Kasey just had a header saved before a superb opportunity for KDH where he fluffed his lines. Our quick break from the freekick too where it was half a meter ahead of Justin bombing in. Then there was KDH putting wide from the free kick with the goalie rooted. But apart from that, yeah fvck all.

KDH swing and a miss - great chance to score. Despite the negativity, I think we played ok that half.

Wout Beckenbauer

looking better - good chance, decent save

yes - both

knocking it around quite nicely. kel linking up well.

Ricardo sometimes holding his width instead of inverting - we've broken the press a couple of times now by going round the outside

We look a lot more robust in the middle with Wilf back. Choudhury not passed forward yet.

What do you make of our chances of success in our legal action against Everton? It would set a remarkable precedent. If we're in for (a combined) £300m, what will the pot be for those clubs suing Man City if/when they get pinged? Would that not arguably be open to all 19 clubs who finished below them in the league in their title winning years? What about progress in European competitions? Feels like this is a big can of worms and I'm not sure if the FA, PL et al have the mettle for it.

Morally, it's the right decision. But the PL have made a rod for their own backs here surely? Fail to deliver a proportionate punishment to Man City and co., they'll be deservedly accused of rank hypocrisy. Then Everton could be the ones doing the suing. Punish those teams proportionately through relegation or title stripping or the like (as they should, based on their own rules), they'll be devaluing their brand and/or encouraging those teams to turn around and stick two fingers up saying "we're off to the super league". Just one of the reasons why the FFP rules are an unworkable joke.

I actually think we've played alright today. don't think we deserved to lose away against a team right in form. unsavable free kick to win it from them. let's get to the break, have a rest, get Ndidi fit and firing, and start again.

absolute worldy free kick from boro. fvck

don't mind that yellow from hamza tbh, was always gonna get one so might as well make it worthwhile
