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

I think that's harsh. You don't get professional terms at a PL club without having some ability. This was the wrong move for him, he's not up to Championship football

 

Then for me he should be moved on. He shouldn't be taking the minutes of Sunderland owened players

 

And that, to me is the most important part. Above all else, if we don't get up this season he will be used to the league and ready to go from.the start of next season.

 

I don't mind that. He's trying to improve us and makes us more focused around the no.9

 

Greenwood on a professional level will be gutted his team didn't win, as a fan of Sunderland he'll be happy. Take Cattermole, played well and served us well for many a year, yet came across as a biased boro fan when he was supposed to be co presenting a national football show.

 

That's it mate. I think he replaced Clarke. So we need to get him minutes.

Without being horrible, I have worked with players like this. They struggle, very introvert, need help to express themselves.

 

I would agree with that. Was it WBA where he came on and played LW? Looked pretty comfortable on the ball. He's not a no.9

 

that's what I'm getting at bud, we can see it, he's seen it etc. Nice to hear to be honest

 

I hope he's finally twigged there's only one forward at the club he'll get that from.

 

For all the comparisons of mogga and beale at least the latter has got some goals out the strikers.

 

Rusyn plays like he's carrying some of Ukraine on his shoulders. The f**King disrespect that was shown today for his half volly, on target goal was pathetic from sky. At one point the tosser doing the interviews asked Clarke "was it, was it not going in". Boiled my piss sky today.

 

Post match was like a Middlesbrough Podcast. embarrassing

 

Lovely pass to Ba which should have led to a goal. He's obviously got ability, you don't get that far in Chelseas academy to not have, but mens competitive football appears a bit much for him at times and it hasn't helped that he's in and out of team. Maybe a lower level loan would have worked and then a championship club

 

It's sky I'm pissed off about. It means more to them that us, sky tried to sell it like it was a huge Derby when in reality, its just another game to most sunderland fans. I did laugh when the stadium went quiet like.

 

Disagree. He is one of the worst I have ever seen for us.

Hemir should get minutes ahead of him.

If he can not then he needs to be moved onn too

 

Would have Greenwood back on today's showing.

 

Burstow was poor today and didn’t move well, him and Greenwood were like night and day BUT his service was shocking when he did move.

 

I’ve seen absolutely nothing from him that suggests he’s better than what we own! Hemir has shown way more than him and he’s played a hell of a lot less football.

 

Nah he made no moves he was jogging round the pitch. He literally never made one burst of pace all game.

 

The football field today, and at the SoL, he was a complete bell end. Absolutely horrible. Might be nice kid off the field, but he’s certainly not one on it
