colinmk Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 At least has them trying to play football. This and not being Pardew makes him a hell of a lot better than Pardew but not sure what else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I'm expecting an apolegetic email. Better be from the referee. Are there any rules about slagging off the referees in private email communications? Because McClaren could send us all an email slagging off the ref and the FA wouldn't be able to do him for it.

Fatwax Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Not his fault today. Anyone that blames him can f*** off. Agreed, he's always the victim. Don't get me wrong, he's far from blameless this season and should be held accountable for a lot of fuck ups so far, but barring Tiote starting he set the team up really well. Cattermoledidnt even get booked ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cattermoledidnt even get booked ffs I think he made a few mistakes today but wasn't responsible for the defeat. Tiote starting was a joke, bringing on Lascelles was a joke when we could have brought Anita on and moved Dummett into his best position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, I didn't mention the t Email though I know its this continuation of poor decisions and timing by the club. McClaren has been led up the merry path again by this lot. Youcan see his coaching is having an effect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Not his fault today. Anyone that blames him can fuck off. It is mostly fault. We needed a Left Back. We needed a commanding Centre Half. We needed a quality Defensive midfield. We arguably needed another Striker. He's on the board, he trains the squad, he's responsible for inspiring the team he picks. Apart from the Norwich game where it was touch and go first half. We have been dog shit. We could have got a centre half and left back for the money we wasted on a already suspect French winger.

mrmojorisin75 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Tiote was a bad selection, not much else wrong today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Only thing I'd blame him for was not starting Anita over Colback. We could have got Anita dropping in between or to the side of our CB's and got both Janmaat and Dummet bombing on to pin them back giving Gene and Perez more space. Otherwise there wasn't much he could do, especially after the red. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filflop1 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 McClaren told BBC Sport after the game: "We were the better side by a distance. We controlled it, created chances and never looked like giving anything away at the back. Even with 10 men in the second half we still controlled it. Referee decisions are out of your control. "The defining moments were those two ref decisions he got wrong. Georginio Wijnaldum's ball was handballed by Lee Cattermole and the penalty for them was never a penalty. The penalty and red card was a double whammy. "In the first half the team were excellent. I was totally relaxed. We were in control. I said to players that's what we must continue. If we continue doing that and get decisions right then we'll do OK." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Agree with McClaren there, that was the least nervous I've felt watching a derby match for years before the red card. Fat Sam looked like he was absoulely shitting his pants for the first 45 mins and so did his pathetic excuse for a team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Genuinely feel sorry for McClaren today. That was a fucking scandal Agree with this. I was one of the most anti-Steve McClaren on here before and since the appointment but I liked a lot of what I saw today. The high positions of the fullbacks were great in the first half, the narrowing of Sissoko & Gini's roles and the set up of Perez/Mitro. We were incredibly unlucky today. That pen was their first attack and we were in total control. Like 100% in control of the game. Feel a bit for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 We looked a very well coached side for 45 minutes tbf to him. Didn't look all that dangerous however. Sunderland were awful though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I like him more after today, actually. Best derby performance in years (not much competition!) and he can't help that the ref was incredibly biased towards them. He seemed to care, we played good stuff and he told the truth post-match. Starting Tiote wasnt great but I could cope with that - Anita isn't particularly great either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 What did he say after the game? I hope he told him the ref gave them 3 points today? He was reserved, said he got more than 1 wrong but was reserved to say anything more. In his Boro days he used to go at them a bit more, but I think he got told off for it a few times. I think inside he is raging as much as we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
