    The Argies doing it for us again. Hopefully this is a farewell to Eriksen, can't leave soon enough.

    To be fair we had to expect that mate.

    With our central midfield, one can’t pass and one can’t pass forward <laugh>.

    Think of all the money the club is saving on clean bonuses for the players

    Clean sheets are boring anyway, I’ve never liked them

    BBC reporting of the 'Boro' goal on their website was a bit naughty.
    When Saville scored, they commented "Now then!". Tut tut.

    Have you been reading John Terry's autobiography?

    Awful second half. Oh well, not exactly onwards and upwards but just onwards...

    God that was awful.

    A half decent opposition and Spurs would be out.

    Not looking forward to going to the scummers.

    Very hard work, should have won by 4 or 5, but still in the cup and maybe we have found a right back

    Very few positives to take from that, beyond the performances of Tanganga, Lo Celso and Lamela. Oh and the fact that I am positive we should offload Eriksen ASAP.

    Pretty awful stuff once again I am afraid.

    Only Spurs would scrape a 2-1 win when we should've won about 5-0.

    Lamela had a great first half but I think he ran out of steam in the second. Lo Celso worked hard but too many stray passes. Tanganga should be our right back looks convincing to me already.

    I’m still none the wiser as to what style Mourinho wants the team to play?

    It’s not like there’s a clear aim and it’s a case of the players getting used to it or getting in players that fit the philosophy, it just seems to be random from game to game.

    Tanganga is a raw talent though isn’t he. Exciting future for him

    It's also worrying when Winks is more creative than Eriksen over 90 minutes against a poor Championship team. And I thought Winks was pretty dreadful, to set the bar height!
