The Black Cats boss is using detailed Opta stats to monitor the work-rate of his squad - and wants all of them to be matching the prodigious 13km that the likes of Lampard and Gerrard routinely cover in games.
And that challenge has been tackled with relish by emerging midfield star Jordan Henderson, whose tigerish display against West Ham over the weekend confirmed his arrival as a Premier League performer.
