Sunderland have been told they have a ‘really special talent’ in their squad after the defeat to Ipswich Town.
After managing Sunderland for six games, Michael Beale has only managed three wins, as they were defeated by Ipswich Town yesterday.
It was a solid first half performance from Sunderland, but they looked far from the quality needed to keep them in the play-offs in the latter stages of the game. Jack Clarke’s goal gave the Black Cats serious momentum, and Adil Aouchiche had a chance to double the lead shortly after he was substituted. Nevertheless, poor decision-making and even worse defending allowed Conor Chaplin to claim all three points for the hosts.
While players like Dan Neil received plaudits for his “excellent” performance this weekend, others, like Aouchiche and Luke O’Nien, faced criticism for their performances in the Championship loss.
The Sunderland Echo gave the midfield player an eight, with writer Phil Smith noting: “Another excellent, commanding display in midfield.” Won challenges, went into favorable zones and broke forward when he could. a truly unique ability.
