We only beat Barca after subbing Weghorst off at half time, we were losing and he had a shocker. He played badly in the first leg too.
Amad Diallo | Sunderland Loan Watch

Yes, I'm not a fan of Weghorst, just pointing out that we had a run of results with him in the team. Lack of height throughout the team has been a factor with Casemiro and McTominay missing games.
His early matches were definitely off the pace, as are his recent ones. The rest are most notable for his off ball efforts.
I can definitely see the point of arguing about Wout Weghorst in a thread about Amad Diallo, what with all the similarities between them.
EtH has mentioned he likes subs where the change of pace/style messes with the rhythm of the opposing forwards. So taking off Weghorst and putting Rashford up front and having someone like Garnacho come on means the RB and CBs are dealing with entirely different players to what they have been all game. Not sure how effective it will be all the time but he seems to think it does, and it did earlier this year
Spot on.
I'm not saying that he only signs Dutch players. I'm saying that he may have too much loyalty to the players that he signed personally over better alternatives.
Also mentioning Brazilians in the context of this discussion is a bit strange, considering that a large percentage of the complaints about EtH involve his inexplicable decision to drop an astronomical sum of money on a Brazilian right winger who doesn't score, create, or threaten generally despite him coaching Antony for two years prior.
That's actually why this discussion is in this thread- some people are questioning whether Amad would get a fair crack next season given that Pellestri hasn't this year despite 9 figure Anto not earning his place at all.
The team performs noticeably worse when Antony doesn't play. He needs more end product, but he's very young, new to the county, maybe we can have some grace.
Perfect GIFWhat a goal!
Go on!!!!!!
Sheeet

Gif of the goal anyone?
Take a bow son.
Gonna be the man to get them in the prem.
Great goal!
Can't wait to see him in a United shirt next season.
What a goal! How many times has he done that this season, get him in the squad next year
What a goal!!
I don't think he's any worse than Antony or Sancho.
Hardly touched the ball and then he does that
I wonder if Sancho would have that kind of impact on Sunderland
That’s a ridiculous goal

Sancho would destroy that league on his own
Hope we don't loan him again next season. What a player!
So excited about the lad.
His teammates need to find him more, they have been too selfish in this game.
By going past players or by using his pace?
Every time I open a Amad thread I'm greeted by a great goal. Fantastic.
