O'Brien back on the bench waheyyyy

O brien on the bench?!

Obrian back, him and hackney best cm partnership in the champo

Eyyyyyy, happy days.

What a boost that is. Regardless of the score tonight that's already a big lift.

Chelsea at full strength just about 🤔

 

 

Shame about Clarke thought he was excellent against villa. Wonder if it’s a fitness issue 

Latte Lath's pace against a 39 year old Thiago Silva, please do something.

I would go with

Glover

VDB Fry Engel

Jones Barlaser Howson Hackney Bangura

Crooks

LL

I was going to go for Clarke over Engel but we will need Clarke for Millwall away so we can go back to a 4 man defence with VDB at RB and asking him to play 3 games in 7 days might be asking a bit much.

1 point to me.

Great to see Obrien on the bench

Yeah it is. He been out for 14 months so cant be expected to play 2 games in 3 days.

He will be back v Millwall when we go to a back 4 I imagine.

It's less of a team and more like "all of our fit players shoehorned into a formation" but the atmosphere should be electric. I fancy a cheeky 2-1 boro win. UTB!

If we stick with the 3-5-2. O’brien with barlaser and Hackney 😮‍💨

It would be interesting to try, O’Briens legs in midfield would probably bring out a lot more from barlaser. I’d prefer to see a midfield of o’brien and Hackney going forward though.

Its hard to compete against money - Cash in the last game and Sterling tonight....

Pride of Teesside..........................................simple!
