Boro Post Match thread

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.

Yeah brilliant that, think it was 65% at Leicester

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

Yeah, it's unacceptable. As I was saying on ArsenalMania the other day, no true fans have more than one club.

But it is a good thing. Makes it far easier for us (in general).

Pep tried something, fucked it up, changed it, saved a point. Not his finest hour but fuck me, if he was so arrogant, why did he change it? Dont embarass yourself

Stevie fucking wonder, would have changed it,. f.f.s.

On a sidenote, any news or thoughts on the potential Aguero injury? Anyway, hopefully if needs be Jesus can step up, would like to see him start with Aguero or not (Aguero injury depending) as he is our most clinical player at the moment, and we can't put the ball in the back of the net at crucial moments without him.

Easier for us to do what?

To be fair, until your excellent post, I'd never heard of ArsenalMania.
Well done you....

If we getting similar performances and formations when pep gets his players thats when he should be question this team needs a lot of work and more players who can play the pep system.

This. But for some reason, some cannot accept that this year Pep is having to use deadwood.

We looked absolutely shite again

Clichy, Kolarov, Navas all need binning in the summer

New CB, full backs and a centre mid are needed.

And a new forward.

 

[Lancet Fluke]

I haven't assumed ANY game will be,

Not saying you have at all but plenty on here have assumed that this run in will be a stroll. Totally agree with your other point. Nothing wrong with supporters not happily accepting what is essentially mediocrity.

 

[john blue]

I question Pep's choices but he changed it up and saved a point so there you go, good manager.

Our midfield needs sorting. Now.

What mid-field. ?

 

[ono]

MY WORRY ALSO

From being at the game today can safely say the improvement will come from turfing out the deadwood...

Willy did nothing wrong and has been fine but he's not a title winning calibre of keeper.

Kolarov was abysmal and will be gone.

Clichy was also abysmal and will be gone.

Otamendi was poor and will hopefully play a lesser role.

Fernandinho is squad player quality at best. We badly lacked a pivot in midfield or a midfielder who can move with the ball through space. Everything is a sideways pass.

5 new quality additions in those areas will be needed and everything will be ok.

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.

Battled quite well eh ? Are we fucking Stockport or something?

 

[Andy Morrisons jock strap]

Great to see Vinny get another game under his belt i"ll feel alot more positive about next season if he can get a pre season without any injuries. Gab is one of those rare breed of strikers who can do fuck all all game yet with one chance he changes the game and gets a vital point for us. Difficult to undetstand why Pep thought he needed to start with a 3 given how much more solid we have looked at the back in recent weeks, im sure he has his reasons but its a major risk given how tight things are for the top 4

 

[Norbiton]

Well we're not going to get anywhere without battling.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Pep' team selections are truly worrying . Today with 2 left backs and a right winger as full back yet again is a joke, and I'm sure if Bravo hadn't been injured he'd ve picked him yet again. Just pick our best team with players in correct positions is all I request. I fear we would could finish 6th and all the planning to get Pep will have gone to rat shit. How can he be getting things so wrong game after game. Disillusioned.
Cheers

Would have been a much easier match had Boro players checked out due to being down already. As it is they still had/have a glimmer of hope so fought like hell all match.

 

[kaz7]

Pep: "In the second half with the wingers more specific, we were much better and created all the chances to win."

 

[The Black Shed]

That's a hidden negative. Not allowed sir!
