* The Unofficial “Official” Middlesbrough v Sunderland “TEES_WEAR DERBY” [02/25] Match-Day Thread *

I apologise I got the score wrong & Burnley are top of the league as they know how to defend but I am not for changing Carrick will still keep waving his team forward because that is the only way he knows how. I still love Carrick.
 
You have to say we've been second best. Hackney's goal aside - and a couple of minutes of bluster afterwards - they've been on top since about the 20th minute. Too many poor players, especially in defence. Edmundson, Ayling, Giles, all not good enough. hackney's been outstanding, but our reliance on Doak has covered a multitude of sins. Fry has to come back in and Dijksteel if he's fit. Well done, Sunderland. Right now, they're better than us. We're a long way off the top 4 for a reason.
 
It’s like teams know we’re gonna play out so they just mark the good technical players and leave those who can’t pass wide open, and just wait for them to get us in trouble.

The amount of loose balls we don’t pick up, by being too compact is a joke. That’s not Carrick telling them to do it, he’s telling them to get out, but it’s like they’re afraid.

Or it’s like they know someone’s gonna drop them in it, so are scared to get out, and if you all don’t get out there’s no point.
