Match Day Thread Middlesbrough FC v Sunderland AFC – Sunday 4th February 2024 - KO 12:00

Can’t disagree. Just don’t see any reason the persist with him. Lethargic.

 

Aye Middlesbrough have just been better than us. No complaints about the reffing from me.

 

Agreed although my main issue with him is his weakness and inability to control it more than work rate. Rusyn has him beat in every area.

 

We wouldn’t pass him the ball anyway

 

Rusyn has offered more in the 5 mins he's been in than Burstow in the whole match

 

Yes that’s what we want what’s he saving his energy for like? Tonight?

 

Exactly what we need. Put yourself about.

Shame LON isn’t a striker cos with his mentality and his heart he’d do that.

 

He couldn't be quite as effective though if he was booked when he should have been! Cause he is a niggle little ****er in his closing down.

 

“Lovely ball from Luke Ayling” rolls out fir a throw!

 

They have , we don't want to know

 

Could put Lewandowski in this team and the ****er wouldn’t get a sniff

 

It's just been ****e.

A total waste of a second half. Weak.

 

Jobe is so passive.

 

We’ve gone from an exciting young and aggressive side to this in a matter of weeks. The contrast is massive.

 

We've gone flat. Need a leader to drag them up. Seriously lacking one tho.

 

Wonder if he’s related to Barry Bannan?

 

The decision for the free kick for the goal was disgraceful but no excuses can be made for the second half performance by the manager and the team

 

Not sure we have had a single attempt or touch in the opposition box, the entire second half.

 

Finally

 

We haven’t. They’ve stepped up and we haven’t matched it. Been terrible
