Porter: Sunderland successfully suppresses the atmosphere at home in the first half. Defensive in the penalty area should be done better

August 17 Sunderland 3-0 West Ham coach Porter was interviewed by BBC Sports.

He said: "I am satisfied with the team's performance in the first half. We did a great job and successfully suppressed the opponent's home atmosphere. But we started a bit slow in the second half."

"We gave the home team too many opportunities in the second half, which made us have a difficult afternoon. Especially in the second half, we need to carefully examine and improve. Goals changed the direction of the game, especially in this atmosphere. We need to handle these conceding goals better."

"The performance in the second half was not good enough, we had to improve and improve, and understand the problem. The score was really not ideal for us. For me, this is the basic skill of football, defending in the penalty area. We need to do better."
