Sunderland goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon says their home record is not good enough.

Gus Poyet's side have won only once this season at home in the Premier League, against Stoke in October.

Pantilimon said: "It's true that Sunderland fans have not seen enough wins, especially at home. They are with us all the time and it is difficult for them, but they have to stay close to us. We hope to improve.

"We can do a lot better than this. We have to work hard to improve on that performance in the future. We must do better.

"I can't say why we've won so few games this season. When we beat Newcastle that was a good game and I said then that we must continue to play like that. We haven't done that. That's what we've got to get back to.

"The last two games have been very difficult against two teams in form, Manchester City and Liverpool, but at home we've got to do much better.

"It is frustrating for all of us, because we know that we can do so much better. I think we understand what we can do to improve it.

"We are all upset and disappointed. That is normal. It is not a good moment for us because it feels like we can do so much more. This is football. We have to realise that we have quality and we have to use it."
