Great performance against a good team. Well deserved victory.

Is this the first game this season where MVE doesn't take a long throw-in?

He took one right at the start

The pant wetters can change their pad and have sweet dreams tonight.

I mean he’s not wrong. On paper we’re up there with Ipswich’s squad for quality of player. The problem we have is the performance isn’t always there. Tonight we were on it from minute one, we’ve got to get as close to that as possible for another 14.

to all the negative fans, fucking ave it

I have been very complimentary to Boro but my bro in law went to the game and is a neutral and he said he wasn't that impressed and cov looked better

No.29’s name nearly sounds like the Greek pronunciation of Wanker ‘Malaka’

We used to have a poster with that name.

@Brighton Sky Blue hold the line mate! We’re finishing the job.

What a night, what a performance and what a result. The standard has been set for the run in, needs to be maintained.

After Ipswich play their two games in hand we’ll have a very good idea of what’s required.

 

[Ibby]

To good

An amazing night at the CBS

The team worked so hard. Played with intensity from start to finish

Amazing finish from wright for the second goal

I personally thought Middlesbrough looked a quality outfit. Klopp like off the ball and pep like on it. Everytime we won ball back it seemed like matte rofntime till they win it back. That said they didn't make many clear cut chances

I do think they will win slot of games till end of season though so we need to take this performance and mentality into our remaining games. 14 games left. 8-9 wins might do it but we may need double figures depending on how our rivals

But for tonight just enjoy the amazing win. Tonight was a win for the real fans

Great night. PUSB

Wow - Klopp, Pep and Slot mentioned here

 

[quinn1971]

just annoying it took a game like that to wake up, I’d be a bit embarrassed if I’d written us off after the Oxford game,

 

[curly_tom]

Well that was more than a tad lucky. They were much the better side except for the first 20 minutes. We have forgotten how to play possession football. Long ball long ball long ball.

On the plus side Wright back to form and so was Rudoni. The much maligned Lati looked tighter on his man than Kitching. Thomas also had a good game, why on earth was he left out against Oxford

Sakamoto is so frustrating. Ghastly against oxford, so tricky tonight

....and Frank the Tank does look the sort of player we needed

I thought Sakamoto was excellent against Oxford. Weird how we all see things so differently !

 

[David O'Day]

Just back from a school night post game celebration pint and all I can say is "Hellball" seems to be pssing the ball about but being really open at the back. Bit like us at the end of last season.

Said if they were that open wed score a couple, i was wrong.

We scored 3.

 

[hamil99]

A proper grid it our result tonight, something we've been lacking in recently.

Frank the tank is the missing piece, only his first game and he looked in control and covered space in the middle of the pitch excellently.

Haji looking like a premier league striker, strong and smart positioning throughout the match, unlucky to only hit the post with his first chance.

Having a full squad and being able to make substitutions that don't bring the level down is a massive plus for the rest of the season.

For all the Lati haters you have to admit he did an excellent job tonight.

We now need to take this performance forward and smash West Brom away from home.

PUSB

Want to give kudos to everyone at cbs tonight, bit quiet in patches but overall was fantastic atmosphere to watch that game in.
More of this please !!

Lati is really good if you don't expect him to be passing it out from the back and allow him just to concentrate on defending

 

[wingy]

Emc back is good news

It's almost like the injury was a made up story and he was saved for tonight.

 

[Matt smith]

Sakamoto first half was unbelievable

absolutely unreal

 

[wingy]

Don’t doubt Clinton.

They may be rare but there all belters.

 

[Captain Dart]

City have still got a lot to do.
Ipswich are pressing hard.
Boro are still a form team.
Millwall are not done yet either.
I don't think Hull will stay the pace though.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Boro were fantastic and I for one am gutted they lost.

Their play on the ball was fantastic and they deserve to go up... TOP!

You what, are you for real, pathetic statement

 

[wingy]

I dunno if me watching their GK for close on a full hour,and put a curse on him.
He was very impressive in the practice but not so much when it really counted.

 

[Lamps]

Think we’re getting rolled over tonight. 1-3

At least you got the score correct

 

[StrettoBoy]

Frank the tank is the missing piece, only his first game and he looked in control and covered space in the middle of the pitch excellently.

I agree.

Not only is he a very good player at this level but more importantly he is exactly the sort of player that we needed. Could turn out to be a very astute piece of business.

 

[David O'Day]

To be fair that is clearly tongue in cheek

To be fair that is clearly tongue in cheek

I would think so but you never know with him/her

Could, should have been four.

It’s incredible people still can’t see it

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I would think so but you never know with him/her

perhaps get your other braincell fatso, rub together and you may work out it was a joke

 

[Cov kid 55]

Well it wasn’t much of a joke to be fair…. Jokes are supposed to make you laugh…

 

[robbiethemole]

Utterly clueless analysis from you as usual

he's pissed, it's his birthday remember???

 

[robbiethemole]

It was a shoulder to the face, not much better and fairly sure it was intentional

needs looking at by the review panel and retro 3 match ban like Asante. ( but it won't )

 

[baldy]

At least you got the score correct

Those pesky Teesiders ruined my prediction of 3-0 City

 

[Frostie]

Tremendous performance. Full credit to Lampard, you could see the work that had gone in to our off the ball efforts & the boys carried it out superbly. Did an absolute number on them. 🩵
