Another set piece. Sigh.

Frustrating that Ramirez has suddenly grown up after leaving us and started heading the ball and tackling and stuff, but even so, with centre backs like we've got we really shouldn't be conceding from a corner every bloody week. It's about the only strength we've got, or rather it should be.

He was doing that whilst he was here I haven't seen many players transform so much over the course of a single season like he did. He was a real asset in the final quarter/third of the season but was wasted playing up front.
 
And that's been our biggest weakness for years. 4 on 2 in the box and nothing comes of it. We never seem to convert a promising opening into a clear cut chance.
 
First to say it but Jak woulda saved that...

We're getting paggered in midfield yet we dont bring Meyler on to get a foot in...
 
surprise so many said we would win before the game lol

we are an utter embarrassment
 
I'm pinning all of this on phelan. He can **** right off, don't even get on the coach. You'd think we are away to ****ing Chelsea the way we are set up

People say this as if we should be able to just go and compete with Boro regardless of how **** we actually are. We're like a Championship side on paper. They spent ****ing millions in the summer. Our best striker couldn't get into our Championship team last season.

With this squad, us being away to anyone is equivalent to a normal PL team being away to Chelsea
 
I was listening to Talksport on the way home from work, Paddy Power was on talking about relegation odds, he said we were favourites at 4/11, I thought 'don't talk like a twat', I now think those odds are generous after watching this bollocks!
