I suppose this would be the end of our winning streak.

Bob’s happy at least…

Sterling/Jackson/Palmer is an upgrade on Werner/Havertz/Mount. Only Havertz has gone on to still look decent at top level

 

Enzo/Caicedo prior to joining Chelsea looked miles better than Jorginho or Kovacic (Kante was barely playing). Neither Jorginho or Kovacic have looked great since leaving.

Nah, Havertz is as bad as ever. He has single-handedly made Arsenal toothless as a team. Did you see him against Liverpool?

Poch's level is exhibition football, public training sessions devoid of aggressive intent or players moving out of positions, communicating on the pitch or showing any dissent .... this team has been corrupted by some bs philosophy of Poch's football family

It’s like Sunday morning when you only had 7 players and you phone Dave’s mate Chris who has a mate with boots and might know someone else. You end up with a bare 11 lads, who have to call each other by given names and if they are booked give the goalies name.

Youre hanging from a huge session the night before.

Even then we tried harder than this.

That is brilliant Carlo. 😄

Middlesbrough are absolutely dreadful. And they've still beaten us.

Disgraceful performance, well done Borough you deserve your win

A new low. Such a poor display. I cannot see what Pochettino is trying to achieve with the players he's got. It's a shambles. The odd win here and there disguises the basic fact that this set up is sh*t

Well, let's get behind them for the second leg 

Come on you BLUES 

Palmer should have put those chances away but not going to ahve a go at him since he's been one of our best players. We still have 1 more leg at the bridge which I'm confident we will win

Bottle jobs.

Dreadful effort. Poor everywhere. Headless chickens from the owners to the gaffer to the pitch. Don't know what's happening to us but I hope they sort it and sort it quickly. Hopefully we'll beat them at the Bridge. 

Ah that was great entertainment.

 

First half was Coles impression of the most laid back Kai Havertz you ever saw, and second half all those over hit or over hit passes, awful control, inability to link up with teammates. Was hilarious. 

 

Well done Boro for the fight and work ethic they showed, but Palmer should have buried them.

Much as I enjoyed Just's sustained TV violence, this one is "post of the night" for me.

Oh my aching jaws LOL

 

No intensity, no commitment, no passion, no clue.....don't deserve to get to the final to be embarrassed by Fulham.   These players should be ashamed of this performance.

Thiago Silva leading by example and running over to applaud the travelling support. Most of the rest of them looked like they'd rather be anywhere else.

Colwill is playing out of position here but remember he was playing him there with Chilwell in front of him. Just let that sink in for a bit ffs 

why on earth does he keep playing players so out of position I just don’t get it

We’re lucky there’s a 2nd leg.

Are we? 

 

 

 

Very nice of Howson to lie and say we are a good team.

Could have played for a week and still wouldn’t have scored, we truly are woeful.

They were but they have 14 first teamers out Let that sink in. Reserve championship side and we couldn't score one. Not good. 

 

We will win the 2nd leg comfortably.

This team have cost people their hair this season alone, week after week tearing their hair out watching this dross......I want compensation🤔 or at the very least an opportunity to rant

I once got the boat to Holyhead, hitchhiked to London, sang my heart out for 90 minutes while wtaching Oxford beat us 1-4. 

 

That was dross - this is a young team, with a new manager, at the beginning of what will hopefully lead to a bright future. They deserve, at the very least, a bit of respect.
