He opened the scoring in the 32nd minute, giving Sunderland a 1–0 lead before the Black Cats were pegged back and lost 2-1. Isidor was restored to the starting line-up against Swansea City at the Stadium of Light on Saturday and had the ball in the back of the net following Dan Neil’s through ball only to be flagged offside by the linesman. The attacker also failed to beat the offside trap on several more occasions, adding to a frustrating afternoon as the Black Cats lost 1-0 at home.
“It was tough,” Isidor said after the game against Swansea City. “We were really disappointed about losing that game. We started well, but after we missed some tempo in some passes, also in our construction and in everything.
We missed a bit of aggressively, but I think that's something that we can get better for the next four games. I just hope it's going to help us to get better and better. Advertisement Advertisement “I think about my offside, it's a connection with my teammates.
I'm trying to get the space every time, or they can drive in, or they can give me the ball. Today the ref was really on it. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not.
I just can't say it's frustrating. Most important now is to keep fresh our group, and prepare for the important game that we are going to have in May. Yeah, that's it.
” Asked about wanting to bounce back against Bristol City and Blackburn Rovers , Isidor added: “Yeah, of course. They are two good teams. Now we just want to win every game.
So that's difficult to accept a game like today when we lose, and we started good. So yeah, we're going to prepare it in the best way. I think it's starting from the training.
We need to get better every day in training.” Your next Sunderland read: 'Embarrassing for seasons' - Sunderland fans split over potential plans to move Stadium of Light away support.
