Poyet: 'Sunderland out to beat Swansea
Gus Poyet has revealed that he will send his players out to get the win when they take on Swansea City in the Premier League this weekend.
The Uruguayan takes charge of the Black Cats for the first time on Saturday following his appointment last week
Poyet told the Sunderland Echo: “It’s a big contrast.
“We have a few problems. We’ve changed a manager, and we’ve got a new group of players.
“But at 3pm, it’s 11v11, one referee, two linesmen. It’s about what you do in those two hours.
“It doesn’t matter what’s happened before. Swansea are in a better balanced position. Yes they are, it’s true.
“But that doesn’t mean that they are going to win.
“We will go there to win. We need to win football games. We cannot go to places looking to get just one point.”
“I think they have the perfect approach,” added Poyet. “The club is balanced. They’ve changed manager, but they’ve tried to maintain that philosophy.
“That’s a big advantage for any manager who goes there.
“What a difference with Swansea as a club now.
“There’s a team who’ve been playing for five or six years in the same way and they’re slowly getting better and better.”
