Skates at home please. A chance to right the wrongs of that pathetic display cooked up by Still a few months ago.

Reminds me more of football under Koeman. Hitting teams on the counter with pace and directness with good finishing at the end of it. Very fun to watch.

Without a doubt my favourite player since Lambert. Just a joy to watch every week.

Yes. Not only is he the best central midfielder we have, he will thrive in this direct system we have adopted under TE.

No but the clowns that run this club did try and fill his position with Damien Downs

He had a few games like that early on where he was always receiving the ball and looking to play forward, sometimes even playing balls that other players either weren’t good enough to get on the end of or didn’t get near because of shit tactics. To be fair he’s had a few moments where I’ve thought fucking hell that is terrible. The touch 6 yards out and miss at Charlton for example, but he has always very obviously been a good player completely misused (or not used at all) until recently. There aren’t many better attacking 3’s in this league than Scienza Azaz and Fellows when he joins the attack. Also worth remembering that he missed a good chunk of preseason for boro through injury.

This thread makes for some very funny reading Theres still time to delete your posts.

You know Saints are the team in red and white, yeah?

Every time I see Fellows, Scienza and Azaz picking teams apart I lol at this fraud of a manager who not only couldn’t get a tune out of them, had 2 of them on the fucking bench

Yeah must have been his stomach that asked to leave in January too.

The championships two top scoring sides in November going head to head. 0-0

11/1 I got on that. Thanks for being so predictable SR.

I don’t really get the big issue with Manning this season. He is playing as a wing back, not a full back. Apart from us getting countered quickly there shouldn’t be many situations where Manning is left isolated and either a mistake or him getting beaten directly leads to a chance or goal. If that happens either the left centre back has gone AWOL or one of the midfield 2 hasn’t dropped in. Milwall’s first goal for example. Stephens is miles away marking fresh air around the penalty spot, by the time he realises he’s left Manning 2v1 it’s too late and he comes scrambling out but gets nowhere near it. If he’s out there covering where he should be they might not equalise and Manning doesn’t look like a headless chicken. I wouldn’t want Manning in a back 4 still though.

Amen.

Get Aribo the fuck away from this football club if he is not prepared to make any effort
