Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat says he needs more from Lee Cattermole.

Advocaat has been unhappy with the midfielder's season start.

The Dutchman said: "I see him just as all the other players, part of the squad.

"The club made the decision to award him a new contract. He is from the region and did really well for me last season.

"When they asked me about him, I said if we can keep him let's do it, but the final decision was that of the club.

"He has to find last season's form, but that is not just Cattermole but the majority of the team. It is not only about Cattermole."
