Middlesbrough vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[AlexAlexCropley]

Play Bree at RB on Tuesday? He did well against Cardiff....

Is Elmo out?

He went off late on with a possible hamstring injury

I know he went off,just wondered if he's been announced unfit for Tues.Could just be a pull.

It didn’t look terrible he was movi around OK on the touchline. Fingers crossed just a tweak.

I can see why Barcelona were happy to sell Traore.
I can also see why Villa were happy to sell him. Thought before the game he and Grealish were the players who would have the most influence on the match, Jack was head and shoulders the better player.

This is my one downside today. Hutton till oreusmably man Mark Adama whichever side he plays. But Bree or Bjarnason would give me kittens

I can’t see Elmo being fit. Maybe not even for the final.

Always feels good to be leading at half time. But it is only half time. And it is only 1-0.  Another professional job back at B6 please, boys.

If it is a hamstring pull then he has no chance of making it Tuesday.  It would be a big ask for Bree to step in and I would not be confident about Bjarnason back there against their wide players.

Good result and ultimately comfortable, but bloody hell, Hourihane doesn’t half go missing when the pressure is on.

Agree Risso and he has been like that for some time now.  Onomah would give us that extra bit of energy and drive in midfield, but Hourihane is capable of those moments of quality that can turn games.

Even shoddier!

Grumbles.

What the amateur Legion was trying to post.

Apparently this is Jack's heat map today.

Some interesting stats said in commentary today.  We have conceded the fewest goals from corners this season (6) in the entire Premier and Football League.  Did I also hear right that we also haven't lost this season after going ahead in a game?

[PeterWithesShin]

We've also conceded the fewest goals in the last 15 mins of a game, in all competitions covering all 4 divisions. At least I think that was the stat they mentioned as I was eating at the time.

[Legion]

FUCTIFINO what went on there.
