Fulop hoping to keep place
Sunderland goalkeeper Marton Fulop hopes his mistake in the 2-0 defeat at Liverpool does not lead to the axe for the clash with Tottenham.
The former Spurs shot-stopper was at fault for the Reds' second at Anfield on Wednesday night as he could only palm David Ngog's cross into the path of a grateful Yossi Benayoun.
Fulop's recent form has been keeping the fit-again Craig Gordon on the sidelines, but he knows manager Ricky Sbragia may be tempted to make changes after his midweek gaffe.
"I will have to look at the video to judge exactly what happened with the second goal," Fulop told the Sunderland Echo.
"I don't know if I should have stayed on my line or perhaps punched it. I tried to catch the cross, but it was a bit too long.
"I misjudged it and Liverpool scored. This is the goalkeeper's life.
"It is the manager's decision now for Spurs. I will prepare like I'm number one and am playing.
"If he wants to change it, I will have to deal with that. But I felt good in the game last night.
"I made a mistake and, against a good team particularly, it costs you."
Despite blotting his copybook with his second-half blunder, Fulop had kept Sunderland in the match earlier on as he produced an excellent stop to keep out an effort from Albert Riera.
The Hungary international added: "It was a good reaction and I was happy with that, but you expect to have to make saves when you go to a place like Anfield.
"We have progressed in the last few weeks, so we are disappointed not to get something from this game."
