Now weve got only one in the squad and it is very difficult.Sunderland manager Roy Keane; Tottenham had a right go at us, as youd expect in Adam Erne Jersey the second half, but we maybe just about edged it. The good sign is I think theres a lot more to come from this team.Gus Poyet was, of course, Michal Kempny Jersey referring to Dimitar Berbatov who was left out of the squad by Juande Ramos, who claimed that he was not in the right frame of mind to play.
