head.
THEN, as i’m typing this, the keeper for Darmstadt (hmm, that name just says “relegation” to me) flubs the ball away, so AJ takes it and takes a difficult angled shot that was heading in, only for a defender to clear it off the line at the last second. wow.
gooooooooaaaaaaaaal AJ
yessssssss
My FoxSportsGo App on my phone shows:
2 p.m. – Fox Deportes – Hertha Berlin vs. FC Koln
4 p.m. – FOX Soccer Plus – Darmstadt 98 vs. Werder Bremen
mine too, what gives?
I haven’t seen AJ play this year and I know his team has started out somewhat successful, bit I feel like he really needs a goal today, his team recently picked up Pizarrio, they could start looking else where at forward if he doesn’t start producing.
Does anyone have a good sense as to how he has faired so far in the BL.
Pretty sure rubin starts too,
alot of americans playing at onces today. so far:
zelalem is starting vs a 1st division scotland team
AJ is starting in bundesliga play
and yedlin should start vs man cuty, with maybe hyndman playing with ream.
If brooks is fit, he might make bench
Morales is starting
Guzan and howard should start
Novacovich might play with williams
ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!
