Without taking anything away from what Sunderland achieved last season when you compare it to sheff utd's first season back in around 2019/20 they are remarkably similar
Both finished on 54 pts, 14w, 12d, 12l
Sheff utd scored 39 and conceded 39
Sunderland scored 42 and conceded 48
However, the following season was a real struggle for sheff utd and ended in relegation and they did not have the extra European games to think about
Ok so Sunderland clearly have some great players but there is no reason to think they won't struggle this season. We've seen time and time again sides with stronger squads struggle to compete in Europe alongside the domestic fixtures |  |
