Sunderland Are Average Team Who Recruit Badly Says Manchester United Legend

Dick Advocaat says Sunderland will have “no chance” if they continue to perform as they did during their opening-weekend capitulation at Leicester.

Sunderland’s fans appear to be attributing the desperate start to a lack of investment from Short, with chants of “Are you watching Ellis Short?” cascading from the stands at regular intervals throughout the second half of Saturday’s game.

Fletcher scored 11 times during his first season at Sunderland after a £12million move from Wolves, but has found goals far harder to come by since.

I’ve looked at this one a few times and I think that Sunderland to me at the moment look really poor at the back, Norwich are only back in the league having won the playoffs from the Championship last season.

“With all respect, you can not blame the president for this”, he said.

Loads of Sunderland fans left at halftime, which means they missed Hoolahan and Redmond hooking up for a 1-2 that ended with the latter beating Pantilimon to the near post and a 3-0 lead for Norwich after 57 minutes. “But since they came back from their summer break the players have not responded and if they don’t manage to sign some decent players in the next ten days, I wouldn’t be surprised if he walks”.

The win gave Norwich City their first points on the new season upon their return to the top flight.

“The last game against Hannover was a little bit better, more organisation, but there is no excuse for the way we played (against Leicester)”. In this game, he could have reacted better for the first goal and got across to cut out the second with a block.

Howson adapted well to the switch and was pleased to see Redmond perform well on the other flank, scoring City’s third to take his personal tally to five goals in his last six games for Alex Neil’s side.

The Scottish boss spoke to Sky Sports after the win, “I’m delighted for them”. He was running and closing people down, he was running past his own players to close people down.

“Tomorrow we will sit down together and speak to find out what the problem is”.

The core of the squad is the same this season as it has been in all four of Sunderland’s recent brushes with relegation, which does not inspire confidence things are going to dramatically improve.
