Sunderland Defender Admits Lack of Creativity a 'Big Problem' As Black Cats Brace for Relegation

Sunderland right-back Adam Matthews believes that the Black Cats' lack of creativity has been their Achilles' heel this season despite manager Chris Coleman helping to sure things up at the back.

The Wales international claimed that on another day their 1-0 defeat to QPR could have gone in their favour, insisting that a red card for Jason Steele didn't help the relegation-threatened side's cause.

"We didn’t create much, really, and that’s something we need to look at but in the first half we limited them to hardly anything," Matthews said, quoted by the Sunderland Echo.
