Sunderland player ratings early in the season, Mukiele 8.5 as others search for rhythm | OneFootball

Sunderland’s start has been solid, with progress in two competitions but mixed Premier League results. Here are the early player ratings as the break approaches.

According to Sunderland Echo, Nordi Mukiele has been outstanding, 8.5, with Kevin Danso 8 and Thomas Meunier 7.5. Enzo Le Fée is creating consistently, 7.5, and Brian Brobbey hit a high level against Arsenal and Man City, which could lift his scoring if his international injury is not significant, 7.5.

Robin Roefs faced ruthless finishing from City and Arsenal, stayed composed and shone against AZ Alkmaar, 6. Melker Ellborg kept a clean sheet at Hull in the Carabao Cup but was omitted from the Europa League squad due to homegrown rules, N/A.

Dan Ballard was back to his best before a hamstring setback on international duty, 7. Reinildo has been steady, though sent off late at Arsenal, 6.5. Luke O’Nien had a tough Ipswich opener, 5.5, and Trai Hume remains reliable after losing his Premier League starting spot, 6.5.

Granit Xhaka has not hit last season’s peak but still supplies key forward passes, 7. Noah Sadiki underpins the balance and seeks more end product, 6.5. Omar Alderete is short of sharpness after a knee issue and the World Cup, 5.

Nilson Angulo has one goal and one assist with tireless work, 7. Malick Fofana is yet to catch fire, 5.5, and Chemsdine Talbi has been short of minutes but impressed at Hull, 5. Wilson Isidor struck at Fulham and won a penalty at Brentford, 7.
