Wonder what it's like to have Rafa's ear like.

Conway has looked decent.

I like Richie but has pace limits him terribly.

Rafa shouting narrow.

Need Atsu to run at their lumps.

Anita has been class.

Bossing it now.

Another error from jogback.

Diame has been our best player.

What's with the fucking punts up field?

Diame and Ritchie look lively but behind them the football is far too slow. I think the game needs to slow down. Get the ball and keep it for a while.

Like pinball at the moment. Get your foot on it man.

Hayden is a bit of a tart mind. Always has a rest.

Two mistakes from the ginger pirlo already.

Start Colback lad. Seymour man you tool.

Sends a huge message to Mitrovic too. He will end up in Italy.

That statistic says everything about just how pathetic our recruitment policy has been under Ashley, that someone who I'd consider an average Championship player has played so many games for us. Defensively he's not that bad to be fair, does the basics well enough, but as a footballer I've played with better on a Tuesday night on the West Road he is that abysmal on the ball. He's a centre back. I know, and he's still shit! Disagree, although he hasn't been given enough experience in that position.

Are Boro the most defensive side the premiership has ever had? Fucking brutal.

So there's supposed to be an option to buy? Anything over 4/5m is too much for Cleverley. The Rafa rule applies though.

There was once a decent attacking midfielder in Cleverley, who had a bit of pace about him. Now he plays much deeper and isn't nearly as good as he was. That said, he's sound on the ball and has plenty of experiance. He'd be more than comfortable at this level IMO.

For a player with a decent finish, he's never anywhere near the opposition goal like. Diame is a better option, simply because he puts himself about more.

0-1

5-0

I think he's a lost cause in terms of never drinking again. The best outcome is that one of these incidents doesn't cost his life.
