*~*~* Rotherham v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[Scotty 1978]

Lets go schoolboy tactics

Just give the ball to jack clarke

That’s all we’ve got

 

[hypersonic]

Can he?

Well if you believe in the data, he's scored 4 from an xG of 5.

He's also our best goal scorer per 90 after Clarke.

 

[Lord Nigle]

Boro may have just had the miss of the season

No. That was Ba against Coventry…

 

[arthursboy]

Has any manager in the history of football ever implemented their style of play onto a football team in the space of three games?

Seems like there's so many desperate to write Beale off on here man, give it a rest.

Big Sam had a quick fix

 

[jimb]

Gus poyet

Increyable!

 

[rubberface]

He's playing number 9 whilst Jobe plays 10.

It's the Ba/Coventry situation all over again. Playing the wrong man through the middle.

...i don't think Rangers were this boring under Beale...which is saying something!

 

[Vore]

Would it be bad if I said that half was boring as fuck?

Be somewhat of an understatement. Bar 1 shot from Clarke last game the last 225min of football has been mindnumbing.

 

[Select coaches]

not even worth replying to tbh. We've had 3 games in 6 days woth barely any training in between.

Most people can see how ridiculous your argument is. It's like talking to a bloke who's knows absolutely fuck all about what he's watching.

Surely seen enough to know Pritchard should be starting atm

 

[Cream Soda]

You're saying professional footballers can't understand a system of play a new manager tries to implement?
It's basic non league stuff to change towards a style. Honestly people like you who've never played the game havn't a clue

Who did you play for?

Also, aye you're wrong if you think he's implemented his style within 3 training sessions

 

[radjee gadjee]

No, most people can see that your argument is absolutely shite !!! The excuses you are making for this are utterly embarrassing.

 

[ir35]

There’s something fundamentally wrong when you can’t bother this teams defenders.

 

[safc9450]

They also built him up to be a hybrid of Klopp and Pep

Klopep ?

 

[Doberman]

Seams like the role is not that clear? Mixing it a bit so both of them ends up in the wrong position

Classic Beale. Players just playing wherever they want.

 

[Rik-Safc]

I can't understand TM going if this was the plan. Results no better and the quality of football is vastly worse

 

[billyboy]

Wiki says Premier League.

Just repeating what was said pre match by Frankie and Danny.

 

[Mowgli]

No, most people can see that your argument is absolutely shite !!! The excuses you are making for this are utterly embarrassing.

Why didn't you rage at 2 wins in 10 prior to dodds taking over?

 

[Kenna]

So awful we beat the team in 6th place on their own patch

Doesn't mean we didn't look awful and lucky to do it.

 

[dave hedgehog]

That was f***ing awful, Beale is slowly destroying the way we normally play. After just two and a half f***ing games, that’s some feat.

Does feel like that. Not just this 45 mins.l either. Was same vs hull. We just seem to have no real method in our play.

Having no attacking fullbacks is destroying any creativity we once had aswell

 

[Raich Carter]

I’d take Jobe off for his sake and take ba off for mine.

 

[ChrisAshley]

SAFC xG is 0.06.

For the uninitiated that means given that ‘performance’ we’d score in 6% of games.
It won’t have been that low at half-time since the PL relegation season against someone like Man City away.

We’re playing the bottom of the league FFS!!!!

Not to worry, once Beale gets some more training sessions we'll be f***ing class.
