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

[Scrug]

Why oh why does MC play the tree when a bit of tempo is required, The guy is a ucking stiff

Who does he play instead?

 

[Blindschool]

I don't want to come across pessimistic, but I think we might lose this one

Careful, you'll be called a bed wetter.

 

[Robbieboro]

We've not had an out ball at all. No pace anywhere and really sloppy passes, suicidal at times. We've barely left our defensive third.

Agreed! We are messing about at the back and even if we were to go long there is nothing up there as an out ball.

 

[Littlefella68]

If we just get the bus home , don't we lose 3-0 by default. Kind of like FIFA rage quit

 

[Hap]

Let’s try and win the half.

 

[Blindschool]

WE
ARE
A
MID
CHAMPIONSHIP
TEAM


We have punched well above our weight to be in the semis and had some jammy draws to help.
Very few of our players would get into their 2nd team - thats the difference.

A league one side wouldn't capitulate like this.

 

[Stocko]

Oh now here comes the Chelsea half time wankfest

I think it could go down to the wire. Would someone help me remove this strait jacket please?

York are winning at Oxford City

Funny how Clarke and almost all of our players are ***** now isn’t it? They were quality a couple of weeks ago.

What happened?

Some of you need a massive dose of perspective. They’re a quality outfit, whatever you think of them. We’re a depleted squad doing the best we can.

Here's the perspective: This would be easier to stomach if they'd had to work hard for literally any of it, we've f*cked about and made mistake after mistake at the back and handed them it on a silver platter.

I know I shouldn't let it get to me, but the fact that Chelsea fans are all over our Twitter with witty remarks like "Hold" and "small club" is really saddening. Those people will never understand football.

 

[dribble]

I can take getting beat. What I find difficult is some posters berating our players when they are playing against much better opposition.

It's churlish and I hope to god none of them look at this match thread tomorrow.

Howson, barlaser, Clarke, Hackney, crooks and rogers have all had accusations thrown at them. Let's not descend into this. We are disappointed but let's be grown up about it.

They should look at this thread, there’s 4000 fans down there and some of the players simply haven’t turned up.
You can’t excuse Hackney not turning round and just blindly playing it back to Barlasser.

Agree, that have was disgraceful but I'm now not gonna say that they're not good enough when they're playing against a team worth £1bn and as you say we've got about 8 players out.

More annoyed with our approach to defending, it has been so passive, you've got to make it hard for them and put them under pressure but we just sat off them until they were playing passes into our box with ease.

The playing out from the back doesn't even bother me, it's the way we play and we're gonna stick to that, no point lumping it all game and letting them have the ball back when we're not that kind of team. Might have been different if we had Latte Lath and Jones running in behind but we have nothing up there tonight.

They will never have been to a live football match, so whatever they say is completely worthless to me.

REMEMBER STEAUA!

TWO QUICK GOALS AND THIS IS ON!!

F*CKING COME ON BORO!

 

[Laughing]

What utter nonsense. It isn't capitulation. We are playing against a better side.

 

[Casey_99]

All the neutrals were supporting us from what I have seen on Facebook. Not just because we are the underdogs. It’s a universal hatred of Chelsea, their obscene wealth, their thuggish following and arrogance beyond belief. I would rather follow a club supported by local fans, not tourists, whose money we know was legally obtained, and one that the rest of the football fan base have more respect for.

Had that from loads of footie supporting colleagues at work today in West Sussex. All wanting Boro because they hate Chelsea

 

[mfc-merseyside]

Only positive is at least it’s not Newcastle doing this to us.

1 unfortunate own goal, 1 poor defending and 2 self-inflicted
