Cisse refusing to panic
Djibril Cisse is confident Sunderland can avoid slipping through the Premier League trapdoor this season.[LNB] The Black Cats have slumped alarmingly down the table in recent weeks and sit just three points above the drop zone.[LNB]With just nine games remaining, time is running out for those sides looking to secure their top flight status for next term.[LNB]Sunderland know their fate is in their own hands, though, and Cisse insists no-one at the Stadium of Light is panicking just yet.[LNB]"There are a lot of points still, so we can still turn the situation," said the Frenchman.[LNB]"But yes, it's annoying to not score goals, it's annoying to not win games, to be 1-0 up and in the last minute, concede a goal.[LNB]"It is annoying but there are a lot of games and still a lot of time.[LNB]Victory"It's a matter of one game. We need a victory and the I think we would be back to the right way and start winning games again.[LNB]"But we need that game and we need it quickly."[LNB]Sunderland head to Manchester City on Sunday as their search for precious points continues.[LNB]Cisse expects the Blues to pose a tough test to Ricky Sbragia's side, but believes playing away from home will help to ease the weight of expectation on the Wearsiders' shoulders.[LNB]He said: "I don't think it is going to be easier to go there because City are really good at home.[LNB]"But maybe there will be less pressure because we are away and we don't have all the stadium behind us.[LNB]"But still, the pressure is going to be there."[LNB]
