The moment Gus Poyet had been waiting for arrived when someone asked why his players had “stood off” Liverpool. Surely, continued the questioner, Sunderland are synonymous with getting in the faces of their opponents?

“No,” said the manager, seizing an opportunity to drop his bosses a not so cryptic hint. “That was the characteristic of one Sunderland, the one with Kevin Phillips and Niall Quinn. The rest of the teams of Sunderland did not have any characteristics. They were rubbish. They were playing for relegation and suffering. I am trying something but we are miles away to a point that worries me.”....

he's got a point but what exactly does he want? We've been crap for years and slagging us off isn't the way to go
 
He's absolutely spot on. We have been f***ing dog shit for years, since Phillips and co.

It's going to take a long time for any manager to turn this club around and Poyet needs time as any manager would. We can't be turned around in a season or two seasons. The big worry is though, our signings in the summer were pathetic meaning we need a load of players yet again.
 
I like the quote, I'm just not sure how much new players will change things. Jack Rodwell's a "squad player." An Italian national and an Argentinian national are just kind of drifting around. It's depressing nothing-football and it has to be taking a toll on the manager and the players as much as the supporters.
 
If pullis and dyche can get worse players at palace and burnley playing well, why can't poyet? If he can't get the team up for it, maybe some of the blame lies with him. This interview may well lead to him being sacked imho, you can't be saying that about the club that pays your wages
 
He's right.

The people before him were given millions to spend on the players they wanted.

He's also picking up the pieces of those said managers squandering a large bulk of it on poor players.
I agree with this but I also worry what further gash would be brought in of the Gomez/Bridcutt/Buckley ilk if he was given the funds :confused:
