Match Day Thread Middlesbrough v Sunderland - Sunday 5th November - KO 12:15

Catts having a pleasant Sunday afternoon stroll out there

 

Williams is giving us something going forward. He should have been on 10mins earlier.

 

Why can't our managers see what a threat McManaman is.

 

He would have been perfect today with his work rate and passion. Plus he's a good player!

 

I mean I like Honeyman but he's not as good as Mac yet he's the one brought on.

 

Toothless, not a single shot on target since we went behind.

 

Think Macca's performance against Bolton went against him today

 

So frustrating. The amount of times someone gets the ball going forward and almost every single time I hear myself say ‘help him out’ or ‘where’s the support’. There’s never a bloody option for whoever it is.

 

It' because he has been at the club since he was 10. The lad is ****. Simple.

 

It's the two DM obsession every manager since and including Poyet has been obsessed with imo, it offers no support down the center.

 

Can't even look dangerous trying to apply pressure right at the end

 

Watching that was like watching Newcastle ****.

 

Can't win a single one of those headers from Matthews' throws. Jump you useless ****s.

 

Swap the DM for a CM/AM. 4-1-4-1 for me, every time.

 

Same

 

Lazy twats that's what they are strolling about in injury time, I bet the other way round The Boro would have come here and beat us. How frigging bad can they get.

 

I've been working on a list of positives to cheer us up and here it is in its entirety:

1. Matthews is better than Jones.

 

2. Bain can eliminate the two caretakers and O'shea from the shortlist.

 

I thought we played well first half - we just can't seem to play well for the whole game.

 

Never troubled Randolph after the first 10 mins.

Was fairly easy for Boro in the end.

 

Yikes: We sound much better on SAFC Radio. We lack size, speed, aggression and skill on the ball. Billy Jones was in position, knew where his boy was, knew where he was headed, and still couldn't make the play. We need big, fast, mean bastards - who can beat their man 1v1.
