Can Regis Le Bris Crack the Code? Bristol City Boss Faces Tactical Test Against Liam Manning in High-Stakes Sunderland Rematch

April 16, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Sunderland head to Ashton Gate with their play-off spot secured, but questions still linger over their attacking form. Despite dominating possession in the reverse fixture against Bristol City, Regis Le Bris’ side struggled to break through until a last-gasp equaliser from Patrick Roberts salvaged a point. Now, with just two goals in their last five games and a continued lack of cutting edge in the final third, Le Bris faces mounting pressure to find a tactical solution—especially against a Robins side still fighting tooth and nail for a top-six finish.

I Witnessed Sunderland’s Bold Alan Browne Experiment at Full-Back vs Millwall – Here’s the Surprising Truth

Alan Browne’s unexpected shift to right-back for Sunderland was a move born out of necessity, but it quickly proved to be an inspired decision. With a mounting injury crisis in defence, head coach Regis Le Bris took a gamble by deploying Browne in an unfamiliar role, while shifting Trai Hume to the left. The reshuffle paid off, with Hume delivering a match-winning performance and Browne adapting seamlessly despite his lack of experience in defence. His solid positioning and composed distribution added an unexpected dimension to Sunderland’s play, neutralizing Millwall’s attacking threats. What was meant to be a temporary fix may now present Le Bris with a serious selection dilemma ahead of the trip to West Brom.
