Middlesbrough post-match thread

[Marvin]

So annoyed we missed so many chances

I think Pep will be too. This is a bigger issue than the defending. To win games, have to finish teams off. Could have easily been a repeat of the Boro league game

Lot of 'lazy' balls played out to defenders who have an opposition player close by....

But they are good on the ball. It worked today. When we get pressed then you are forced to go long, but when we're not trust in your player's ability

boro did what they had to do , don't think they were that bad dirtiness wise, they know the couldn't match up playing football so tried to rough us up hoping maybe minds were on Monaco , very professional performance from us , should of been more , but no injuries, no bookings and off the Wembley.

And a club record of 6 away clean sheets on the trot

Only cumfy because we actually hit the target more often than Stoke game.
From hitting the target came 2 goals.
Total shots 18 with 10 actually on target.
OK we should have scored more today but getting shots on target is a good start.

Compared with Stoke where from 12 shots we only got 1 on target with no goal resulting.

,gk to player with man behind , cb split so two men on them full backs go inside yaya drops deep. ,usually goes to yaya who turns it round the corner to silva/clichy or kdb/zabba and we are on the attack with 3 of their men out of the game already,surely you can see this tactic its the reason bravo was preferred over hart,for his passing ability,

its what peps building from the back is all about.

My favourite ever kit, said it.

Another WTF comment about Boro's tactics, should have had three sent off, maybe five.
