*~*~* Middlesbrough v Sunderland match thread *~*~*


Honestly no idea how Burstow keeps his place, even scoring the last game, it was a knock in from 2ft and otherwise he did nothing all game.

Rusyn scored 2 in the U21 match with another rules offside, he’s scored for the first team also, he grafts and runs the opposition cbs ragged on attack. And above all he’s actually our player. How the hell is Burstow getting in ahead of him?!
He looks okay when he actually touches the ball (Burstow), but he looks scared and touches the ball about 3 times a game. Played a good though ball to Ba but can’t actually remember him touching the ball any other time. He needs to stop being scared and get himself involved and force things himself
 
BA and Hume are the only partnership we have going for us out there. Need to see more evidence of Beale's top quality coaching at teamwork level.
 
Goodman has made the very valid point that he's the only one in the box. We simply need more runners from midfield to support.
Thing is our midfield is poor, Boro cut through from our midfield with ease, full of non tacklers. Cattermole get your boots on.
