Boro Post Match thread

entertaining game. Showed a lot of bottle.

This was do or die for Boro and we went into the game with Wembley and the Derby in our legs. And missing Silva, yet some of you just expect to take the 3 points?

You criticise Guardiola, but you should know that these games can be very difficult.
 
I had a feeling it would be shite. Went to watch guardians of the galaxy vol 2. It was brilliant and not frustrating in the slightest.
 
We arent in great form at the moment which is a bit of a worry. We must win the next 3 home games and all are going to come and put 11 players behind the ball and hit us on break with pace. Pep got it totally wrong again today, just as he has done many times this season. The team needs to do much better next season, but so does Pep who I think has struggled to adapt to the premier league this season.

Fuck me that first paragraph.

Yes deciding that having actual wingers on the wings after 50 mins makes him a genius.

Yeah, the two wingers who have played virtually every match and are both evidently blowing out of their arse, how dare he try to rest them, what an utter ****!
 
Calmed down now. at least where still above the scum. Win our last 4 and we could finish 3rd.

Guardiola chucked two points away there. We all know that there are no gimmes in the Premier League, especially not against relegation threatened teams. So what does the genius do? Changes half the personnel and decides to alter the formation thus making the fixture which was always going to be tough even tougher.

He has got to learn this is not La Liga. Real and Barca immediately following a hard fought Classico changed their sides totally, left out key players and both scored 6 goals and won at a canter. This is not going to happen here and Pep's arrogance is threatening our participation in the CL next year, which would be ironic as he was brought here to improve us in said competition.

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.

Good wind up !! Best Manager in the world - as will become evident next season - has to get used to the league and get to know the players - some of which are not good enough for his system of play - we are all frustrated, but i started supporting City in 76 - seen the true bad times - we are very lucky to have both the owner we have and the manager we have !! Boro are fighting for their lives and no match in the prem can be taken for granted - see Swansea today, which on paper Utd should have won all day long !! Just be patient !!

Pep underestimates our opponents in the Premier League every time.
He is the new Tinkerman.
Crap team selection, tactics and game management again. Passing the ball across the front of the opposition defence is easy to defend against. You rack up the possession stats and half chances but that's all.

We needed to make a lot of changes after the week we have had. I think he knows City have not been incisive enough.

Worst manager we have had since Hughes.

Cannot hack it in a competitive league.

Arrogant. Disinterested. Clueless. Overrated.

Poor in every aspect of his role - coaching, the transfer market, motivation, communication, tactics, game management.

Anybody who cannot see it is blinded by his cool factor and celebrity status within the game.

I'll probably get a ban for this but I don't care. I care more about what is best for city than I do what is best for sensitive blind sycophants on a football forum.

We HAVE to get rid. He's ruining the entire club.

Thank Christ we didn't get beat !

The line up was just missing Sane and Sterling on the wings instead of the two he picked , was looking forward to seeing Jesus and Aguero together with De Bruyne in his best position just behind

But Navas and Clichy offer nothing going forward so we had zero threat out wide

Jesus looked lacking in match sharpness and Aguero is really pissing me of with his selfishness when others are better placed

Garcia looked like he didn't know what his role was, he looked lost

All in all , the point means we have matched the rags result so not too bad

A win next week and we put massive pressure on them to win away at Arsenal
 
Disappointing result. Missed most of the first half and my stream was a few minutes behind in the second half but I can still say that the first half was poor and disjointed, perhaps the changes were too much and Middlesbrorough's approach somewhat unsettled the team. The second half got much better with the switch to the 442 formation with Sane in particular and Sterling providing most of the pace and energy to drive the team forward and when we got the goal everything was set to go on and win the game but we conceded at a very bad time.

Still fought to get the draw and the energy and urgency of the players in the second half was markedly improved but ultimately could not get the winning goal at the end. Aguero going off with injury is also worrying. It is still a fight for top 3 and the players will have to fight until the end of the season.
