our team just looks like a bunch of guys thrown together

no synergy
 
The only way this changes is new owners and hopefully they can bring in a new manager, I was willing to give phelan a chance but this 451 ****e is bollocks even now at 1 nil down

I normally don't write on this forum during games. This time I will digress. I thought the toon game was bad against a good championship side. I can't believe we are sitting so deep and not seemingly bothered in trying to get the ball at all. Nearly the worst performance of the season. Boro with a decent forward would be 5/6 goals up by now.
 
Coming from someone who thinks playing as a lone striker is tactically no different to playing as one of two? You clearly don't know a thing about football

There is no effort at all to close down u fool

Regardless of your formation obsession , lone striker or not you still close down, il make it simple are lone strikers exempt from closing down? Its like talking to a ball

It's the same every game. Even Southampton should have been well clear. Not sure how we nicked that one
 
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
Fischer for them cost 4 million quid.
Weve got Livermore Hudd and Mason ex England internationals all costing more. Henriksen cost more.
So stop with all the bollocks.
**** tactics with players not playing . FACT They have nothing we cant compete against.

No effort to close down? Have you ever played football? Surprisingly running around non stop is actually quite tiring :emoticon-0148-yes:

I agree to an extent but what I can't abide and find absolutely disgraceful is the blatant lack of effort and desire shown by this group of players! It's one thing to get beat but to get beat showing no desire at all is unforgivable

Utter bollocks. Someone says it every time we lose. Same with every group of fans.

Yes I haven't been critical of Phelan until tonight

Even before the game when the interviewer asked MP are these the games you need to win he didn't say yes - the only ****ing answer is yes.

Our goal difference is going to be irrelevant so we may as well push forward Mike!!!!! Especially Middlesbrough away ffs
