If he was on 3-4 yr contract in last Prem season then after two relegations in successive seasons he'd be on that much. If he doesn't have a relegation reduction clause he'd still be on that contract and why would he leave - no-one else will give him that much and if Sunderland have to pay him...

Burge 8 Two fantastic saves. Maybe set up the wall a bit wrong for the free kick that hit the bar. Brown 6 Not really on long enough to have a good or bad game Willis 7 Did well in the centre and coped well when pushed out into unfavoured RB spot Hyam 7 Unlucky to be booked early on but dealt...

Yes, the top players do get paid grossly inflated wages for something of no consequence, but at the same time if the money is coming into the game why shouldn't the players be the biggest beneficiaries? Stuff like this brings out the worst in people - everyone has worked with someone that pissed...

Agree with all this apart from Bayliss. Tried dribbling too often and lost the ball and had a couple of chances to play striker in and ran instead.

Willis has never look particularly comfortable at full back and with Thomas he wasn't going to get much cover. I think his greater experience now helps him cover for his deficiencies in the position now, but I don't think he'll be there too often if it can be helped.

Only worry is the changing weather. We don't seem to like playing in the cold and rain.

If you ignore the fact he should've been off before half time.... Either keeper for me, or JCH.

You do feel we're not far off in this league. Mid table and nowhere near playing the kind of football I reckon we're capable of.

Did it?

Good game. Maybe on balance of chances we should've won.

Extra touch from Bayliss just gave defender chance to get in. Should've hit it first time

What a chance! Why did he stopped chasing it in?

Great save!

Willis looks like he might be struggling slightly to me

Would you really want either of Jones or Thomas in front of Sterling? I think it's striking a balance and it's not like Thomas was running the game.

A bit, but also they've started to push forward a bit more since the equaliser.

Really want him to get sent off for handling the ball.....

Sterling beaten for pace, unlucky slip, great save by Burge

Not a great clearance by Sterling there

GOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!!! JCH totally deserved that. Good by Sterling closing down.
