I'd have taken a point before kick-off but to throw away the win late like that is fucking shameful really. Feels like a defeat.

Starting to wonder if this lad has the heart for it.

Really insipid half from both teams really and were it not for Pope's latest wandering calamity we'd be level. I'd hook Tonali for Wilson, move Anderson inside, Isak wide left. If we can rescue a point from this I'd be more than delighted but I wonder if our fitness levels might come into play later on and allow us to nick it if we can level before the latter stages.

That's fucking rubbish from Pope.

Wonder if they'll hound Mogga out for being a Boro legend, he let them win on purpose. And Geordie Carrick managing Boro too, that'll only increase the fewm. Definitely a Mag conspiracy.

Classiest and best fans in the land now streaming to the exits after 72 minutes

Classiest fans in the land throwing bottles at the Boro players when they scored.

You probably have to take a punt on someone from South America or with a relatively unknown profile for ~£10m. Then if they're class, Wilson's replacement is sorted, if not it isn't any harm done or a big hole in FFP.

I could see us getting a young up-and-coming forward, not a mega expensive one but maybe an option to ease the burden on Isak and Wilson even from a minutes played, sub option perspective. All of a sudden against PSG with no Wilson, when Isak took that whack it was Gordon up top and a Murphy or Anderson shoehorned in left. With Wilson's record I could see us trying to cover that.

"Kylian?" "Oh for fu....."

Guilty, get a new rule book.

Oooh, don't you know?

Nobody watches Champions League Aye that'll be because viewers around the world were scrambling to find live coverage of Sunlin's win against the mighty Watford instead. Championship gets better viewing figures than Champions League marra, simple mackematics.

I don't like the music afterwards, wouldn't mind so much if they waited 5 minutes and allowed some natural post-game atmos first. Southampton at home in the cup semi was the worst, the ref had barely raised the whistle to his lips and we had Doris fucking Day blaring out with the volume turned up to 11, proper shite.

Think that latest squad is me officially moving my flagpole out of the Southgate camp. What a fucking dullard man.

He's had basically 2 years away from playing, I'm sure he doesn't want a rest just yet like.

Gallagher, Henderson, Phillips, Maguire. Fuck off Southgate you boring cunt.

Really hope Wilson can put in half an hour or so as a minimum here cos Isak ran himself into the ground last night as well as his bump on the noggin (not caused by bad babysitting). Would imagine Murph comes in for Gordon or maybe Anderson plays wide? Not sure. Sounds a bit negative but after the exertions of last night a point would be fine here. A win would be golden. I suppose they'll have played in Europe too so they could be even more tired than us with a day's less recovery to boot.

He's obviously class and that but last night, my god, some of his first touches to control a ball fizzed into his feet to spin and turn away from opposing players and get us on the attack were just ridiculous. Seems to be back to his best, that was right up there in terms of overall performance since he got here.

Thought he did really well tonight, showed his pedigree and kept nicking the ball back for us. Did seem to tire though and was correctly replaced by Anderson.

Love that he got our first CL goal in twenty odd year. Grafted his nads off and did well, although for the 10-15 mins after he scored he must have give the ball away about 5 times

Best away fans I've seen and best I've ever heard the home atmosphere. Was absolutely banging other than the 10 mins after their goal where people got a little nervy. The crowd reacted to every tackle and every block and the groans when we lost the ball on occasion seemed to disappear tonight.

What a way to cap the night. Defended like an absolute demon too.

Showed some unbelievable skill tonight. Mark of his progress too that nobody was even slightly worried when he came on for Tonali. He's a first team player proper now and showing it every week.

He's just an absolute dynamo this lad. Even when he's not having the greatest time with the ball the yards he puts in are phenomenal. Tonight however was not one of those nights! He was excellent from start to finish and to cap it with a goal... stuff dreams are made of. What a comeback from being the "false 10" scapegoat and out of the squad only a couple of years ago.
