Regis Le Bris must surely end bizarre experiment after recent Sunderland defeat the solution is ready and raring to go…
Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris should look to move past one recent unpopular tactical decision after the Hull City defeat.
Sunderland lost 1-0 to Hull City at the weekend, as Regis Le Bris lost his unbeaten home record at the Stadium of Light.
Boos rang around the Sunderland fans shortly after the full-time whistle blew, with many showing their disdain for the performance.
Notably, the game saw French boss Le Bris shape up with an unchanged side, despite admitting that his Sunderland side looked jaded during the game, which led to some substitutions being made early on.
One man who was replaced early on surprisingly was Enzo Le Fee, who had notched successive full games since his arrival from Roma, and the Hull City defeat was the first time he had been substituted at Sunderland.
Whilst it appeared to be a bizarre move from Le Bris to bring off one of his most revered talents, it may show that he has ended one experiment that will please many fans.

When Sunderland signed Le Fee on loan from Roma, there was plenty of anticipation over the impact he would have on Wearside. Whilst he was chucked straight into the side, starting against Burnley, he was shifted onto the left flank almost as a makeshift winger.
During his previous spell at FC Lorient, Le Bris used Le Fee through the centre, and unsurprisingly he thrived, notching 10 goal contributions in 35 Ligue 1 appearances.
