Post Match Middlesbrough 1 Leicester 0

[give_us_a_wave]

We have so much of the ball but create next to nothing.
Same v QPR, same v Leeds, same today.

Didn't we used to have a manager some time ago that produced that sort of thing week after week?

Can't recall his name now. But I remember people weren't happy.

Cobblers

We created more than enough to win the game. The two each from KDH and Iheanacho are clear goal scoring chances all day long. To not score anything from any of them is piss poor. They both ****ed them up completely

Add in Vesty’s header and that’s five clear cut chances that could have been taken and should have yielded at least two or three goals

I've edited out the bit where anyone dares criticise big boy Nacho and his magical feet and kept the stuff that is spot on.

I saw.

But that's not true. We created plenty, it just so happens that we had two ****ing clowns in Ihenacho and KDH who couldn't hit the target.

Only read the text updates but it seemed we had loads of chances and didn't take any.

Yep

But it is the whole system that is to blame, apparently, not the people who are missing them

’kin idiots

That’s about right. KDH particular profligate

Our xG was only 0.8.

 

[Jimmy Lad]

Our xG was only 0.8.

Exactly

 

[popillius]

And we know the value of xG.

Well, some of us do.

 

[fitz]

Our xG was only 0.8.

Yeah but that's just a randomly made up number.

The Leeds result wasn't a concern for me as they're a good side and we'll not play many as good as them. Losing to the likes of Boro is something we can't afford to do too often. Hopefully a striker is seen as a priority for January.

Or, that Cannon is decent.

Forgot about him tbh. Hopefully he is.

 

[londonfox]

Disappointing way to go into the break. I can’t fathom why we aren’t better as an attacking unit. Nacho and Vardy should be making hay.

Why should they?

One is no longer physically good enough, even at Championship level. And one is not as good as some think he is, and nowhere near as good as good as one TB’er claims that he is.

Both will score goals at this level. But neither will consistently and neither should be our regular starting striker.

 

[alex]

TBF, Nacho wasn't great but still hit the post.

 

[londonfox]

Cannon has to be given a run of games now. Neither Ihenacho nor Vardy deserve, on form, to start games. Put Cannon in the team and let’s see what he can do.

Hitting the post should be seen as a good thing?

 

[homer]

TBF, Nacho wasn't great but still hit the post.

Should have scored - but not as much as he should have with his other one

He’s shite

He’s shite

The one that sailed over the corner flag or the one that he just nudged straight to the keeper?
