3) Dick Advocaat Needs A Bit of Luck
Sometimes in football you just need a bit of luck. Dick Advocaat needs that right now.
Today’s game against Tottenham was probably one of Sunderland‘s better performances so far this season, but they still came away with nothing thanks to a later Ryan Mason goal.
Spurs weren’t great, but neither were Sunderland and overall it was a poor game, but The Black Cats didn’t deserve to lose and 0-0 would have been fair.
However, the loss leaves Advocaat‘s men rock bottom with just two points from five games.
Somehow Sunderland have survived late on in the past two seasons, but this time, it might be their time to drop to the Championship.
