Régis Le Bris upbeat on Sunderland finishing woes ahead of Manchester City trip | OneFootball

Régis Le Bris says he is not worried about Sunderland's lack of goals, arguing their chance creation is a positive as they prepare to face Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.

According to Sunderland Echo, the Black Cats have scored five goals in six matches this season, with three coming from the penalty spot or a direct free kick. Le Bris pointed to a recent run of hitting the post five times, which he feels suggests a turnaround could be close.

He described it as a process. Sunderland, he said, remain efficient without the ball, giving them a platform to compete, and they are creating more chances than ever. He cited Ousmane Dembélé's slow start last season before his goals arrived, adding he hopes for a similar swing.

Even so, Le Bris accepted they must be more clinical if they are to take anything from a tough assignment this weekend. Reflecting on the Arsenal match, he felt his side were competitive in several areas but warned that any weakness at this level is punished.

For him, the key is confidence and belief, as opportunities appear only in brief windows and must be taken.
