Sunderland midfielder Jack Colback is enjoying playing for manager Martin O'Neill.
Under O'Neill the Black Cats have won 11 of 18 games and Colback knows how he has done it.
He said: "He treats everyone like they're his best mate, that's why he gets so much out of us.
"For me, it can't come from anyone better than the manager giving you confidence and compliments on your game."
