DODDS POST LCFC
Mike Dodds praised Chris Rigg and Adil Aouchiche in particular for showing good signs in Sunderland’s close loss to Leicester City.
MUCH BETTER IN THE SECOND HALF
We need to reverse this trend as soon as possible, therefore I’m very careful about how I respond to questions because we’ve just suffered five straight losses. However, I believe that the second half, in particular, provides a glimpse of the ideal playing style for each of us. The most annoying part of the first fifteen minutes is, listen, I have to give Leicester credit because I thought they moved the ball so rapidly. They moved it so nicely, but I really enjoyed how we pressed at times. We seemed to take control of the game once everything calmed down, and I thought we played fantastically in the second half.”
DOMINANT
“One of the guys there just mentioned that their XG in the second half was 0.01; I don’t think there would be many games where the opposition gets so nullified, never mind the best team in the league. I don’t want to be the guy throwing stats at people because I know it can be annoying and that they can be manipulated. There are many advantages, and the group is doing well, but we also realize that we need to reverse this trend. It does seem to me that one victory leads to two, three, and four more. Since I assumed leadership, we have dropped three games, and I am fully aware of this. However, we seem to be getting better all the time, so I’ll accept the good things. truly conscious of the need to buck this trend. It does seem to me that one victory leads to two, three, and four more. Although we have dropped three games since I assumed leadership, I think we have improved steadily, therefore I will focus on the positives.
