Poyet can't explain Cup form
Sunderland boss Gus Poyet can't explain why things are clicking for them in Cup competitions.
Tuesday night’s Capital One Cup win for Sunderland was their first overManchester United for 20 games. And manager Poyet, whose side are bottom of the league, was at a loss to explain their excellent cup form.
He said: "It is something I need to find out why we beat top teams and are so clinical in the cup and can’t do the same in the league. That’s my job.
"Are we favourites? No chance. They have Rooney and van Persie to come back. We are in a better situation but playing Man U away, anything can happen and we need another very good performance."
