BBC muted.

Richards is a fucking clown.

A grinning imbecile.

The International Institute of Imbeciles have issued a statement disowning Richards.

About 80% of the rest of our games are going to be like this. We need to figure out a way of troubling teams who park the bus really quickly.

What a godawful game of football.

Tactics aren't helping. Getting it wide to pump balls into the box is playing into Boro's hands. Only real highlight of the half was an angry Jacob Ramsey running at them and showing his superior class. We need to get out of our comfort zone of passing it endlessly around with no real purpose and start showing our strengths and quality. Boro can pass it around and at least they have a plan by beating our highline and playing on the counter.

Kamara looks great and Ramsey is showing signs he's on his way back to the player he was before his injury.

A positive for me is it seems Jacob Ramsey beginning to show he is on his way back to match fitness. With them having a the random attack anything can happen.

Richard’s goes on mute faster than Jonathan Davies does in this house. The ******.

We are a better team than them so I’m not worried about them catching us so fcuking speed it up and go at them ffs.

Midfield partnership of Kamara/Donk not really setup to dictate the tempo. Easy change is to sub in Luiz but I'd bring in Zaniolo for McGinn who looks fatigued and play an extra attacker.

The referee is a bit edgy - you can tell he hasn't got VAR to bail him out.

Losing the number 10 position is hurting us at the moment as we lack that intellect from the likes of Tielemans, Diaby, before his form downturn.

good point, Carl. It needs us to be able to mix it up a bit.

Piss poor game.

Boro haven't come to play football.

They just want to sit back with men behind the ball & then chase the odd lost ball.

Sadly, their anti football tactic appears to be working for them & as long as they are in the game, they have an opportunity to chase things in the space we leave at the back while at least attempting to play a bit of football.

This ref is a bit of a c**t too. Couple of bookings for players calling out blatant fouls on our players.

Standard work life where the "managers" get pissy when you tell them how shit they are at their jobs...

That last one before the chance where Dublin almost came in his pants looked an obvious foul to me.

They chase the ball, cross it in & the ball goes to their winger on the far side who slices his shot into a different dimension, but because their big striker didn't get into the ball, Dublin & their fans got all over excited.

A little bizarre, especially as they ignored the foul on the far side.

Im a little pissed we aren't testing their keeper more though. I have watched a lot of him in the A'League & he is very erratic. Can pull off a wonder save one minute, but is just as likely to either throw it or kick it in his own net if pressured.

Starting to get a discipline issue. Too many players getting booked for dissent and getting ìnvolved in skirmishes

You always have to worry about a middle aged man with a 20 year olds haircut.

Attention seeking tart.
