MR seems to start every season trying to playing boring go nowhere possession ball then takes 10 games to decide we need to be a fast pressing counter team and we're always better doing the second.
I don't know why he insists on bothering throwing the first 10 games away each time.
Just so ultra passive. No aggression or drive in the majority of the team. Like they expected the game to just happen without imposing themselves.
Absolute waste of a summer not strengthening that midfield.
Neither Torp nor Eccles are having bad games but they both have a tendency to put their foot on the ball when looking for a pass instead of taking it on the turn and it slows downtime transition, particularly on a counter.
Sunderland gone absolutely mental signing players since the window closed. Looks like 3 with another to be done.
One of them is a DCM that played 6 times in the Champions League last year ffs.
THey're obviously working on something or they would have said all business done.
I hope MR gets his man otherwise his shite tactics for being up all night tonight will really be a kick in the bollocks.
I sort of hope that we get to the level of desperation where 11pm has passed but it's that weird period where a transfer has been submitted but not concluded and we're here till about 1
