GAFFER GIVES STRIKER UPDATE

Regis Le Bris has explained that an exit for Nazariy Rusyn is on the cards this month, and spoke about what he would look for in an ideal striker. He also gave praise to Sunderland's young star Eliezer Mayenda after the forward scored the winner against Derby Couny last night.


RUSYN LEFT OUT OF SQUAD

“It is possible something could happen there (with Rusyn). We are having many conversations at the minute about his journey and the options we could find for him. As I have said before, it is very important to combine the two ideas – the purpose of the club and the team, and the purpose of the player. Sometimes, some of the players need minutes, and I think, for him, it could be a good opportunity to do something different.”


IDEAL STRIKER

“We have many young players, and for someone like Eli, they need experiences to grow. Obviously, in an ideal world, we would like to have (forward) players who are tall and fast, with a good technique and good finishing. In a perfect world, you want someone who can do everything."


MAYENDA IMPRESSIVE

“But we have to build these players. The players we have are talented, but they need time and experiences to grow. Eli is getting that, and he is doing well.”


GOOD WIN

“It was a big win, an important win for our journey. It was a tough game. We had the opportunity to score a second goal, but we didn’t and with their back three and wide players, it was difficult to press and apply pressure on their first ball."


TALKING TACTICS

"I think after the first 15 minutes, the formation worked well. We were good in that part of the game, and Eli scored in that position so it was positive from that perspective. After that, it was a bit more difficult and we lost a bit of control in the middle of the pitch. When we have two strikers, we have one less player in the middle. Halfway through the second half, we decided to make a change and play with three midfielders again, and I think it was better for us. At the end, it was a good choice.”
