AFTER handing John O’Shea a two-year contract extension at the age of 33 this week, Gus Poyet has urged more players to take a leaf out of the defender’s book. O’Shea’s impressive start to the season was rewarded on Thursday when he signed a deal that will keep him at the Stadium of Light until 2017. The Black Cats captain will have celebrated his 36th birthday by then, but while Sunderland’s decision to hand him a deal that length might have raised an eyebrow or two, Poyet believes the club is seeing the best of the defender - and team-mate Wes Brown - at the moment. “They know the game better and know what is coming,” the Black Cats boss said. “The fitness is the difficult part to keep and to keep it week in and week out. That’s something only some can do and I think John does it better than Wes. It depends on how you cope with that side of the game.
