Middlesbrough away match thread

Tommy is just walking about, instead of closing down their CBs when they have the ball.

He’s the only one up there at the moment and borough have 3 men back there, he will always get passed around. All for pressing down a man when it makes sense, not wasting energy just for the sake of it.

It's funny how people view the game. 

Boro have possession a bit higher up the pitch but not putting our goal under any pressure 

I think we look comfortable 

Some people think having a “good” performance is dominating the ball for 90 minutes and the opposition keeper making 10+ saves.

Not being 2-0 up away from home and defending the lead against a team who on paper, should be substantially higher than us in the league.

Theyve also had 6 days rest instead of 3, and did zero travelling since the Chelsea game.

Why does it feel like in Manning we have a bit of LJ? Silly tinkering of formations. 
4 at the back working fine then switches back to a 3 and leaves us wide open in wide areas. 
Almost trying to be too clever imo. 

If stays 2-0 then it worked!

Maybe it gives us that extra body in midfield screening the width of the pitch as we don’t exactly need more goals

I agree. People will no doubt say we’ve been poor this half. I would say we’ve defended well
