Eddie Howe says “blame me” after derby defeat to Sunderland:

🗣️ “Very painful, painful for supporters. They're the ones I'm thinking of. Very little to use as an excuse. We expect to be criticised so I understand the reaction at the end.

🗣️ “I'm fully committed to the job. I'm disappointed with my delivery today and this week. Today was even tougher than Barcelona.

🗣️ “I absorb the blame — I won't be deflecting it to players until my last breath. It’s going to be a painful few days for me.

🗣️ “It’s not a head loss. Our technical delivery was off today. We missed our midfielders, so it left us unbalanced. We made the game too much like they wanted it.

🗣️ “We never want to go through a hostile reception from crowd. I understand the criticism.”
