City @ The Boro Thread

[KunDB]

C'mon City

[KunDB]

Caballero, Kompany (c), Kolarov, Otamendi, Clichy, Navas, Fernandinho, Garcia, De Bruyne, Jesus, Aguero

Gunn, Sagna, Zabaleta, Fernando, Sterling, Nolito Sané

Sane rested on bench and Sterling, both poor the other night. About time Garcia got his chance.

Clichy midfield?

[Rowley Birkin QC]

rags have only managed a draw. 

[KunDB]

And only with help from the refere giving a dodgy penaly and then adding a ridiculous 6 minutes added time.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Apparently the hotel City stayed in last night had no running water.

Civilisation yet to arrive in Boro.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

I'm only listening on the radio, but none of this sounds convincing. The Clichy = winger experiment sounds like a daft idea.

[KunDB]

Boro showing us how to do it properly.

[KunDB]

Navas plus Clichy = Nothing

Clueless first half.

Pep better wake up and change things for the better.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Even I'm starting to wonder about Pep (or our lack of organisation behind the scenes)!!! Why were the subs not made at half time instead of four minutes after the restart?

baffling.

[KunDB]

Now we go to a back 4. Pep is to blame if we lose this game.

One more Boro goal and Utd move above us. What does that say about us this season?

[Neil Mcnab]

Thought the game was starting at 4 for some reason, anyhow we look poor and the side has obviously changed from the starting line up. If this is an improvement on the first half, we must have been really shit, instead of just shit. 

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Someone forgot to tell Pep that Downing is a half decent player who you shouldn't set up to surrender space to. 

[zacc]

bit of a soft penalty decision but then City had lots which should have been given not in the past so hey ho

[Neil Mcnab]

Boro are really up for it, we are on the beach.

[zacc]

Boro are really up for it, we are on the beach.

yup summat about City makes teams go mental with them

[Rowley Birkin QC]

We are lost without Silva - and even Yaya's ageing legs 

[Neil Mcnab]

I have been watching 25 minutes, I thought Jesus must have been substituted before I switched on?

[Lekos]

Embarrassing

[Hesperus]

Boro  score twice! That hasn't happened often this season. Must be a lovely feeling when you're struggling for goals and you know you're playing City.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Jesus!!!!

[Neil Mcnab]

Famous last words, when Jesus touches the ball, its an important touch.

[Swiss]

Only positive I can take from that was at least they didn't score 8!!!

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Poor team selection and poor tactics in the first half.

[Neil Mcnab]

If Boro had played like that for the start of the season, instead of now, they would be comfortable in the league. Where are the players who can take the game away from a team who are as committed as Boro? A dominant midfielder would be a start.

[KunDB]

Pep nearly threw away that game and threw away two valuable points.

While I support Pep and I am in general against sacking managers needlessly, Pep still has a lot of questions he has to answer at the end of season review with Khaldoon. Not least why has the team regressed as the season has gone on?

[gavin]

Seems like one that i can be pleased to have completely missed.

[lee]

i thought we had lost and i gave up all hope of us scoring again..sublime header from jesus..

weird as fook team selection...kolarov and otamendi are absolute bobbins..they looked even worse when that rugby league player came on for boro and took the piss out of them both

[Swiss]

Was clear they were targeting that side with long balls and we didn't have speed on our side!
