Sunderland boss left frustrated at yet another defeat

Chris Coleman was a frustrated figure at Loftus Road following Sunderland’s defeat in West London, leaving The Black Cats bottom of the league.

Sunderland’s winless run stretched to nine games as Eberechi Eze’s first goal for Queens Park Rangers saw off the 10-man Black Cats.

After a dour, goalless first half, the game changed when Sunderland keeper Jason Steele was sent off for handling the ball outside the penalty area.

And with a man advantage QPR took the match to Sunderland, with Ebere Eze calmly slotting home the game’s only goal on the 62nd minute to force the lads to return home empty handed.

Defeat for Sunderland – who had no shots on target – kept them four points from safety with nine games remaining.

Speaking post-match to the club website, Coleman delivered his verdict of the defeat in the capital.

“It is not a game where we have been dominated” he said.

“Sometimes we come off and I think we have not been involved in the game or we have never had a say in the game but that wasn’t the case today.”

“In the first half I don’t really remember Jason (Steele) having a save to make.”

“I can’t really remember their keeper either having to make one, but it was a tight game. ”

“Of course, being forced down to 10 just five minutes into the second half was a huge psychological blow.”

“But when you are bottom of the league you think here we go again. They got a goal and it wasn’t good defending from us.”

“It is hard for me to ask the players for more because they did try,” he continued.

“They worked hard but in vital areas it is just that composure and confidence.”

“Another game has passed us by.”
