David Moyes struggling for answers as Sunderland near worst ever start
Show/hide article…
Sunderland were stranded at Southampton Airport on Wednesday night as their charter flight was cancelled – a misfortune which embodies the club’s dreadful season so far. David Moyes’ reign has been grounded, without a single victory or clean sheet from nine Premier League matches and just two points since he took over this summer.
Southampton’s 1-0 win over the Black Cats ended hopes of the EFL Cup offering refuge from the second worst Premier League start this century (only Sheffield Wednesday’s one point from their nine games in 1999-2000 beats it).
Moyes fielded almost a full-strength team at St Mary’s but his team were beaten by a Saints team that made nine changes from their weekend’s 1-1 draw at Manchester City. The manager also ended the match sat in the stands, having been dismissed for his angry complaints to a fourth official about a penalty that was not awarded when Southampton defender Maya Yoshida appeared to foul Sunderland striker Victor Anichebe, an outburst for which he received a Football Association charge on Thursday.
“I swore at him and I shouldn’t have done so I deserved to be sent off,” said Moyes in postmatch. A later question from BBC Radio saw his reply prefaced by a protracted and exasperated sigh, while an interview with Sky Sports saw him embarrassed not to know the name of the referee who had dismissed him (Chris Kavanagh.)
Moyes is desperately struggling for answers. A man who prides himself on no-nonsense straight talking is left with little to say when the next course of action would be to criticise the repeatedly dreadful performances of his players, something he has rarely done.
Last week at West Ham, after a 94th minute Winston Reid goal at the London Stadium had denied that first clean sheet, Moyes gave the type of testy, passive-aggressive news conference performance he regularly delivered during his final weeks as Manchester United manager.
“I agree with you,” he replied when a journalist suggested striker Jermain Defoe had become isolated from midfield in the latter stages, and especially after defensive substitutes in Paddy McNair and Billy Jones were brought in the second half. No further response was offered and an embarrassed silence descended.
Those who know Moyes suggest he prides himself on never giving journalists an easy line to lead their articles, but an obstructive public manner does him few favours at a time when supporters must be wondering if his team might ever win a Premier League game again.
Lose to Arsenal at the Stadium of Light on Saturday lunchtime and Sunderland will have claimed the worst ever points return after 10 games of a Premier League campaign.
These are parlous times for both club and manager. Sunderland have at least been here before; last season saw Sam Allardyce replace Dick Advocaat after eight matches without a win, and eventually save the club in a fifth successive relegation battle. Moyes was sacked by Real Sociedad last November with the Basque club 16th in La Liga, but he had not been involved in a Premier League relegation battle since the 2003-04 season at Everton when they finished six points from the drop in 17th place.
Within the corridors of power at Sunderland, headed by chairman and owner Ellis Short, there appears little appetite for Moyes’ removal. But should the current malaise continue, then his destiny may lie in the hands of the fans and their desire to attend matches.
Being sacked by Sunderland has had a serious impact on the last 11 managers. Indeed, the last to land a Premier League job for his next post was Peter Reid, appointed by Leeds United in 2003.
Of his successors, only Steve Bruce, sacked in November 2011 but who impressed with Hull City, and Martin O’Neill, who took the Ireland job having been sacked in March 2013, have enjoyed much in the way of success.
Moyes appears still scarred by the disastrous nine months he suffered at United. At Old Trafford, it swiftly became clear that the job of succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson in July 2013 was beyond a manager whose prime achievement was making Everton a solid but unspectacular club. There was little shame in that; few football men would have turned down the opportunity to have managed the best team in the land, and with the blessing of Ferguson himself.
Ferguson’s fellow Scot could not emulate his mentor, and he has never since regained the confident poise of his Everton tenure of 2002-2013, where an underfunded club regularly competed creditably alongside the “Big Four” – Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and United – of that Premier League era. His time in Spain was hesitant, as he failed to learn the language and, in the current fashion of Jose Mourinho, spent his entire tenure in San Sebastian living in a luxury hotel while he won only 12 of his 42 games.
Moyes was brought in as Sunderland’s stability candidate, someone who shared the footballing values of Allardyce, who had departed to manage England.
“I look forward to continuing the good work done by Sam,” he said on his appointment in July. He has done no such thing and Sunderland are heading down to early-season depths unfamiliar even to a club that makes a habit of starting slowly.

The Lilywhites sit just three points below Saints in 9th and Fleming wants to see an improved performance from the one that saw his side draw 2-2 with Leicester City in their previous league outing.
“We are expecting a pretty tough game, to be honest,” he explained.
“Fulham are a good footballing side and have had some decent recent results, so I imagine it will be a tough game.
“We’ve got so many in the 23s now that we are quite a young 18s side, but the boys have been doing very well.
“Looking back at last week, we certainly need to keep the ball better. We gave it away far too cheaply and far too often, which is unusual for us as it is usually one of our strengths.”
Will Smallbone scored within a minute last weekend against Leicester, as Saints went on to cement a two-goal lead by the break.
However, two late goals from the Foxes in the final stages of the encounter meant that Fleming’s men had to make do with a share of the spoils.
“We were all really disappointed,” Fleming continued.
“We have worked ever so hard on being resilient and defensively solid, and at 2-0 up we had three one-on-one chances to put the game to bed.
“After we didn’t take those we just seemed to get deeper and deeper, before then conceding two really soft goals.
“Naturally the boys were really down afterwards, but we’ve had a good week of training and I am sure they’ll bounce back against Fulham on Saturday.”

Why Premier League leads are becoming harder to turn over: will comebacks ever come back?
Show/hide article…
Are comebacks a thing of the past? Once the hallmark of the Premier League and Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United, particularly in his final season, victories from losing positions have become something of a rarity.
Of the 90 games so far this season, only eight have seen a team win after going behind - a proportion of just 8.9 per cent. And none of the last 28 matches have witnessed a comeback win - since Liverpool’s 2-1 triumph at Swansea.

Saints are unbeaten in nine home Premier League games (W6 D3). It is their longest home unbeaten top-flight run since March 2005, when they went 12 games without defeat.
Southampton have won just two of their last 14 Premier League games against Chelsea, though did beat the Blues in October 2015.
The West Londoners have scored in each of their last 11 Premier League away games at Southampton, last failing to find the net in December 1997.
The Blues have won their last three Premier League games, last winning four in a row in April 2015 when they were on their way to winning the title.
Only Liverpool (59) have had more shots on target this season than Southampton (55), with Chelsea in third (54, level with Spurs).
Chelsea have taken eight more points from their first nine games than they did last season (11). This is the biggest improvement from all Premier League sides who were present in 2015/16.
Nathan Redmond has scored in back-to-back league games for Southampton and will be hoping to score in three successive Premier League matches for the first time.
Eden Hazard has already equalled his goal tally from last season (4 in 31 games) from just nine appearances this season.
Sofiane Boufal, who made his Premier League debut last weekend, scored 11 times in Ligue 1 last season. The only midfielder with more was Hatem Ben Arfa (17).
