Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Middlesbrough FC vs Swansea City | The EFL Championship

[Swansea93]

Miss the days of having Dorus, Williams Monk & Tate all showing leadership at the back.

That’s up to other midfield players to take advantage of the the space created to move into the attacking third. It’s not Grimes fault players aren’t thinking

Yea but when we lose the ball, there's one less player in midfield to win it back because he's playing as a third cb.
There's also 1 less midfielder for borough to mark in midfield, makes it easier for them.

I disagree, it just means he's standing next to our two CBs and we're then outnumbered in midfield (as Grimes only leaves 7 players ahead of him against 10 opposition players) and end up losing possession

Car crash of a game for Cabango so far. Abdulai needs taking off. Really slow start in general.

They’re just better than us imo. Still, nothing to say we can’t nick it.

I've switched to Sky Sports news. How have Swansea responded Tim (Sherwood) What have they done?
answer ''nothing if they continue to play this way against Boro. They'll get hammered''. Pretty much what I thought.

The only way we can nick it is with a transit van, masks and a shotgun...

Has Franco touched the ball yet?

Vipotnik and Ronald will certainly be on half time for Cullen and Abdullai.

Desperate need for another centre half.

 

[CygnusX1]

Hopefully at half time, our players will have a meet and greet to get to know each other

 

[Andrew - North Hill]

A lot of our players are looking undercooked. They are aware this is a league game and not a friendly, right?

Thought Abdulai was having a poor game tbh.

 

[Longlostjack]

Oh Cullen!
