Dude, do you think I want to read 39 pages about Sunderland? Does anyone?? In any case, playing CF with the U-16s is just a tiny bit different to playing CF against grown men in the rough and tumble of the English 2nd and 3rd divisions.

86' Final substitution for #SAFC...➡️ @lyndengooch46 ⬅️ @vaughany08— Sunderland AFC (@SunderlandAFC) September 16, 2017 came on in the dying embers
Starts: 🏆 Simon Grayson has made 6⃣changes to his side ahead of this evening's @Carabao_Cup clash v @Everton pic.twitter.com/9qOCsvcHNT— Sunderland AFC (@SunderlandAFC) September 20, 2017
Big moment for Gooch, me thinks. Hasn't gotten but a sniff of PT this year, so this League Cup start is important for him. C'mon Gooch!
Roker Report from today's 3-0 loss to Everton: Honeyman - 3/10: Withdrawn on 63 minutes, offered nothing and lost the ball too often. Too lightweight for this level. Gooch - 5/10: Same as Honeyman first half to be honest. Did much better in the second though but lacked end product.
How great is this stat: "The Sunderland team tonight has more Everton appearances than the Everton team."
Goal! Lynden Gooch converts a penalty for Sunderland vs Cardiff. Now 1-1 in the 59th #USMNT— Brian Sciaretta (@BrianSciaretta) September 23, 2017 Gooch scored a penalty today

Played mostly through the middle underneath the striker. Looked reasonably dangerous throughout. Was tripped up to earn the penalty, and converted cleanly. And yes, I actually spent $7 to watch it - with one camera and no commentary.

Wow, somebody not living in Sunderland actually paid to watch them. Oh wait, maybe you are related to the lad?
Some fan ratings in his last game: Gooch 6 - worked hard Gooch - 6 (good penalty, not much quality) Gooch 5 Fair enough marks. Thought Gooch was worth a 7 but apart from that, pretty much spot on. Gooch: 5 shit but scored a goal

While everybody is slobbering over Pulisic and BvB, etc. (although benched today), I can't help but still channel my 2003 Big Soccer fix of scanning the lower leagues for Yanks playing.
