What They're Saying
Sunderland manager Gus Poyet (via the Mirror): "I'm a head coach. I don't make the squad, that's not my job. I've [got] four defenders. I play what I've got. I'll take responsibility at a set-piece, it was me. I pick the team and put it on the pitch. The rest, I'm sorry, I'm not going to take."
Tactical Preview
