We are down if we dont win tomorrow, but if we win tomorrow that drags Swansea right into the mire, we are close to climbing out the relegation zone and get our tails up with big games coming up. Do not have a downer we still have 2 games in hand after today and the outlook could be so much different after tomorrow. Cmon on Boro

Someone over on FMTTM is saying it's the same team that started against Man Utd. Hope not, Benerdo who is a liability at the back and negredo alone upfront again who is low on confidence to put it lightly is a disaster waiting to happen.
-
Hopefully we play a 4,4,2 wouldn't be upset if i got it wrong and negredo played upfront instead of Bamford but want to see some intent on winning the game not this one lone man upfront constantly on his own.
-
Man u game encouraged me because we gave it a good go and finally grew some balls by going forward (ok the quality was still horrific but we deserved a goal for the effort). Getting players in the box when the crosses came in, getting a goal, playing 2 upfront in the last 30 mins and pressing high was all good signs. If we play like that we might actually get some goals against swansea and might actually win the game, hopefully we can get the first goal early to give the guys confidence. I think Joe Jordan coming in as an ex striker and working with the squad is the best move we have done sinc

If Ayala plays im not watching it, hes a disgrace he was defiantly one of them that forced karanka out of the door and all he does is fowls people, play fry whos hungry and wants to wear the shirt. How could Ayala be one of the players who forced Karanka out of the door, he's hardly played this season due to injury and also Chambers keeping him out. Ayala must have hypnotic or magic powers to influence the poor performances we've been watching. Which performance this season when Ayala has played, have u seen he where he has played well and looked bothered?. You can influence things in th

Yep. Same. Same, if we play like that (certainly until man u scored) against Swansea they dont have the same quality of players Man u do, so i think we could win it and wouldnt that put a smile on everyones face.

Positives from today- - We got a goal against a prem side!, no need for an explanation with that one. - Until they scored we played high pressing and i think that surprised Man U at the start they were not sure what to do about that. - Gaston was so much better today im betting he was one of them that massively fell out with karanka. - Fabio did well pressing up the pitch the whole game. - We gave Man u a game, sure the quality wasn't their but it wasnt under karanka either if we go down i wanna go down playing like that. - We played 4,4,2 and we got a goal so we know it works. - I

Reckon Valdes had a bet on for us to lose 3-1...
-
Bet all the people been negative only 10 mins ago have been silenced now... Cmon on boro lets go and get an equaliser
-
Cant beleive the negativity on here, yes we are not sitting back and getting battered for 90 mins and losing 1-0 with a chance of going forward in the last minuet. On the other hand in not bored and close to switching the game off and we have a chance of winning against swansea if we play like this.
-
2 changes please Stuani on for Leadbitter and Fry on for Bernardo. Lets go 2 up top and can we have a decent cross in please when we do get forward its not much to ask. Cmon on boro we can do this...
-
Offensively it's been much better and at one point I even saw 4 players in the box. You can see that the players have a little more freedom to move around but unfortunately it always goes back to quality and confidence. Agnew has a nigh-on impossible job because we don't have the technique or creativity bar Gaston Ramirez. If we go down id rather go down playing like this and giving it a go than not giving a go....
-
Ill tell you what i think well score today and get beat 2-1, we pressed for 30 mins but reverted back to the "karanka way" once we went one nil down, but i think agnew is gonna tell them to snap out of that during half time and i bet the Joe Jordan is gonna be offering advice to them as well how to get at Man u. Overall im happier than ive been in ages watching Boro, i dont think the quality is their but the effort, pressing high and positive attitude is alot better.
-
Id of put Gibson and Fry (in my defence he did ok against man city) in today.
-
One thing ive noticed is where the f..k is Bamford (not even on the bench), we spend god knows on him he is a striker that is capable of getting goals and offers something different to Negredo or Guestede. Why dont we put him on the bench with the intention of giving him a shot if nobody else is delivering.
-
I dont agree with his line up, but i am prepared to give him a shot it might be that he changes boros approach instead of the formation or it might be just man u where hes gonna play this formation and against swansea he will change it.
-
I really hope leadbitter plays today not only has he got the ability to get a goal, he will fight for every ball and Man u wont fancy taking someone like him on. The other thing is if its true and that man u squad are feeling fatigued, theyll hate playing against Troare but id put bamford or stuani upfront someone with the energy to keep up with him. So something like this would be good - ...............................Valdes................................... Fabio...........Barragan........Gibson.............Friend Traore........Leadbitter......Clayton..............Downing/gaston (if m

Thats a bit premature we can still turn it around if we get something at Man u and beat Swansea baring in mind we have 2 weeks of international break to start sorting things out after man u we will be right back in the mix.
-
Watching the mackems game, ive got to say burnley on top id of said so far.
-
Got to say im a big watford fan today crucial they win.
-
I can see where people are coming from with Rednapp speculation but it could be that Agnew asked for help with the offensive side of the game and Gibson went and got Joe Jordan who was a striker and an experienced coach.
-
Got to say its nice too have an ex forward in the background staff someone to give an alternative view on the way we should play and to work with the strikers helping them to develop also to get back their confidence they have lost.
-
I dont care as long as if we go one nil down or more he does go for it and put 2 strikers upfront instead of not changing like for like even against teams like Man u. Thats the thing about karanka that got me mad its the not going for it when we were losing anyway.
