Sunderland players ‘don’t trust’ teammate who ‘looked frustrated’ v Leicester

After the loss against Leicester City, it has been stated that the Sunderland players “don’t trust” this one particular teammate.

Midweek saw Sunderland fall at Leicester City 1-0, handing Mike Dodds’ team their fifth straight Championship loss.

During his third stint as Sunderland’s temporary manager, Dodds has now lost all three of his opening games since Michael Beale was fired last month.

The Black Cats, who haven’t dropped six straight games since the 2005–06 campaign, might potentially set an unwelcome eighteen-year record this weekend if they lose against Southampton.

It’s also unclear who starts at the front in what seems to be a never-ending argument for Sunderland right now.

Sunderland striker woes summed up by Luis Hemir

Luis Hemir has led the line for Sunderland in the last two outings.

He remains a player with bags of potential and he could one day fill the void left by Ross Stewart last summer.

But right now it’s tough for the 20-year-old; he’s not scored in 18 Championship appearances for the Black Cats and has failed to make an impact in the last two games which he’s started.

Giving his verdict on the Portuguese striker, journalist James Copley suggested that Hemir looked frustrated against Leicester in midweek, and that the Sunderland players maybe don’t trust Hemir just yet.

Copley said on the Road Podcast:

“I believed Hemir to be extremely alone… His demeanor conveyed frustration. Sunderland isn’t trying to get him excited. They are not trying to play from behind. I don’t think they trust him at this point since it’s obvious. That’s something that hopefully has room to expand. Does he exhibit enough? Does he run often enough? Is he hitting the proper number of home runs? That doesn’t convince me either.
