David Moyes: Sunderland's disastrous run of form making me feel lousy

Sunderland manager David Moyes has said his record at the club is "damning" after seeing them pick up only two points from their first 10 Premier League games.

The Black Cats were beaten 4-1 at home by Arsenal on Saturday, and former Everton and Manchester United boss Moyes said the run was making him "feel lousy."

Speaking about his record so far, he said: "It's damning, I agree.

"It does make me feel lousy, and I do. I don't feel good about it but you've got to take it. I probably spend Saturday night, and quite often, in a darkened room somewhere.

"Hopefully by the time Monday morning comes, you are ready to go again. You've got to get it out of the system and you are up and running again.

"You try not to get too caught up in the whole thing. I don't think we can do. If we were going in blasting every player, I don't think things will necessarily get any better."

He said he and his staff were trying to "train correctly, trying to put into practice what we think will be good for them."

The 53-year-old, whose next game is at Bournemouth on Saturday, said there was no doubt that Sunderland "are in a difficult situation" and added: "We need results to show that things are going in the right direction.

"Everybody is judging by results, but I don't feel that pressure from the people I work with."
