* The Unofficial “Official” Chelsea v Boro - Carabao Cup SF [2nd leg] Match-Night Thread *

[Cuthbert]

Is howson struggling to get into this or trying too hard… not criticising because of the OG, just seems off the pace?

Gary Neville doesn't sound like a fan of the 'hybrid' role Howson is playing.

 

[Scrug]

Looks like a step too far for this depleted squad. Still, I’d rather support this Boro team than that awful, morally bankrupt shitpot of a club.

Haven’t heard a peep out of them until the goals went in.

 

[SydneyRed]

We will get a chance at some point to get a goal…alas I think Chelsea will score more yet…..very hard to get back into this one.

 

[ForssAwakens]

Engel with the first mistake

Absolutely F***ing ****.

You need to play these teams… not F***ing sit back and throw in a desperate tackle on the 18 yard box

The game plan is b***ks and needs to change PDQ

Spot on. We're so passive it's ridiculous.

They have players who's wages cost more than our squad, what do you expect us to do?

 

[DonTheKing]

Game over. Never mind always a top 10 finish to look forward to.

 

[dribble]

We’re playing with 9 men at the moment,Crooks and Hackney gone missing, going backwards when we have a chance to break,

 

[Jedi boro]

Nothing really changed to be fair we score it’s level

I know give me those straws and I’ll grip em

 

[Laughing]

Dear me are we really that defeatist? There is an hour of football to play. Jesus.

 

[Boro_Madrid]

Been a poor start. 2 really soft goals to be honest. Could be a blood bath now I fear.

 

[homesickblues]

Our tackling for the 50/50 balls is really weak, both goals we missed tackles, need to improve in this area.

Football-invented by the poor
Stolen by the rich

How's it not changed then? Before their second if we scored we were ahead again.

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

Got to get to half time without conceding again.

 

[Ayresome_park]

Crooks is completely out of his depth here!!

 

[Alwaysaborolad]

Well we might as well go for it now!!! sitting back is clearly not working to plan...

 

[Scrug]

Can’t believe there are people on here who genuinely think we’re good enough to go toe-to-toe with a side who have one player who cost more than our entire squad

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Dear me are we really that defeatist? There is an hour of football to play. Jesus.

I'm with you, there's plenty of football to be played before we are out.

 

[Acklam_Lad]

Won us the first game mate.

It didn’t we played them and won
