STUHILL Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Can't fault the effort from us today. Everyone working their socks off. Ulloa has won pretty much everything in the air, and Mahrez looking reasonably dangerous when on the ball. We are really lacking pace though and I think we will see Musa at some point. Mendy I think is having a poor game, which is a concern but Amartey and King doing ok. Still predicting a 1-0 win for either side. Hopefully a bit of quality can win it for us.

Also not surprising we struggle when the strikers get nothing, not sure why people thought Ulloa coming in would change that Decent, a little bit slow but is protecting the back 4 pretty well. Also, he actually passes the ball!!

Do you reckon stats in that game he's gave the ball away and lost possession more than amarety and king I think he's going to be class but not quite ready just yet

Charl91 Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 I'd bring Gray on for Okazaki. Okazaki hasn't offered much atm.

Also not surprising we struggle when the strikers get nothing, not sure why people thought Ulloa coming in would change that He seems out of pace. He sometimes look like he was playing in slow motion. Did some ball watching. His pass was not that good but, I am sure he will bounce back. He seems like he needs some play time to get back to shape. But he was not bad.
Guest Danny Clender Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 The 4-3 is working well, but from there, the 1-2, not so good. I'd take Shinji off, put Gray on and move to 4-3-3 with Mahrez on the forward right.

dannythefox Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Got to get things sorted up top been rubbish.
Crazy Kop Corner Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Great tackle from Mendy near the end of the half.
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 We just have no outlet once in possession. Mahrez creates a bit of impetus the other two have been dead ends. Boro are average. Let's go and attack with intent.
The Quick Brown Fox Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Mendy has made some decent tackles and interceptions, what we are after. Let's hope he continues to grow into what we need.
David Hankey Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Many congrats to Andy King (350 not out today). Let's hope he and we can celebrate with 3 points!!
lgfualol Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Well I just got a stream up so place your bets on a dominant Boro 2nd half.
WoodyFox Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Ulloa has been class in the 'Okazaki' role, breaking things up in the first line of defence.. but that sacrifices his role of sitting on the last man. Mendy has looked promising!
Barky Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 This lack of potency up front is what you get when you sacrifice an attacking outlet for another midfielder.
Tielemans63 Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Oka has struggled but he's the type of player to somehow create something. That said, if we go another 15 mins with him not having any impact I'd bring on Albrighton to provide width and some protection for Simpson.
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Just now, Barky said: This lack of potency up front is what you get when you sacrifice an attacking outlet for another midfielder. But we're playing 3 strikers
