4. Sunderland NEVER learn
After fighting relegation for several seasons and somehow escaping every time, you would have thought Sunderland had eradicated their common mistakes.
But evidently, they haven’t.
One of Sunderland’s biggest downfalls is conceding goals, but yet again they have failed to tighten up their defence and have shipped seven goals in their opening two games which have both ended in defeat.
The partnership of Younes Kaboul and Sebastian Coates doesn’t look convincing, as highlighted by Gary Neville on Monday Night Football.
It’s worrying they haven’t improved from last season, especially after losing 8-0 at home to Southampton.
The Black Cats need to learn, and fast. I’ve tipped them to go down, as have many others, and I don’t think that’s going to change unless Dick Advocaat addresses some serious issues at the Stadium of Light.
