"Everyone knows his duty, everyone knows the potential and quality of our team.[LNB]"We have to start games well. Birmingham put a lot of pressure on us and did well, but we did not try to play the football we can.[LNB]"We must learn about that and change the mentality and keep our level for many games, not just one or two.[LNB]"It is not the first time this season we have dipped like this.[LNB]"We must learn from that for the future because it is going to be a hard season if we cannot change what is not good in our team."[LNB]Sunderland take on Villa at the Stadium of Light looking to get back to winning ways, before playing West Ham in the league at the weekend.[LNB]And Cana has called on all of his team-mates to give their all for the cause and take responsibility for a poor result on Saturday.[LNB]"The Premier League is a hard league and we have to be 100 per cent concentrated and 100 per cent committed; we all know that."[LNB]
