Sunderland's start to the season has been even worse than Wigan's. They lost their opener 3-1 to Charlton, then lost 1-0 to Liverpool and lost 2-1 to Man City mid week. They showed a much improved performance against Man City though. They battled throughout the second half and maybe should have got a point for their efforts.
