Roy Keane's reaction to Sunderlannd's defeat at Stoke.

"Their keeper had one save to make, in the second half from
Kenwyne Jones."
"You have to earn the right to win a game of football and
we didn't do that. We started badly and we knew it was going to
be a long night."
"We had a decent spell just after half-time and then after
we had gone behind but it was too late by then."
"I made one change - maybe it should have been a few
more."
"We had plenty of time to recover from the Newcastle game.
When you start the game as slowly as we did, you are inviting
trouble."
"Our passing was poor, that was the biggest disappointment,
our movement was poor and we didn't express ourselves. It was
probably our worst performance of the season."
"Bardo [Phil Bardsley] has done well and I decided to play
him, maybe I should have made a few more changes. We never
performed and we deserved nothing from the game, no excuses."
"The one bonus would be Kenwyne - he looked sharp, both
going forward and defensively; he would be the big plus.
He's making it hard for me to leave him out. How close
is Kenwyne to a start? About two-and-a-half days."
