    Rooney is fired up for Friday night

    Insufficient time to oversee the changes needed?!! He took a team that were flying and in the playoff spots and won 2 games in 20 with them :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    I think so because it looked like it was originally O'Hare going off.

    Middlesbrough could have had 5 yellows just for diving today

    Confidence and getting the ball to him in better positions. He's a big guy but that doesn't mean ball to feet, back to goal is his strength.

    So static in possession today. Pet hate of mine.. Work for your team mates, making a run or moving isn't just about you getting the ball, it's about the space it creates for others....

    It's going to be an absolute nerve-wracking 2nd half. We're set up to counter attack today but Middlesbrough have caught us out a bit by sitting deep, allowing us to play, and trying to nick the ball off us and counter too. Going to be end to end madness 2nd half i think.

    Piss poor from the centre backs. 2 Middlesbrough players in the box for that cross and neither Binks or Thomas marking anyone.

    Knocking the ball around nicely at times but still way too flat in our lines. Middlesbrough are defending quite deeply, I'm guessing to try and neutralise Wright's pace over the top, and are getting their entire team back behind the ball quickly, pressing and then trying to catch us on the...

    Simms

    I believe he’s be being retrained from what’s he’s used to, to do specifically what Robins wants from him in that role, which currently is a little bit alien to him. Result is he can look a bit lost at times and isn’t yet playing to his potential or with consistency. It’ll come, he just needs a...

    It was accurate, but not good. SSS passing - Safe and slow and sideways. Like a guy playing out of position that didn't want to make mistakes. It lacked bravery and tenacity. Our centre backs did a much better job of breaking lines with their passing and getting the ball into O'Hare's feet than...

    I thought we had little clue how to break down a very poor team today. Surprised at the praise for Lati - would love to see his passing stats as it felt like he went backwards or sideways every single time. Whole team was slow and pedestrian with the ball over most of the pitch. From the...

    Don't think Kitching did anything wrong honestly. Diaby put his head in 2 or 3 times. Kitching just held his ground.

    Can't believe the miss from that Sunderland lad last week when he blazed it over and now Cadamarteri sidefooting the ball wide from 3 yards out in the middle of the goal. How are we keeping clean sheets?

    Godden has been absolutely anonymous and barely touched the ball, which when we've had close to 70% possession up until the last 4 minutes of the half is very poor. Not sure it's entirely his fault though - it's all been very comfortable but thought our possession football was too safe and...

    O'Hare is a Burden on the Team

    His final ball was fucking awful today. His work rate and ball recovery was insane though. Not sure any of that part of his game is any different to 1 year ago. Difference for me has been his finishing. Different level to pre injury.

    That Dasilva ball to Godden is exactly why he should never be more than a sub now. Had a whole quarter of the pitch to run into but is so slow he had to check back and pass backwards. Been a great servant but we need something different than that off the bench.

    In 40 years of watching football I don’t think I have ever seen such an absolute master class in abject finishing as Sunderland have produced today. I’ve loved every miss.
