Middlesbrough (a) Pre-Match Thread

The lack of Garcia after repeatedly giving good performances sucks but I'm pretty sure Pep is going all in for a trophy this season.

Shame for the kid though, thats his season over - not gonna be played any other time

Paul Ince reckons Boro are playing a 4-3-4 formation today.........

 

[Hart of the Matter]

Yes, new rule.

Willy on, Bravo off - Pens!

I want to believe you but chasing every trophy now I'm not sure.if that academy was at another club 3/4 would be regular first teamers by now

They might be good enough to get into other teams first 11 but as it stands not ours.

MC playing like pros this season - we got today in the bag

Yeah, in fairness Garcia has a valid shout to be in there.

Especially since he's ineligible for the Monaco game :(

After the poor performance against Stoke the players will have to get right back on track and the strength of the team today reflects the intent of the manager. Strong- close to the strongest we can field at this point...Can't know which Middlesborough will show up but the fact that the beast is on the bench may indicate their priorities. But it does not matter, we have to play well and win this game and we should.

Nice to see Zaba the warrior getting a start today. Really want to see Razza & Sane ripping this lot a new one. It'll shut BORo's manager up!!
WE CANNOT AFFORD TO SQUANDER CHANCES TODAY.

I've a feeling Pep knows how important this fixture is and the bearing it has on the season and has decided to play his tried and tested best 11. Still, would have been nice to see him on the bench.
