Though Sunderland's hopes of Premier League survival have evaporated, they had their say in the battle to beat the drop by securing a 2-0 win at Hull City on Saturday. I felt our players had a bit of tension, too much anxiety, and you need to be calm in the game to play with shape and energy.
Losing to Sunderland meant the surrender of his own 41-game home unbeaten streak in management, with the loss somewhat embarrassing given the opposition had nothing to play for. "Now, it is different and we can pick ourselves up to get the results we need".
"If we had been a little bit more prolific in front of goal it might have changed things".
It is easy to see why the Sunderland goalkeeper is one of the most sought-after young English talents around.
According to a report in Honduran newspaper Diez, after suffering knock-backs on their supposed interest in Sunderland's Jordan Pickford and Jermain Defoe, Newcastle United have lowered their sites and are interested in a summer swoop for left-back Bryan Oviedo.
Elmohamady added: "It is a long way back, but he is a great lad and seeing him back was great".
Having taken 19 points from a possible 21 at home during his four months as Hull boss, it was a shock to the Portuguese coach when his side fell behind in the 69th minute.
Kushner Cos says to skip China marketing push this weekend
Office-sharing company WeWork confirmed this week that it is canceling plans to lease space as an anchor tenant. A promotional Chinese website had previously advertised Meyer's appearance at an event in Shenzhen on Saturday.
It was Hull's first home defeat under manager Marco Silva, who rued costly lapses in concentration but put on a courageous face ahead of what will be a tense home straight.
Striker Oumar Niasse is set to start again up front and admitted he is relishing his time at the KC Stadium after Silva ended his disappointing spell at Everton by making him one of his first signings in January. If only Sunderland could keep them both.
The hosts immediately drove at the Sunderland backline but Pickford made a stunning reflex save from Hernandez's near-post shot and, as desperation sapped Hull's composure in the closing stages, Defoe stole in to convert Sebastian Larsson's free-kick and shatter Silva's air of home-field invincibility.
However, Silva suggested that his team will look to put the poor result behind them during the coming week. "Nothing is finished this afternoon".
"I think Jordan is a big, big talent, I really do".
David Moyes side played without pressure - as you would do when relegation has already been confirmed - and George Honeyman should have given them the lead early on but the midfielder headed a good chance wide.
