Sunderland currently sits 5th in the Premier League after a flying start to the season, despite having a squad with limited Premier League experience. In this week’s episode of The Breakdown,@JamesLawrenceAllcott takes a look at how their 15 new signings have transformed the team, why the central midfielders are playing like wingers, and how Granit Xhaka has become the key component making it all possible.

How impressed have you been with Sunderland’s start to the season?
The commentators shouldn't comment on the refereeing or the rules. The worst ones are the ex-players. I often have to turn the sound down, but I miss the sound of the crowd.
Just lost to united… this aged poorly
So they are doing exactly what de zerbi did with Brighton, playing out from the back
Pleased for Granit, he was very consistent in a very disfunctional Arsenal team and helped medfielders like Ramsey, Guendouzi and Martinelli shine because of his tactical discipline and reliable midrange passing. Terrible perception of him by our fanbase was a crime.
Update,Amorims Formation Beat them 2-0!!!!!!!
bro is exposing the sunderlands tactics bro🙊
Sunderland fans never expect an easy ride but we're always hopeful. The mix of last's year's group and the new signings is working well. Most of our goals have come from last year's lads like Isidor etc. If we can keep the amazing work rate and committment we'll do alright this year
They're going to beat United aren't they 😶
Granit Xhaka, theres no one like him
I miss xhaka so much at arsenal, we would have won the league by now if he was still here
Stop telling everyone
We're not finishing in the top 6 but we've been very good, and should stop up
I wish the best for manU
Sunderland is the new Crystal Palace but in a defensive way.
Its like hes trying to talk in baby speak to amorim to help him before the match , explaining how sunderland work
If only Amorin could be flexible
Watching this as a united fan; i know we will lose badly
where to acces all these stats.
Welcome back , Cristiano Ronaldo
Good luck United 😂
God bless Man United this weekend.
Granit Xhaka is an outstanding player. He was never appreciated at Arsenal. He was probably the most important player in that Alonso leverkusen team that went unbeaten alongside writz. I am not surprised he is making a newly promoted Sunderland looking like a team worthy of playing in Europe. As a united fan I just hope they don't cook us this weekend.
A tactically breakdown is interesting, but I really want to know how it is possible for a squad with so much turnover can compete so well. You did not actually answer that question. Can it be as simple as “Granit Xhaka?” I doubt it. Forrest had a similar squad refresh three seasons ago.
Excellent assessment of our play, my only criticism, it's RegISS le bris, not Reggie.
Think Sunderland ve been remarkable so far,but I believe their fixtures have been favorable so far. Will wait to see how they fair against the top six- eight,and see if the momentum is still there.
Sunderland to beat United
Reuben Amorim studying this for tomorrow
who would have thought that Sunderland would be able to make the (possibly) signing of the year only thx to Eric Ten Hag-wild^^
