Le Bris unhappy with Sunderland players after defeat at Fulham | OneFootball

Regis Le Bris says he was unhappy with the actions of his Sunderland players after their 1-0 defeat to Fulham.

Both teams clashed after the full-time whistle in a heated confrontation and Le Bris says that while it is not a big issue, he was not happy with what happened.

“For me it’s not important,” he said.

“I told the players I don’t like the fighting at the end. If you still have energy in your tank it means before we didn’t push hard enough. For me, it’s not a positive situation.”

Raul Jimenez scored a late winner to secure all three points for Fulham and Le Bris admits his side did not do the basics well enough.

“We managed OK in the first half but we were not proactive enough to change the momentum,” he said. “We had opportunities in the first part of second half but it wasn’t enough.

“We struggled to manage (the game) when they went long and we were not good enough to manage the duels.

“Basics are really important in football and if you don’t win this part at least 50-50, you can’t impose anything.

“We have to be at our best or the opponent can exploit their strengths. The level is high in the Premier League and everyone learns.”
