Match Day Thread Middlesbrough FC v Sunderland AFC – Monday 3rd February 2025 - KO 20:00

Playing ****. Body language is weak and once again , no wing play makes it too easy to play against. Wouldn't mind some of our CM getting a boot in. Just moping about so far. 09 just strolling out of position.

Lucky we are not 2 or 3 down. Won't keep getting away with it.

 

Too slow. Too timid.

 

Balls through the middle are killing us

 

wasted on the left

if he plays central he’s playing balls like azaz to isidor

 

wake up lads FFS

 

Very poor start this mind there just ghosting past us all over the pitch

 

We are far too open, big spaces between the lines for them to drop into and not enough pace in the side to hurt them

 

Shìte this. Settle for play offs the way we're going lately.

 

Desperate for some width and pace outwide

 

Should really have been a yellow for Cirkin that

 

We need to find some bite here

they’re at the races and treating it like a derby

 

Lucky to still be in this need to wake up and quickly

 

Mayenda on the left with ELF in the middle for Rigg has to be better than this. He looks wasted out there he’s barely getting a touch

 

These constantly seem to have a man spare, is it due to a mismatch in formations or are we just way off the pace?

 

Dan Neil is fuming he is screaming at people.

He sees it.

 

Can we please, please STOP FCKING PASSING OUT FROM THE BACK

 

if you’re prepared to show horn him left I don’t know why he can’t be shoe horned central

 

**** me this passing from the back is a bit too close for comfort

 

We're second best ATM. Lucky we didn't go two down there.

 

not even sure we’re second best
