Sorensen: Players have to take responsibility
The Danish keeper and the rest of the Sunderland side were slated by Black Cats boss Peter Reid after their performance in the local derby game with Newcastle last week and a loss at home to Villa could spell the end of Reids reign at The Stadium Of Light.

"If you're beaten and you perform to your best, then you have to hold your hands up. But if you're not, then I think you have to look at yourselves and the team instead of looking at the manager or the fans or anything else," said Sorensen.

"The players have to take a lot of responsibility as well. What we are normally know as is a club that gives 100 per cent on the pitch and in the last three games, it hasn't been there.

"We have looked inside ourselves over the last three or four days and we've worked really hard in training, and you can see the commitment is there.

"At the end of the day, it's for ourselves, but it's also for the fans and the manager as well. Saturday will be a crunch game and we definitely know that."
