Sunderland boss David Moyes dismisses poor Anfield record
Friday 25 November 2016 12:44, UK
Sunderland manager David Moyes has dismissed the fact he has never won at Anfield as a manager ahead of the Black Cats fixture with Liverpool.
In his time as manager of Everton and Manchester United, Moyes visited Anfield some 13 times without victory.
Sunderland have also failed to win at Anfield since 1983, but Moyes was spiky in his reaction when quizzed about his record there.
"It's always easy to pull out stats isn't it? For you people to say when we last won but all I can say is that we won last week against Hull City and that was an important thing for us," said Moyes.
"We go into the game after a couple of good victories and hopefully going to go to Anfield and do the same again.
"It's always been tough, They've always had really good, incredible teams at Liverpool.
"The periods at Everton when we played them it was always tough to beat them but I think if you look we had a lot of draws there, we didn't always lose.
"I know people say that but we didn't and fortunately enough during my last two seasons in charge at Everton we finished above them so that tells you that we must have done okay."
Sunderland come into the game off the back of crucial back-to-back wins against Bournemouth and Hull City, either side of the international break.
Liverpool have been playing some eye-catching stuff this season under Jurgen Klopp though, and are currently just one point off the top.
Moyes was under no illusions as to how Sunderland will approach the game.
"Anybody who plays against Liverpool has to park the double-decker bus, but we also have two centre forwards scoring goals.
"You can't kid yourself on. They're in good form and are a good team and if you offered me a draw I'd shake your hand now and say thanks."
