No mate, I was just thinking get to half time and don't concede. I couldn't see them scoring at this point. It was a howler of a defensive error. The ball should've been cleared and it's a different conversation at half time. The problem for me is that I'm on so many WhatsApp groups and messages is that sometimes I lose track of what's going on. If I could un-invent anything it would be the mobile phone.
I found that a little rose-tinted, describing like a thrilling end to end encounter. There were isolated moments of end to end thrills, but mostly Boro were in charge imo, particularly in the 2nd half. He's right about Field. He does do the work of two men, even when Johansen is fit, because we're often 2 against 3 in there. Absolutely vital he stays fit imo. I also agree about the substitutions. Bringing Gray on was weird. It was clear from early in the second half that we needed a third player in midfield and not just drop Willock in ahead of two holding, although that's better than nothing. If Johansen was unwell, I'd have started Hendrick alongside Field. We'd still have been very open with only two in there, but we just have to accept that is the Warburton way. To be fair to him, to get both Chair and Willock into the line up, it's hard to play it differently whilst employing three at the back, without sacrificing one of them a little deeper.
