Once Mitro has rested up and his ankle is ok again he will be raring to go again

The cross was the right one since it resulted in a goal, but it was actually caused by poor defence on Boro's left flank where a defender was caught ball watching instead of closing down the space Knockaert ran into.

We are lacking cover for mitro and when I say that I mean an out and out striker with his height a key differentiator to our other forward players.

Yes I’m not a fan of it, didn’t even like it when duff used to do it. But it has helped us of late with goals from cav and knockaert

This is not a nonsense thread and we shouldn’t just write off well intentioned comments (I thought we were going to be more tolerant this year?).  Although I don’t agree we are “better” without Mitro, different yes, better no.
However I did think we played some lovely fluid football last night and can’t see why Toshes Mate thinks we observed through rose tinted specs.

Then read my fuller post elsewhere, please.

I did and still beg to disagree. Sorry, just a different viewpoint I guess.

Opinions will always vary but I hold by my words and have also updated on comments elsewhere, since it seems I do not make myself clear enough for some ...

I disagree on so many levels but let’s address the exaggeration (presumably to try to bolster your point).  We played beautifully for just over 30 mins of the first half. That alone is a third of the match not “a measly quarter”.  We also reverted to that dominance for a period after Stef Jo replaced TC.  Add it together and you get just short of half the match.

I disagree with you on all that you have written, but so what?

Well all I wrote was duration of time so either we were using different watches or took a different view of how long we played well for.  I didn’t write anything else that you could dispute.

General Discussion / Re: Odois offside goal

« Last post by toshes mate on Today at 11:05:26 AM »

There was a white offsides, but not one involved in the play and not Mr. Odoi.


This was a 2-0 win, and a good overall performance.

I have just seen the replay (courtesy of a mate) and concur.  The marginal possible offside occurred on the opposite side to Odoi.

The goal last night once again showed the benefit of a ball whipped in from the left by a left footer , so much harder to defend against. ball in that corridor of uncertainty between keeper and defenders .That leaves defenders having to clear facing their own goal , none of them want to touch it .
