They always doubled up on him. That would’ve meant someone else was free. Too bad we didn’t find the free man. Anyway, we go again next season and hopefully with a stronger deck. Felt like we played a man short the way Wright played the last 2 games.

Wingers aren't normally the type of players who you expect to track back and give 100% every game.
That's why Tats is such a great player...he's like 2 players, a winger and a full back, all in one.
And you've got to remember, he's living in a foreign country as well, and has had to learn the language from scratch.
Got to love this guy for his effort and skill, and the fact that he's super humble too, makes him such an endearing character.
The guy is immense - Frank, give him a new contract immediately.

He already gave him a new contract

Walking back to the coach after the game, all the Sunderland fans around me were raving about Sakamoto.

He was immense. Best game for us.

Woke up and can't help but think that's probably the best individual performance from a single player all season.

Sure Rudi has had a few that have come close, but for sheer dedication and quality, Saka on top.

Just over a million quid for him - mental

Remember when he signed and people were saying King had signed him without Robins knowledge to sell shirts in Japan and Robins was never going to play him as he was shit How do people come up with some of this stuff???

Yeah. I’ve been critical of him at times but last night, he was unplayable. They just couldn’t cope with him.

Because the world is full of unkind mean spirited people who have nothing nice to say about anything or anybody.

Sakamoto put in an incredible performance yesterday, he was just everywhere.
A lot of comments on social media from neutrals also saying how good he looked too.

Bloody love the guy
