Mate who’s a Boro fan has text me during first half. Normally full of compliments about us to be fair. He’s absolute fuming reckons we play like Stoke, absolute terrorist football, fall over as soon as anyone is near us, parking the bus
We've been dangerous in the final 3rd but sloppy in CM n at the back Got to improve in the 2nd half if we are to win this
Should have had a pen at the end but I’d argue Hume probably could have been sent off as his tackle on Latte Lath was horrendous.
Would love to hear why that isn't a penalty. Tripped him and had a hand on his back, thats TWO offences yet the supposed Premier League referee doesn't see either. Unbelievable. I don't think we've been all that good in the game so I'll absolutely take 1-0. Think we are getting split open far too often whether it's out wide or through the middle and our attacks don't have that much flow to them. Mundle doing well though. We can absolutely go on to win this comfortably though.
Ayling has got away with 2 where he's pushed the player instead of trying to win the ball. At least one should have been a pen. They'd be free kicks anywhere else.
Nowhere near our best here, don’t think we’ll get away with another half like that, run out of words to describe rigg the lads sensational
They've won zero of their games where they've had more possession but have won both where their opponent has had more possession
Happy to be ahead given the way the first half went. We seem to be wide open when they attack and our clearances have been terrible. Mundle is an incredible talent, then only thing he needs to improve is decision making and picking the pass when the shot isn't on.
Ayling having his hands up so fast told you the story straight away, he's clipped Mundle's ankle just inside the box and knows it.
Their 2 centre backs are really uncomfortable on the ball, think chances are there to be had if we can force them into mistakes
With that and then the penalty at the end I think the ref is too used to having VAR, both are pretty obvious decisions and he had a good view for both. Poor officiating
Bald one looks ropey especially, couple of fluffs from the keeper too. Definitely potential for a goal from it.
Watching live here. Scrappy first half. Great goal and denied a stonewaller. Just need to be patient second half and wait for them to chase the game. There will be openings for the lads. HTL!!!
