Jake: ‘Sixer does it in seven words, no more, no less – unless he miscounts’

Few Sunderland games pass without Pete Sixsmith registering his seven-word summary. After tonight’s exit from the league cup, he offered a number of versions: ‘Lacked pace, tempo and imagination. Otherwise fine’ … ‘keeper beaten twice at his near post’ … ‘disillusionment setting in already.

  1. There are goal keepers with better stats than Altidore. What the hell is he doing at the club other than robbing us of cash?
