"We gave a lot of counter-attacks away. In the second half, we were a little better. We had good chances, but we weren't there in the key moments. We should have done better, we want to do better, but onto the next one, and we keep our heads up. At this level, you get punished if you don't finish chances."
"We fight for each other but when we have the ball, we need to be more secure. The only way to keep on going is to keep our heads up and get three points next week."
Sunderland has experienced a significant downturn in form, dropping from European contention to 12th place after losing their last three Premier League matches. Their most recent defeat was a 3-1 loss to Fulham at home, where Raul Jimenez scored twice. Goalkeeper Robin Roefs acknowledged defensive vulnerabilities, particularly regarding counter-attacks, and emphasized missed finishing opportunities. He stressed the importance of maintaining focus and securing possession during build-up play. Sunderland faces Bournemouth away this weekend, seeking to reverse their poor run. Bournemouth currently sits eighth, recently drawing goalless with West Ham despite creating significant scoring opportunities.
