The story in brief
31-second readSunderland's struggles continued with a 2-0 defeat by Bournemouth, their fourth consecutive Premier League loss, leaving them second bottom in the table, according to BBC Sport. Nordi Mukiele attributed the struggles to possibly being 'arrogant'.
Sunderland's performance has significantly dropped from last season, with only four points in seven games this term, compared to 11 points in seven games last season. They conceded 14 goals, more than double their previous tally after seven games.
Sunderland head coach Regis le Bris expressed disappointment, stating they were 'below the level' and it's 'not acceptable'. Mukiele believes they need to work hard to return to their previous form, as they are not doing enough in training.

"Arrogant" and "not good enough". Nordi Mukiele offered a brutally honest verdict about why Sunderland have struggled so far this season, following their impressive return to the Premier League last term. The Black Cats defender had his say after a 2-0 defeat by Bournemouth on Sunday. It was Sunderland's fourth Premier League loss in a row and leaves them second bottom in the table. Only those inside the club can answer Mukiele's "arrogant" claim after the Black Cats' drop-off in results and performance. They surprised everyone last season by qualifying for the Europa League at the first time of asking after eight years away from the top flight.
