Image:Sung-Yeung Ki: scored against Liverpool - can he do it again against West Ham?
Niall Quinn says Sunderland's shot-shy players must stop letting down their manager at home, starting against against West Ham.
Performances
Sunderland have scored just 13 goals at home all season and Quinn, who played more than 200 times for Sunderland and scored 61 times, says their strikers have let them down too often.
But he said the performances of Ki and the recalled Connor Wickham at Anfield have given the supporters a reason to be optimistic.
Quinn added: "They've got Ki, who has shown against Liverpool he might be the one. He has scored some important goals already and looks like the type of player who might just kick on now and be the one that leads them.
"There's even Wickham. I thought he did okay against Liverpool and Steven Fletcher may come back.
"But it's all about these home games. They have to approach them differently to all of the other games this season.
"They have got to go and win them."
