It'll be an extended version of his post match thoughts, like, giving nothing away.. but looking forward to listening.

My first question would be "Michael, why do your attacking patterns of play need 34,650 passes before a player has a shot?"

That total was pretty close.

The answer is that Boro are trying something to include the crowd at home games and make them feel more involved, yesterday was a trial run. Our high tempo passing game is well known and appreciated by the Boro faithful, so to encourage this and factor in the fans Carrick has a look at the attendance and moving forward a pass will be dedicated to every Boro fan in the ground.

Groan... another attention seeker.

That was more like your predecessor, Wilderball. Carrickball takes a steaming dump on anything we've seen in about 20 years.

Do you know what Carrick’s attacking pattern is? Loved watching it yesterday.. but do you actually know what it is? Genuine question here btw..

Doesn't take long for the mask to Slip. Shame as you have a good source who let's you know stuff, let yourself down with silly threads like this

😂 What are you talking about? My mask?

We've been pretty toothless the last month or so.. 1 shot on target a game? 2 goals in 4 games.

We seem to be hesitant to shoot of late.. I want to see us pull the trigger when we get into good positions.. which we didn't yesterday, or in the last few games.

Carrick’s attacking patterns of play? I found it really interesting..

To be fair, our build up play has slowed down. Giles isn't crossing as much and our forwards aren't getting early balls as much. I don't know whether we are compromising to improve the defence or just missing Forss and Ramsey. Hopefully normal service will resume on Wednesday.

Was a tactical decision. Giles wasn't overlapping nowhere near as much and Smith wasn't getting round Jones. We had a gameplan of keeping the ball as much as we can and being solid and if we nicked a goal then brilliant. We never, but we got a 0-0 and no we have a chance to really have a go on Wednesday.

No, as I say its a shame you have to retort to stupid comments in the OP for attention as you have a good source

Do you really think I reckon he should be asked that question.

I think our build up play and attacking potency has been slow and a little predictable.

How about 'Michael, the teams effectiveness in front of goal has dipped of late.. why do you think that is and what needs to happen to rediscover that ruthless streak to edge what is bound to be a close game on Wednesday?'.

What's what? The attacking patterns of play that Carrick is coaching into the players?

The way we move the ball going forward, rotations, pulling defenders out of position to create space for our attackers..

They obviously work on patterns and passages of play in training to open teams up.

Of late, we've been a little laboured and slow and aren't creating as many chances in games as we have been.

I think we've been trying to create the perfect goal, over passing at times.. not shooting when we get into decent positions.

Hopefully nerves yesterday and the lack of edge in the final few games are a reason for this.

You knew what I was talking about though, didn't you.
 
My question to Michael:

“Michael that was probably the finest CB display since woodgate had Henry on toast by McNair, should Paddy be given Superhuman status considering he’s putting these performances in with no heart?”

😛
