22/23 The Official Middlesbrough v Swansea Match Thread

[Longlostjack]

God this is awful.

 

[StoneColdjack]

To anyone that isn't sure about our formation, according to BBC Sport we are playing 4-3-3

 

[MrSwerve]

Am I allowed to copy and paste everything I typed from last week's match thread, would save me a lot of time.

 

[lidojack]

You can play whatever formation you want, but if your system is asking your centre half to playmake from right back you will get found out more often than not.

 

[monmouth]

We have no threat and give away easy goals. It’s not a good combination really.

 

[Swanjaxs]

The writing is on the wall.

 

[Pegojack]

Fisher made no effort to come out and narrow the angle. Does he get any coaching?

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

YANKEE SCUM OUT

 

[bakajack]

The worrying thing is that we are once again playing with a lack of tempo.
Passing football only works if you move it quickly.

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

The writing is on the wall.

It will fall into place according to the manager

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

We are a young team and tired but love the courage down by them

 

[Longlostjack]

Only Allen moving off the ball - so static.

 

[PSumbler]

We look so much better as a result of having our pre-season

 

[K23]

Boro just keeping their shape and letting us have the ball in our half, just waiting for our next mistake so they can pounce which shouldn't be too long.

 

[Londonlisa2001]

I have no idea why anyone is moaning.

We are better in every single performance metric.

Martin said so.
