Not the best way to sign off ahead of the international break, but zoom out and the picture is still very much rosy.

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we chew over the remains of the 2-2 draw at The Stadium of Light yesterday. It was the archetypal game of two halves - the second half as good as the first half was poor. It definitely feels like two points dropped, but this Sunderland team is very capable of taking points off the very best. That said, we created more than enough to win the game. So, why didn't we? Why were we so poor in the first half? Why did we take the foot off the pedal after 74 minutes and Trossard's wonder strike? Why did we make only one change? What other changes should we have made? How much did we miss our injured players? Plenty of questions we deliberate over - enjoy, and please like, share, comment, as you see fit, thank you!
