22/23 The Official Middlesbrough v Swansea Match Thread

[Londonlisa2001]

I’m going for, ‘we felt we were dominating and would have gone on to get at least a point, probably all three. We certainly had the chances and had tired them out. Then Ben did something you can’t legislate for, was absolutely stupid to be honest, and has cost us that game. We were disappointed as a group with the two goals as we felt we’d controlled the match and were on top, but we are happy with the performance and we’ll bounce back quickly. It’s only a matter of time, as we can see the improvements all over the pitch. We just need to cut out the individual errors’.

Russell, that you?

I’m going to have a little glass of something each time he matches what I’ve said. It’s Martin bingo time.

Boro did what most teams are going to do against us this season. Keep your shape, don't go chasing lost causes, be patient, stay compact, wait for the mistakes, the chances will come.

He’d better not go on about stats again. If he thinks this is working because of some stats, he can fuk off and realise he’s looking at the wrong stats. Try looking at the results and the table. That’s where your stats have taken us.

As I mentioned earlier, 2-1 was the worst result we could get. Zero points, but it gives Martin the fuel for his post-match presser to spout his usual bollocks about being in the game, when we were anything but.

Nah. He’s done. See how angry he was just before the end.

It’s now just a matter of whether the club decide to pay out to get rid or not. But he’s done. He’s lost the players and the fans.

He's a dead man walking as far as I can see, he's increasingly desperate in his words and actions, floundering I think you call it.

You'll be pissed inside 60 seconds!

Excellent. Better pissed than pissed off.

When will be admit that his ego driven 'process ' failure, affects many thousands of people in time and money

 

[bakajack]

If the owners have anything resembling competence now they would sack RM tonight and make an approach for Toshack or Bielsa immediately while they have a chance to try to get in even just one player that he wants.

 

[K23]

Before the game, they showed footage of the players getting off the team bus. I hope they remember that Cameron Congreve is still under there before they drive off.

 

[mrploppy]

Awful from pretty much everyone, but a special mention for Ben Cabango. If I ever see him in a Swansea shirt again, it'll be too soon.

Fair enough :lol:

 

[Swansea93]

It’ll be David Wagner in if Martin goes I think

 

[monmouth]

If it’s the same at Stoke, and why wouldn’t it be, his ego will get a bruising on Saturday when the usual snore fest rolls into town again. Hell blame the crowd then again of course, as if he has no role in things whatsoever. I thought I didn’t care that much, but I’m fuming. Proper angry.

Jokes aside what RM did today was not even funny.

Making his first start and clearly the nerves were getting to him his usually good touch was always loose and he was always trying a little too hard. For RM to hook him after 30 minutes for a "wingback" who has zero goals and zero assists so far this season is inexcusable and could be a huge blow to his confidence and development.
