Boro Post Match thread

[rnblade]

Pep is no Derek Adams is he?

He's done alright so far(Adams).
Luggy was my favourite.

 

[growl]

I go and watch Argyle occasionally, if that's alright with you. It's a bit too far for me to travel for every game!

Me too!

 

[Hoghead]

That's a welcome positive to take from this season. I love a good stat.
Thanks Karen

And if Liverpool lose tomorrow we go 3rd.

Is Bravo part of the deadwood yet ? Bringing in more of his calibre won't be of any benefit.

I'd like to think so. The over confidence of him nailing the window is quite a surprise considering the Bravo and Nolito deals.

I bet he was.

Your Argyle knowledge is definitely better than your City.

Oh well.

I usually avoid being controversial, but there are some short memories on here. At the end of last season a majority were happy to see the back of pellers, today, I have read that " we have gone backwards since Pellegrini" you really couldn't make it up. I was and still am happy we have Pep, give the bloke time to sort out what in my opinion was a shambolic situation in terms of defensive players, and, transfer policy, that is assuming we have one. We must give Pep a transfer window/close season before we can really judge the overhaul situation :-)

Very true. We haven't even gone backwards, if anything we've just stayed stagnant. Although we've been saying it for 3 years now, we truly will be better next season. We won't be less clinical next season for starters.

Wow! Cheers Stato. he he he
How many have come since January??

Points or games ? And wtf's the relevance

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Relative ease? We needed West Ham to beat the rags, second last game of the season. Be disappointed by all means, but don't rewrite history.

West Ham were never going to lose their last game at Upton Park.

Please note this statement is of similar ilk to Pep will get it right next season

Different era.

different era?...take a look at the "quality" of the pitches back in those days, far more energy sapping than the carpets they play on today...factor in poorer medical support (ask Paul Lake), far tougher tackling/kicking week and things are not so different...todays's players are pampered prima donnas in comparison...

We need to get this right this summer. Fuck it up and Pep will start to come under pressure. It would help if our own support showed more faith at times.

Spoken like a true rag!

 

[Norbiton]

You guys. Hard to think how the reaction could be more negative if we'd lost. Thought we battled back quite well and might have nicked it at the end. This attitude that we have a divine right to win every game and it's a disgrace and a disaster if we don't is more like another club which I've spent all my life despising for exactly that reason.

 

[daveiw01]

We're working on that pal :-)

I'm genuinely convinced half of the posters here are either wums or fans of other teams. Sad really.

 

[Fallingbostel Blue]

Played in a Semi on Sunday,a derby on Thursday,against a team scrapping for their lives today.....with a team hit by injury and a lack of depth.....and we get an away point that may be critical at the end of the season.

Pep out....lol.

Most people have been screaming out for Kun and Jesus up top, most people having been saying Sane he needs a rest, so pep picks a team which most people have wanted and it didn't work. He changed it virtually after half time and it brought us back in the game. We have now set a record for away points in a season. He is obviously doing something right. We now have 3 home games with an hopefully fit Silva, Stones and a rested Yaya. Plus Jesus having a few more sessions under his belt.

Factor in that they spent 30% of the ball in play time passing it back to the keeper.

 

[flb]

We've won 2 of the last nine games, it is what it is - wank.

 

[waspish]

Stop moaning we will finish top 4 and Pep will sought everything out in the summer,we now have 3 home games on the bounce and we have only lost 1 league game from our last 13 league games,chill out ffs.

Will 3 draws be enough though [emoji6][emoji23]

 

[The Black Shed]

And if Liverpool lose tomorrow we go 3rd.

Here's another - pretty sure (but not checked) that City have had more than 50% possession in every single prem game so far. That's another positive.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Personally, I don't believe there is an agenda . . .

I hate it when we churn out that sort of game, I've been slated for verbal diarrhoea, but surely this is a good place to do it?
I was really expecting to see a better performance today. Ok, boro are all but relegated but we made them look like a top half team. The lack of penetration and directness has disappeared from our game, we just seem content to keep possession and build again, hate to say it, but we really missed Magic Dave & possibly Yaya today, I wonder who the management have in their sights during the summer. We shouldn't be struggling with the quality that's available in our club.
Boro certainly were never going to make it easy for us & we nearly gifted them 3 points.
