Boro v Wall- Match thread

[High Life Street 2.0]

Boro had rabbit in headlights feel to them, like they didn't know how to get started what with being completely boxed in by us for the entire game.

 

[BigPaul]

Great goal and great result. Tactics spot on and we should have scored a few more. Casper looked good and Hutch superb. Great future for the two kids.
7th and the only away win in the championship.

Apart from Southampton last night of course.

 

[BigPaul]

Thought Flemming wasn’t at the races (again) today!

If he’s not careful and doesn’t buck his ideas up, it could be Esse starting games as our No. 10!

Completely disagree. He was excellent at times.

 

[Lionarm]

I knew Esse was good, but Emakhu is a matchwinner. Not only his pace, but he actually picked out Esse. Those two are diamonds.

His pass was Emakhulate and I could write an Esse about the finish.


And I'll get my coat.

You don’t win anything with kids…….

 

[BigPaul]

The thing I was most impressed about with Emakhu was how he just waited for about a second for the defender to commit himself before knocking the ball forward, leaving the defender for dead.
That was not only impressive, but showed a maturity way beyond his years.

Esse's finish was absolutely sublime. No goalkeeper in the world was going to save that. Absolutely stunning.
I am just delighted for both of them.

Agree, Esse’s finish was sublime. Seeing the replay from behind the goal, top class.

Esse could have easily taken a touch but the fact he didn't shows his class. And Emakhu is going to scare defenders shitless. That wait he did as you said, before then knocking it past him was really clever.

Impressive

We’ve a bit of pace in the team that’s going to terrorise defences when we break.

Can’t imagine Burey doing what Emakhu did. Intelligent play from start to end

Sod it, 3 points from 3 and we're still outside the playoffs!

from 3?

 

[cold blow]

Very impressive the coolness shown when Emakhu looked across and played the perfect ball to Esse for the goal, he looks very composed for a youngster, they both need to brush up on their defensive work if they are going to become great players.

 

[Kryan Bing]

Considering he had little to do, that was a decent reaction save from Sarkic with his leg preventing a deflected own goal.

 

[Zampaway]

Just goes to show a good football brain can make up for slight loss of speed. How wrong were we all

Not all of us.... just the armchair managers

 

[SEL]

Only caught the last 20 mins so managed to catch the goal and what a goal it was. Great run by Emakhu and what a finish by Esse to open up his account. We looked fairly decent in the last 20. Back 3 looked solid and covered for each other well. Judging by the posts we played really well throughout. Get in Wall'

 

[wallsince70]

Wow , how quick is Emakhu ? and Esse showed composure and maturity beyond his years with a sublime finish . I know they had injuries etc but you can only beat what’s in front of you . Well done ‘wall .

Not sure that I'd describe De Noyer and Hutch as "kids"

 

[Brusselslion]

Good individual performances all over the pitch and an excellent team performance.

If we can get another CB then we will have a very good squad. Not that the CBs did anything wrong today - Hutch was back to his best and Cooper and Murray were very good - but one of them is bound to get injured at some point.
