Is this ref watching the play at all? I really don't think it's me being biased, but how many little pushes in the back and ankle-taps is he going to completely ignore?

Is Rojo at it again ?

I've always thought Jon Moss has been terrible.

Never really noticed either way. Just seems that these lot are niggling as a disruptive game-plan and getting away with it same as a few others recently. God knows we're not excelling anyway but rules are rules and the refs need to be on the ball.
How was Rash and Mata getting felled within seconds of each other not a free kick? How was Mata getting dragged back not a free-kick (glad it wasn't cos we went on to score but that's a hell of a tenuous advantage to play!)

[Jonnny]

Got to say, I know it's Middlesborough - but we are playing pretty well.. Completely outdoing them in every position.

[Alpinestars]

Terrible tactics. Very disappointed with 8 at the back. Wtf is Maureen doing.

[Gavia]

Went 2-0 up and then immediately went defensive and encouraged them onto us. We've gone from bossing this game to hanging on

[57Ford]

It's a new formation on me. But it does bring results by distracting their keeper it seems.

His drumming on karma chameleon was pretty crap it has to be said.

Yep. I can't abide wins like this one. Really really negative, and st defending despite having 8 defenders. No excuse for that in my book.

I think the schedule and injuries dictated that.jose was worried,excessively so I think.

OMG. We've done it, we're not 6th anymore

Yes, although the problem he has is that which defenders does he play as they all seem a bit iffy at times, recently anyway. I guess if you have them all on, he figures just force of numbers will get the job done. Completely gave up possession in midfield though, which creates an issue. Would have made more sense if he pushed Jones up to midfield or something, try to press further up.

Jesse took his goal really well though, and looked to have his rocket boots on today. Also Valencia with the classic example of never give up, because you never know.

Ugly. No need to be honest.

I hadn't realised Arsenal had fallen so far.

Am I reading this right too that we've two games in hand on Liverpool in 4th?

In 45 minutes we will have and one on City

Terrible and embarrassing performance but we got 3 points.

We've played far far better and got draws, so it was about time we won while being crap!

[franki68]

Bear in mind they basically played 3 games in 5 and a half days, fk the performance it was only about the result.

[ORD]

I agree. But, my oh my was it turgid stuff!
