Dahnsouff

General comment, not debating your post, but it seemed a good start for the this reply is all. It is with no sense of irony that I felt yesterday, we went too gung ho. We needed to retain composure and stop trying to force it, yes we were ponderous at the back but that is not news and the reasons for it are well documented, but when we got up front we went too fast, faster from back to front would have been better, but once we got around their box, at several points we seemed to rush. Often Fatawu, but others also culpable, as we needed to keep the pressure very high over a prolonged period of time imho as Boro were clearly of a strict defensive mind, so moving them around lot was always going to be the way forward rather than look for the shortcut of a killer pass which has a high risk of breaking down.

It’s really not about, and if we allow a players full tenure as the period of judgement we can never ever replace him as his tenure is that spectacular, but at some point we are going to have too. (Unfortunately) So we might as well just suck it up and accept the bumps in the road for potential replacments. Exit. Just to be clear I was talking about Vardy above as a point of reference, but I am sure you got that

Yes let’s rely on a 37 year old striker and deride an up and coming striker on our books, we should get Huth out the office and back on the grass whilst we are at it.

People finally given a chance to vent on Vestergaard after quite a long time when he has been very good for us, a long overdue chance to reel out the ‘he will never make in the Premier League so we should just get rid now’ trope. Vindication eh?

So because we lost to Arsenal twice in 15/16, does that mean we didn’t win the League? I am so deflated right now, going for a little cry.

I think not, one loss = existential crisis

We don’t need to beat Leeds, we don’t even need to get a point (obviously both would be than the alternative) but we need to show a serious amount of fight.

Quite a few stray passes today, bit odd.

But isn’t that an agreement by omission then? Anyway, whatever, don’t care. We missed, they didn’t.

This. He did not need calling out today. Which is an improvement.

People are incapable of changing opinions it seems, today being a prime case.

Really? He was nowhere near the worst today.

If you are singling Praet out today you really are stuck on repeat, plenty were worse, even in midfield.

Stupid Belgium, I am going home...

- farce

Too many poor performances today, we suffer badly when Ricky, Harry , etc are not on form.

think we need to knock the wall down first

*** Plan B alert ***

Seem complacent, need a serious rocket.

Middlesborough, you can be our Arsenal, just don`t forget the dressing room inspiration photo

Having crepes in Belgium and all is well

Oh for sure it’s a red card by the letter of the law, but was the law designed with such incidents in mind? Without allowing for any situational nuance?

Agree, but that’s why you have lines people, no?

Think the sending off of Corberan needed common sense too, the ball was arching back in but it’s trajectory was going out originally.

OneBoro are not optimistic to colossally understate it, and I cannot believe Nacho looks remotely ready for his retribution arc at this point.
