Sunderland boss Poyet: I told you Liverpool were mid-table

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet says he's been proven right about Liverpool this season.

Poyet believes his prediction about Liverpool being a "mid-table side" without Luis Suarez has been proven correct this term.

Speaking before yesterday's stalemate, Poyet explained: "People were very upset with me last year when I said that. A few hate me. But I was not going against Liverpool and Steven Gerrard, who is one of the icons of English football, it's just that I knew how good Luis is.

"He's so good he makes a difference. It's the same with Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo or Sergio Aguero."
