Against Leicester, Dick Advocaat's face said it all. The 'Little General' must have been wondering why he agreed to another season at the Stadium Of Light, because it sure looks like being a tough one. Escaping by the skin of their teeth from relegation over the past few campaigns, Sunderland looked like losers at the weekend. There was nothing in their performance to suggest that they won't be in a similar position come May, which must already be worrying for Advocaat. At previous clubs like Glasgow Rangers and during various international posts, the manager has started well only to tail off towards the end of his tenure. That's something that must be of concern to Sunderland fans going forward. When Sunderland went 3-0 to Leicester on Saturday, there was little in the way of a rallying call from Advocaat. In many respects, the Dutchman looked pretty helpless, clueless as to how he could turn things around. The game was lost, and it was all about stopping things from getting worse.
