Sunderland player ratings Summer signing
Sunderland were able to come back from behind twice to earn a 2-2 draw at Watford, but who impre sed and who didnt? Here are the player ratings. Anthony Patterson 5There is no question that Patterson will feel he could, and should, have done better with both Watford goals. He will learn more from the bad games than the good ones, though. Luke ONien 6He wont enjoy watching the own goal back, and he had a tough game against such physical forwards. Never once quit, though.
Darnell Mooney Jersey Danny Batth 7Sunderland needed Batth to be on his game in this one as he was one of the few able to match Watfords physicality, and he let nobody down. Aji Alese 8Alese
Brian Piccolo Jersey was man of the match in midweek against Reading and he backed that up with another fine performance in this one, with him topping it off with his first ever senior goal. Lynden Gooch 6Tucked in too narrow for the Watford opener, but he was his usual combative self and he really does epitomise the new-found Sunderland spirit. Corry Evans 7My reliability in the midfield. Rarely catches the eye but
Tashaun Gipson Jersey always does whats needed. The Northern Irishman has become a key player in this exciting team. Dan Neil 6Wasnt able to match the level he showed at Reading, but he was far from a weak link either. Jack Clarke 6Not at his best, although he did have a key role in the first goal and was unfortunate to have a goal disallowed for offside and he was denied a blatant penalty too. On another day, he is leading Sunderland to victory. Scroll to ContinueElliott Embleton 6Neat and tidy but struggled to make a genuine impact. Alex Pritchard 7Not his most eye-catching performance, yet still managed to be at the heart of everything good that Sunderland did while he was on the pitch. Patrick Roberts 7Really stepping up in the absence of the strikers and he was the only starting attacker to
Dick Butkus Jersey see out the whole game. That tells its own story. SubsAmad Diallo 7Showed his obvious quality in flashes. Exciting to think that there is so much more to come from the Manchester United man.Jewsion Bennette 7Looked a threat from the moment he got on
Brian Johnson Jersey the pitch and produced a special moment in front of the ecstatic red and white army. Abdoullah Ba 6Showed plenty to get excited about on his debut and didnt look like he will have any problems with the physicality in the Championship either. Jay Matete 7Probably exactly what Sunderland needed right when they needed it. Game Watfords powerful midfield something new to think about. Leon Dajaku 6Really should have scored, and he is an easy player to forget about, but he definitely played his part in salvaging a very well deserved point.
