Sunderland ‘in a very bad patch’ admits midfielder Larsson

With Sunderland woefully out of form and having slipped to the bottom of the Premier League, it is a bleak time to be on Wearside, but Sebastian Larsson is adamant the squad won’t stop fighting to turn things round.

The division’s basement boys have lost four of their last five games, and are three points from safety, having lost 2-0 to West Bromwich Albion last time out.

And the matches do not get any easier for David Moyes’ side, as they host high-flying Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday.

Midfielder Larsson has admitted the team are not on a good run of form, but has vowed the players will keep working to improve results.

“We are obviously in a very bad patch at the moment,” said Larsson. “We aren’t picking up points and it needs to turn around very quickly.

“Unfortunately, we seem to be giving games away. For some reason we find ourselves trailing a couple of goals very quickly at the moment in most games and that’s something we need to rectify.

“It’s the only thing you can do because we need to keep fighting, working and doing everything we can to possibly turn things around.

“It’s an extremely disappointing dressing room as it should be at the moment but the only thing we can do is keep working.”
