richmfc 41 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 We showed real intent today and conceded 3. We showed little intent at Watford and conceded 0. Read into that what you will We showed real intent today should of scored 3 goals to balance it out the defence was missing today. The game at watford was boring however we did not conceede but did not look like scoring i prefered today becuase we went for the win, might be an argument for doing the watford performances away but performances like today at home. I think most supporters would agree with you but not sure karanka will Link to post Share on other sites
gephind 7 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 We all know where i stand with AK, but his comments about the fans is a total disgrace. Problem is now with only 10 days of the transfer left its near on impossible to replace him and expect someone to take over, with enough time to sign players. So we need to get behind the team, manager and club and trust them May I please ask you then sir to practise what you preach, because your comments seem to fall well short of that.

GwenStuani 4 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Having read the comments I'm not to fussed if i'm honest. Think it roughly translates as "please show me some loyalty". Without him - he is right, we would be lingering in league one. Probably still shouldn't have said it - not that it makes anything he said wrong. I think i am more upset with the local RAG coming out with "AITOR SLAMS FANS". Did he? or did he slightly criticise them for this one match (out for 150+ he has managed)? What's that? Boro fans criticise the team daily yet are criticised once themselves they go home to their message boards crying and sobbing claiming foul and uncalled for. :s Big babies, grow up ya fannies :D Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 If Traore hadnt been moved onto the right hand side we would've got something out of that game. Destroyed his effectiveness, and therefore our threat. Link to post Share on other sites

Rioch's Braves 711 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Nowt up with the atmosphere today, Karanka is getting some mileage out of the look where you where when I came, fair do's but you've been backed to the hilt by the chairman with transfer funds milking it nearly every time he's criticized. Whether Karanka likes it or not 4 wins out of 22 is shocking. Link to post Share on other sites

Destroyed his effectiveness, and therefore our threat. I think he moved him to protect our Rh side a bit as that's where all thier danger came from first half nar, you don't put stuani on the right to protect it, he drifts inside more time's than someone in a inflatable with a puncture in water. plus he couldn't protect a sandcastle, so thats not a valid reason.

SmogDane 4,057 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 If anyone can get butthurt from Karankas rant, then our fans have some real cry baby issues. Omfg I really hope we get a win soon, cause everywhere Boro fans have a chance to be keyboard warriors, it's frustrating to read. :) I loved, that we TRIED today and we showed some heart. But it's football, some times you lose, especially as a newly promoted side. Football isn't fair in any way... I believe the Liverpool fans cry a lot today as well. The stats from that game are crazy, but Swans score the most goals and got the points. Still 10 days to improve the squad, spring is coming and I fear not relegation. I believe we will get better, and luckier. Haters gonna hate Link to post Share on other sites

boro-unger 3,870 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Thought it was a pretty decent game today and we didn't play badly at all. The 3-1 flattered them, it was a typical smash and grab. I believe if Carroll hadn't been playing, we'd have won that. Unfortunately, what he lacks in grace and decorum, he makes up for in his attacking prowess. Traore had a great game, he was absolutely torturing their defence, both left and right sides. His end product was pretty good as well, couple of cut backs in the first half that were begging for a tap in and a few decent crosses in the second half. I also think Espinosa had a great game. Some of those tackles he made were so important. Like when he knicked it off Lanzini on the edge of the box after a long run. Good stuff. We were unlucky that that chance that pinged off the crossbar didn't go in and Gestedes decent shot went just wide... on another day that would have been a decent win.

I think he moved him to protect our Rh side a bit as that's where all thier danger came from first half But in doing so we nullified a player who was completely dominating his opposite number. Cresswell was having a mare so we just decided to give him the second half off. It was a *** decision and in my opinion it's cost us points. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
