Very impressed to see the resurrection of Lee Cattermole over the last few games. In tribute I’ll be wearing black boots and pull my shorts up at 5 a side. #keepitup #safc

indeed … Sat in front of our defence, broke up play and was always there to win the ball back when we lost possession. Did a job on Thursday too … I’ve been a critic of his…. credit where it’s due

Thought cattermole was a complete waste of space and time but after the last 2 games im more than happy to be proven wrong, if it continues he’s more than capable of bossing the midfield in this league #Safc

Loved that performance today, Gooch and Oviedo far too good for this level and Lee Barry Cattermole ran the show. McGeouch, McGeady, Wyke and Watmore to come back into the XI, things can only get better. #SAFC

He looked steady away in the role he was given, we have to trust in Ross’ decision to start him and let his football do the talking! Did nothing wrong today

Was quick to criticise Cattermole last week for his performance, but he looked a different man this week. One of many in a Sunderland shirt who played well. That first 45 mins one of the best I’ve seen from a Sunderland team. Onwards and upwards! #SAFC

Lee Cattermole of Sunderland comes close with a header during the Sky Bet League One match between Luton Town and Sunderland at Kenilworth Road on August 11, 2018 in Luton, United Kingdom.

Cattermole has been on the books of Sunderland since the summer of 2009 when he joined from Wigan Athletic for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £6 million.

The former England Under-21 international has been linked with a move away from the Black Cats in the summer transfer window, with French club Bordeaux interested in the defensive midfielder, according to The Guardian.
