Martin O'Neill has urged Sunderland supporters not to pile pressure on summer arrival Adam Johnson.
After seeing Sunderland take seven points from their six Premier League fixtures so far, O'Neill added: "We've made a solid start to the season and I'm not unhappy with it. "Defensively we've been solid but we need to be more effective in the final third and that's what we're all working on. "It's still the start of the season though and I know the squad will continue to improve as it progresses."
