00:00It was a poor weekend in the Championship for Middlesbrough as they lost 3-0 at Vicarage Road against Watford, with Rob Edwards describing it as a difficult day.
00:10We got punished in the moments that exactly what we'd spoken about and worked on the last couple of days, which is really frustrating.
00:17That bit's tough to take. So, their fast attacks, their counter-attacking moments, their first goal, we're in a really good position ourselves to make something happen and then get punished quickly.
00:28And then a switch of play from a throw-in. And the biggest message was managing those two moments in a game with their speed and their quality with individuals that got in those transitions.
00:42We were decent in lots of areas, but then the final third wasn't quite there.
00:52Timing of when to get a shot off or the actual finish itself.
00:56So, yeah, really difficult day. And then the third one, I think, is offside, but, you know, the timing of that one and, you know, with that going in, it just sort of looked like it was going to be their day.
01:05And, you know, we tried then. We tried to completely shake it up and find a way to get back in the game, but often puffed.
01:13And Sunderland head coach Regis Libris has spoken about his side being in the spotlight for all the right reasons in the Premier League at present, as they prepare to take on Everton at the Stadium of Light in their next fixture.
01:26Another game is still a new story. So I don't think that any opponent so far thought that it was easy to win against a Premier League team, because at that level, you know that you will face many good players.
01:43But probably if you are in this part of the table, the opponent tries to start to think that you should be really aware and alert that it will be tough. So we'll see.
01:58And just finally, for me, what do Everton bring? What's their biggest strength?
02:02Oh, they have many strengths. Strong wingers, the ability to go direct. They defend properly. They are strong on set pieces. So another tough challenge, yeah.
