You'll see here, there's five red and white shirts there.
None of them really able to do anything about it.
The two centre-halves, I speak about them.
I want to give the credit first to the goal, because Sanchez knows exactly what he's doing here.
He drops it, makes the goalkeeper dive, you can see, puts his left foot to the side of the ball and flicks it in beautifully.
That's great.
But the two centre-halves have to look at themselves.
I know John O'Shea went off early and Diliboji came on.
They've got to look at themselves.
They're meant to be the force that this thing is built on.
Thierry spoke about Arsenal being a force now because their two centre-halves are looking the part and they can build on everything from that.
Those two centre-halves, they were, I don't want to say bullied, they were soft-centred today.
They had no sense of danger.
But worse than that, they had no pride in their leadership.
And they just did what they had to do at the time, or they felt that they had to do, and that was nowhere near good enough.
David Moyes will get criticism.
There'll be lots of criticism flying about here.
But without that spirit that Sunderland teams have had, they're at nothing, and they might as well revert to a game that will make it easier on them.
Yes, there is.
I think he's the man that's in the job, but they're at nothing changing that.
