00:00Sunderland head coach Regis Lebris has reflected on a tough game away at Norwich in which the
00:06Black Cats picked up a goalist draw that secured their place in the play-offs.
00:10Tough first half, I think. We found it well because we expected a strong team in possession
00:18with many threats. I think we did well without pressure. It was probably the main problem
00:27during the first 30 minutes and with the ball we had some good spells but we were sometimes
00:33sloppy and we didn't retain possession. So the first half was tough, I think, but we fixed
00:40some problems during the half time. I think the four subs helped during the second half
00:46as well and we had a second good half. Yeah, it's important for them because they can get
00:53new experiences and nothing is better than the competitive game and so it was the case
01:00today. It shows that you have to improve many elements in your game but you need experiences

01:26Yeah, I thought we definitely deserved something from the game overall and I thought the performance
01:32was good, you know, we put them on a lot of pressure moments around the box, just couldn't
01:36quite find that final finish or that final pass at times and it was a bad start from us
01:43to go a goal down so early and so simply really and give ourselves a bit of an uphill task but
01:48I thought we responded great in general and through the game and kept pushing and created so much
01:54pressure and really seeing them be under that much pressure in a game for so long.
02:00So that's a real kind of positive for us to take but the boys are so disappointed that
02:05we didn't get anything from the game so that's something that we can use as kind of the ingredients
02:11and that fuel to kick us on for the end of the season.
02:14We're not going to take so long.
02:20Here we go.
02:22Let's remove the
