Boss David Moyes reckons that his star striker isn’t getting the ball enough, and that is why Sunderland are suffering.
Jermain Defoe’s goals where what kept Sunderland up and saved last season, and is current on 14 goals this season. The worrying figure is that he has only score one goal in the last six fixtures – but Moyes this is down to his strikers team mates.
“We know if we can get the ball to Jermain he will get a shot away or an opportunity,”
“We are not getting him enough service but it is because we are not getting enough good ball further up the pitch. We are scrapping to get that. I need those players, and we paid big money for a lot of them, we need them all to stand up and show what they can do.”
