Sunderland boss David Moyes: 'More pressure from media than supporters'

Sunderland manager David Moyes says that he feels more pressure from the media that the supporters.

Sunderland manager David Moyes has claimed that the majority of pressure on his job comes from the media rather than the supporters.

The 53-year-old, who was appointed as Sam Allardyce's successor in July, has failed to pick up a win in the Premier League so far this season.

The Black Cats are at the bottom of the table on just two points following two draws and six defeats.

The club's chief executive Martin Bain recently claimed that Moyes will be given time to get things right at the Stadium of Light, and the man himself has insisted that he has the backing of the fans.

"I spoke with a lot of supporters this week. I think they understand what's required," Moyes told reporters. "The bigger pressure is from you boys (the media). The supporters have been excellent.

"There's pressure on every manager to get points, whether you're Sunderland or you're Pep [Guardiola] at Man City. I've been at the other end, too - I know what it's like."

Sunderland will face West Ham United at the London Stadium on Saturday.
