Match Day Thread The PL Season 16/17 All Star Thread

They're still in two cups.
Quite telling that Piskie agreed with you.

 

Aren't you in two cups too? How do you think your fare against a Middlesboro side hungry for points today?

 

Yes, we are.
Boro are organised and hard to break down.
They'll make it tough for us.

 

Those games are tough, our hardest game came against Hull City....they really battled hard.

 

Yeah, we just had one against Sunderland.
Very frustrating.

 

They'll make it difficult. They're set up to defend, only conceded 26 all season. Which for team in their position ain't too shabby.

 

Im going out on a limb here I think you will win narrowly 2-1

 

Yesssssssssssssssss

 

I'd take 1-0 tbh. But the longer they can hold out, the tougher it'll get.

Just hope we score early, then it could be anything...

 

I agreed that St Totteringham's day is coming. There was no mention of the cups.

 

You should be beating Middlebrough at home to be honest. But then I said the same thing about us against Watford

 

Well, they held you lot to 0-0 at your place. So, are you saying we're better than you?

 

Repeat again Moyes > Fat Sam.

Steven Taylor did more than Sam for Mackems last season. FACT , ask Rafa

 

Given our form at the moment, well, even Watford were better than us.

 

After Gabriel missed that pretty easy header, it was all over.

I don't know why you didn't try that trick on them again. They fell for it twice against us so there's obviously a weakness there.

 

The only small mercy today was that I was working and missed the game. Personally I would have started with Giroud up front, Sanchez left and Welbeck right with Ozil behind. From what I heard, we were lobbing balls into the box, hoping Sanchez might get on the end of them .....

 

It was a cross from the right centre of the box. Two or more Arsenal players were running onto it, defence was nowhere. Only problem was Gabriel planted the free header straight at Courtois.

It was pretty much a replica of what Eriksen & Alli did against them . Only Alli didn't miss!...

 

Didn't work at Stamford Bridge though.

 

You cannot afford to miss those types of chances against Chelsea. I heard that their first goal could have been given as a foul on Bellerin too ? And that Iwobi missed a chance early on ? On another day, it could have gone our way, but it sounds like we were well beaten.

 

Thing is that every team has a weakness, it's just that we have less of them than everyone else.
