This was your equivalent of Utd's masterclass victory against Chelsea. I.e. only one team came to give a shit. ;)
A lot of similarities indeed. Chelsea were playing with two defenders coming from injury, giving a debut to a youngster and with first and second striker not starting. ;)

Has Bamford got any minutes for Boro, he was supposed to be where Kane is now.

No Kante. Not happy with that.

Let's send these northern monkeys back to the abyss from whence they came.
It's understandable no? In a home game against Middlesbrough you'd expect to dominate the game against a defensively organised team set up to defend. No need for 2 defensive minded midfielders, but Fabregas instead to unlock their defense.

Then surely Conte has the Friday game in mind too and is resting Kante for what could be the clincher (and harder game).

Kante must have been drunk after celebrating FWA Player of the Year award. This guy is tireless and never needs any sick leave.

He has missed training for a few days with a thigh injury. I don't think he is being rested.

You're right thugh when you say we should not need him tonight but I'm not sure what sort of game-plan Boro will use. If they don't win, they're relegated.

He's a fecking beast is Adama.

If he could catch a ball he'd be a great winger in rugby, he's already got the speed and build.

The other average squad player in our team are not top of anything, stat wise like Traore..e.g., Traore has the best dribbling stat in whole of Europe.
Lingard has the best off the ball stat in the league, and Fellaini has the best chest control stat in the league.

Costa has been awful last few Chelsea games I've seen, how they still manage to score goals and top the league with him in this form is a testament to just how average our attackers have been. Without Ibra or Rashford we don't look like we'll score ever

That means absolutely nothing.
Says someone who has no clue on how to build a good squad. That stats is a good indicator of the attacking threat he brings to a team. Although, you have to analyze his overall performance that stat noted could be useful for most team if utilize properly.

You must have the best comedic stat on redcafe because that was funny.

What attacking threat? He has little to no end product. A "successful dribble" is only worth something if it helps build an attack. For all that "successful dribble" stat is he could be running 10 yards, then turning around and passing back. Or losing the ball in a pass or cross which he has done a LOT this season.
