Sunderland striker Will Grigg has really struggled to hit the back of the net ever since arriving at the Stadium of Light.

Will Grigg of Sunderland during the Carabao Cup second round match between Burnley and Sunderland at Turf Moor on August 28, 2019 in Burnley, England.

Former Sunderland player Stephen Elliott has suggested that Will Grigg looks unhappy when on the pitch for the Black Cats now.

Grigg endured yet another miserable night in a Sunderland shirt yesterday, as Phil Parkinson’s side crashed out of the League Cup.

The Northern Irish striker missed a penalty, as his effort from 12 yards went over the bar, with his goalscoring woes continuing.

Grigg has scored just seven goals since arriving at Sunderland back in last January.

And Elliott thinks that Sunderland may now be best to cut their losses with the striker, as things do not appear to be working out for him on Wearside.

Sunderland’s penalty defeat last night means that Parkinson’s start at the Stadium of Light has been a rather slow one.

The Black Cats have won just one of Parkinson’s first four games in charge, with their away form poor.

Sunderland are next in action when they take on Southend United on Saturday.
