    Sunderland AFC News And Banter Page:

    Sunderland manager Martin O’Neill has hailed David Meyler’s sunny outlook after seeing the midfielder make his full international debut. Meyler played the full 90 minutes for his native Republic of Ireland against Oman on Wednesday evening to earn his first senior cap.

    It was a particularly sweet moment for the 23-year-old, who has battled back from two serious injuries to bounce back on to the first-team scene at Sunderland.

    But his team-mates will have been just as delighted with O’Neill rating Meyler amongst the most popular figures on the playing staff. He said: “David is a great character in the dressing room and on the training field – he’s always got a smile on his face. “Even I’m feeling grumpy myself, it’s hard to imagine him being anything other than appreciative of the footballing life. “He’s had a torrid time with injuries so it’s great to see him doing well. “David is one of the most popular players in the dressing room, and I think deservedly so.”

    Who do you rate more highly - Meyler or Colbeck?

    I think they are in direct competition for a midfield place

    Meyler was looking great before his injuries, so I still have very high hopes for the lad.

    Got to agree with the rest and go for Colback/Colbeck how ever you spell it, Meyler hopefully will come good but it is taking a lot more time than I think we have.

    I think Meyler has more about his game than Colbeck. Colbeck has a better engine

    Yep. Two very different players who could complement each other but Jack needs to score more/build confidence in the final third to really progress

    Definately Meyler - I saw Colbeck for Grimsby last month and to be honest he didn't look great out wide.
