Oh wait, it led to a goal scoring opportunity.

But criticising Milner seems to be on the menu today so why not try that


Well as it was a fuck up from boro that led to it, should we assume our game plan today is reliant on the opposition fucking up?

At least he had the balls to take it on - and not to hide after kicking at fresh air with the first attempt.

What was the fuck up?

I like to see him try to make something instead of pass to wide, cross without anyone making a run, clearance, back to square one

Kun's cheeky shit chip ignoring Jojo at the far post waiting to pounce.

About time for us to concede I reckon.

Well the defender headed it to a boro player and silva knicked it.

However saying Milner is not yaya isn't really a criticism, who is? And milners game is not Yaya's game, so why is he trying to play it?

This game is like one of those frustrating 'Football Manager' games where the opposition has superman as a goalkeeper.

Noticeable that Boro putting in plenty of meaty challenges but we seem reluctant to.

Their keeper is doing well, but we really should be one up.

Kompany looks nervy. Really needs this game time to sharpen up.

Ah, we were talking about different situation. I meant the pass forward to Aguero

But yes, you are correct and he should just play his own game
