Tony Mowbray: ‘Sunderland are better than last season’
THE campaign might only be a matter of weeks old and Tony Mowbray will have absolutely no interest whatsoever in paying any attention to the table, but one Sunderland conclusion can already be drawn: last season was no fluke.
Not that anybody on Wearside thought that was the case but the Black Cats were something of a surprise package in the second tier last term and after Amad’s return to Manchester United and the exit of Ross Stewart, building on last season’s success looked a big ask.
And yet it’s already crystal clear that Sunderland look a good bet to be in the promotion shake-up again this season.
And it’s hard to argue with the confident claim from boss Mowbray, who said on Wednesday night: “I think the team are better than last season.
“I know we had Amad who is an amazing individual footballer who could damage teams, but I feel the positional play of the team is better this year.”
