Tim Sherwood shares Amad Diallo verdict after Sunderland FA Cup draw with Fulham

Sat 28 January 2023 18:15, UK

Sunderland on-loan winger Amad Diallo ha𓆉s been described as “outstanding” by Sky Sports pundit Tim Sherwood.

T🉐he 20-year-old delivered a superb display for the Black Cats in Saturday’s draw with Fulham in the FA Cup fourth round.

Amad caused no end of p𝔉roblems for the opposition, regularly getting into💙 good areas and threatening.

Indeed, the Sunderland o🔜n-loan ace could’ve had two goals but for the ▨opposition goalkeeper.

Diallo created several chances for himself and linked up well with the equally impressive Patri🌜ck Roberts.

𒀰And Sherwood loved what he was seeing from the Stadium of Light talen🐼t.

“Amad Diallo has been outstanding,” Sherwood tol🎐d at half-time (28/1✨/23, 15:51).

“He’s on loan from Manchester United and what ൲a talent this boy is.

“He’s picꦉking it up in all areas ཧof the field but he doesn’t play safe.”

Near the end of the game (28/1/23, 16:53), Sherwood once again praise✃d Amad.

“Amad is the player of the🤪 match,” the former Aston Villa mꦛanager said.

“He’s full of magic… he’s miles offside but the flag stays down an🐻d the young boy Rigg puts it into the top corner.

“But it’s ruled out.”

Sund🐼erland opened the scoring through Jack Clarke in the sixth minute of the match.

However, opposition captain Tom Cairn🐻ey levelled for the hosts just after the hour mark.

Chris R📖ig🐠g then looked to have scored the winner for Sunderland late on.

However, the 15-year-old’s goa🔥l was ruled out with Jewison Bennette deemed offs🐲ide in the build-up.

Sunderland a good shout for promotion thanks to Amad – TBR View

Amad won t♓he E✱FL Young Player of the Month in December and continues to go from strength to strength.

Sunderland remain in contention for promot🦄ion for the Champ🌊ionship, though it’s an incredibly tight race.

If Amad can help get the Black Cats back in🧔to the top flight, his status❀ as a Stadium of Light icon will be assured.

And ideally, if Sunderland do go up, they can sign🎶 him, although the Red☂ Devils may want him for their own first-team.
