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

We have a really good squad yet we are not getting enough out of them, as I was once told it's no good having the best golf clubs if you can't play golf, something needs to change. Been poor at the back all season and done nothing about it !
 
Another 3 goals conceded and another home defeat. Poor.

Organisation was atrocious at times. The right hand side was a shambles all game. Granted there were 2 of the new lads playing in the RW position but we got absolutely tortured down that side. The amount of times Ayling stayed central and no one else went out and pressed Le Fee is embarrassing.

Last 20 mins we couldn't play out of our half. Travers, Edmondson and VDB were making a right hash of it.

Disappointing to lose again after starting the game so well.
 
It doesn’t matter how many attackers we have signed I’m afraid, this team, squad and club has a dangerously accepting culture of individual brain farts, mistakes whatever you want to call it. Some of our players need F***ing brutal honesty that they have let their teammates and the fans down tonight. However, the lauded calm manager will not do that and that acceptance of failure will continue to spread like a disease.

I am so F***ing furious it is beyond words. Not because we aren’t good enough, quite the opposite. We have some wonderful footballers but the leadership and management are not gripping this situation, which they can’t state they haven’t recognised it, cause Carrick has stated it can’t continue.

You can also put your money on Carrick not blaming it on mistakes tonight as he knows it’s becoming a broken record.

Carrick needs to go, because the parts are absolutely good enough.

F***ing absolutely gutted!!!!!

Why on earth was Fry dropped? RVB is having a mare this season and Edmunson is just crap.

Carrick must think he’s Kevin Keegan and just not bothering with the defence.

Crazy decision.
Edmondson looked so uncomfortable in possession and we almost got caught out everytime.
Van Den Berg brings the lb into play so well and Giles would have been a great outlet.
 
We would have been lucky with a draw. Aside from the first 15mins, they were much the better side and were so much more organised and disciplined.

You could see this through the continual gaping holes that they found all over the pitch where are players were completely unorganised.

I’m sorry but they are a much superior team to us in almost every area. We deserved nothing from tonight.
 
Any good things we do are just consistently wiped out by moments of absolute nonsense that you'd expect from a relegation threatened side, it's laughable watching some of the crap we manage to pull off.

You can't even get that excited when we go in front because you know at any moment we can produce the spectacular to hand the opponent a goal. It would have been a decent point after getting given the run around for the 1st 10-15 minutes of the 2nd half but then we go and do that.

Ayling and Edmundson are both dreadful, I'm no massive fan of Fry but how Carrick thinks Edmundson should be starting ahead of him is beyond me.
