Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini has criticised "anonymous performances" in Sunderland's loss at Oxford United.
"We are huffing and puffing and not really getting anywhere at the moment. It's a very difficult watch," he told BBC Radio Newcastle.
"There was some moments. We probably deserved a goal from the sort of chances and half-chances we had in the first half."
Sunderland have long secured their place in the Championship play-offs while Gary Rowett's side sealed their safety from relegation with Saturday's result.
"It was a huge game for Oxford," Gabbiadini added.
"I think they did a job on us in that they were very physical.
