Eliezer Mayenda has started the season as [Sunderland's](https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/sunderland/) first choice striker and scored in the impressive opening day win over West Ham.
But he missed a glorious early chance at Burnley in a game Sunderland went on to lose, and failed to hit the net against Brentford last time out, not that that was a concern to Le Bris given his side won the game.

However, Wilson Isidor staked his claim for a Sunderland starting spot with a last gasp winner from the bench against Brentford, his second goal of the campaign after he also hit the net against West Ham.
And Sunderland have now also added Brian Brobbey to their ranks, with the Black Cats forking out in excess of £17m for the 23-year-old on deadline day.
Le Bris must now decide who leads the line when Sunderland return to action at Crystal Palace this weekend, but insists it will never be as clear cut as having a definitive pecking order.
He said: "We have two or three options in this position, so is it really important?"
Regardless of whether he starts at Selhurst Park or has to settle for a place on the bench, Le Bris retains full belief in Mayenda.
He said: “I'm confident, yes, 100 per cent, and I know that it won't be linear, it's always like that.
"Sometimes he will be confident, he can close his eyes and score, and it will be more difficult maybe sometimes, so just support him and trust him.
"If we think about last season, I think it happened like that. It started with one or two big chances, he didn't score. But finally, it was really good during the season.
"So a striker, a player in different positions, can make mistakes, or sometimes the goalkeeper can make a big save as well. Stay confident, support him, and I think it will be okay."
