I like him, gets involved, puts himself about and looks to beat his man.

Seems to be the only player in that team who will take a man on and it makes such a difference.

He was outstanding today & had the best performance of everyone on the pitch including the home team. Well done Gooch!

When he gets the ball you can tell he wants to be positive, to try to make things happen.
While the rest of the back four are intent on bumping up the possession stats by passing it ponderously between each other, he's trying to push us forward.
I've not seen a Stoke performance this season that hasn't been improved by him being on the pitch. You can see why Sunderland fans really took to him.

Been my MotM the last 3 games, in part tbf because of how dire the rest have been. He's certainly one of our better options.

Good player, I like seeing him.... The only qualm I probably do have, is that he's one of those kind of players that sometimes wants to turn back and take his man on again after already beating him once.... That can be a little annoying!!!

Not the most technically gifted player but always gives 100% and actually tries to be positive and take his man on and get a cross in.
Pity it doesn't rub off on one or two of the others.

Was impressed with him today and would have been my MoM but for a superb display by Bonham.
OS.

Past his best that’s why Sunderland let him go but he gives his all. Anyone else involved in the build up to the goal and it doesn’t happen.
Think it was a quickly taken free kick that started it that he pointed and shouted to be given the ball otherwise the others would still be standing round hands on hips half arsed.
Just wish we had at least half the team that showed his attitude.

Given all this praise I now expect him to be dropped for the next game.

The bloody hell he is! I always thought he was at least 30. I’d formed the opinion on the Sunderland fans wishing him well he’d been a great servant but he’d already had his best days and was ready to move on. Think he been a winger but moved to full back has he’d got older. I’m beginning to question that now. Maybe it was a dream 😆

Certainly not enough to make up for his glaring shortfalls.

Another thread turning into a Bonham slag off. He made two tremendous saves today and yes didn’t look too comfortable with the high ball into the box but all keepers suffer from this affliction. It’s not easy being a keeper and to be an elite one is one of the toughest jobs in nogger

Listening to his interview I was expecting an American drawl but instead he sounded like a slight geordie with a touch of Irish thrown in.

Just wish we had at least half the team that showed his attitude. He also flung the cross in early before WBA could get back and organised. Mind you if it hadn't flown into the goal most would be asking who exactly he was aiming for. Nowhere near a Stoke player but I have often said getting the ball in the right place early causes panic in the defence

Posting an option on a message board isn’t attention seeking. It’s just my personal view, I’m not bothered if you disagree with it but for me I want to see players with a good attitude and quality on the ball. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.
