5. His Passion Is In A Different League To Some Other Players
Passion is a word that has been used a lot at The Stadium of Light in recent months, yet something that has been missing on the pitch. Former Head Coach Paolo Di Canio was probably the most passionate man in The Premier League, never mind on Wearside, but as we have seen, passion gets you nowhere without good football and results, which Sunderland were severely lacking under the Italian. Current Head Coach Gus Poyet may not show the most passion and desire, but his presence, similar to that under caretaker manager Kevin Ball too, in the Sunderland camp shows that the players want to play under the Uruguayan, and despite only playing three games this season, his presence on the pitch just shows that the mentality is a lot better and to have a head like Wes Brown can never be a bad thing.
