Half-time, and I don't really have much to tell you.

Sunderland haven't really threatened. Rayo look dangerous on the break...

Sunderland looked really poor today against Hearts, who have played four competitive games already. Their campaign has already started.

No need for panic stations imo. Four friendlies to get up to speed, and hopefully some new signings soon.

Wasn't great, though!

Half-time at Tynecastle and Sunderland haven't really been at the races. Poor opening 45 from Le Bris' men.

Good defensive display by a makeshift team in the second half against top opposition without offering too much offensively.

Sunderland's first string played well during the opening 45. Think you can file that in the "good run out" category of pre-season games.

This game is being played very much at a pre-season pace imo.

Sunderland have done well enough and have created some decent chances. Would like to see Mayenda sharpen up.

Noah Sadiki and Jenson Seelt are the standouts for me. Le Fee is also just a lovely footballer to watch.

Sunderland's second-half starting XI, only Simon Moore remains from the opening 45.

Tidy half from Sunderland, who are worth their lead and could have scored more.

Sadiki can absolutely run and has played well alongside Le Fee and Diarra. Adringra a real livewire.

Seelt looking good alongside Ballard, Huggins also having a good game.

Thoughts?

Sunderland's starting XI to face Sevilla. Le Bris expected to change the whole team at half-time.

Absolutely over the moon with this. Thank you to Clive Tyldsley for sending me one over.

I’ll drop a link in the replies if you’d like one yourself!

Four-year deal and big financial commitment.

The whole Le Fee deal felt like a step-up in the club's ambition under Kyril Louis-Dreyfus.

It paid off with promotion at Wembley.
