Friday, February 12 2016 by SNTV
  • Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce looked ahead on Thursday (11th February) to his side's English Premier League meeting with Manchester United on Saturday (13th February).

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Sam Allardyce, Sunderland manager:

    Q: "Will Adam Johnson be in the squad (to face Manchester United)?

    "No."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Sam Allardyce, Sunderland manager (on how he expects his team to perform against Manchester United):

    "If we can put up the same show we put up against Manchester City then we're going to give them, a really good game. That's probably the thing I can ask the players to do the most, but this time, make sure you get a result if you give that type of performance. You've got to get the result to go with it. Our life is about results, more than ever before, not about performances. However you get the result, it's the most important thing to us now."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Sam Allardyce, Sunderland manager (on the game against Manchester United):

    "I think the players are looking forward to it now. I think that what they could have taken from Manchester City and what they took from the last 15 minutes at Liverpool shows, one, we've got a little bit of heart, a little bit extra quality with the new players and a little bit of resilience and, hopefully, that will bring us a few more wins and confidence to play against Manchester United and, and try and, get another result in this big game."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Sam Allardyce, Sunderland manager (on former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Eboue, who is currently training with Sunderland):

    "He'll still be here for a few more days to see whether he can, catch up with the level of fitness that needs to be, that he knows he's not played for a long time and, if he's got any sort of quality, left that he had and showed at Arsenal then he may, later down the line, be able to secure a, short-term contract with us."
