EFL Carabao Cup 2023/2024

What are boro at? Disaster of a first half.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

I was so hoping Boro would deny them a cup final as that club do not deserve a day out at Wembley.
Best hope Liverpool beat Fulham and properly turn them over in the final.

It's so irritating isn't it?

Boro in self destruct mode.

Long journey for those boro fans to witness this

interesting that gallagher got dropped for their biggest game of the season.

Considering how well they are playing I’d be surprised if he starts their next game also

he’s on the bench, maybe just having a rest

They need to end two-leg ties. The chances of a lower-league team beating a PL team over two games must surely be drastically lower than in a one-off game. And that's even aside from the fixture congestion.

I'd make all cup ties one-off games and played at the ground of the lower-league club (where there is a difference), or whichever club is lower in the same league at the time of the draw.

Chelsea will get their act together sooner rather than later. Just seen players on bench and injured and it's a decent list

 

[marion52]

Let’s face it Chelsea just know how to win semis and get to finals

perhaps, or maybe poch has finally realised that for all of gallagher's passion and work rate, he doesn't actually offer a whole lot else.

How has Hackney been playing?

2 assists since coming on.

Maybe but sometimes these two-legged paydays can be a life saver for smaller clubs.
It's a tough call to make.

Chelsea fans saying he's been poor lately and were expecting it. On the match day thread on the Shed End only one posted picked him in their first 11 tonight. Also many feel he's not good enough against teams playing a low block and expected Middlesbrough to park the bus.

Poch potentially winning a trophy in his 1st season at an average Chelsea side. Urgh.

Also going to a top PL club is worth way more than having big team visit their own small ground.

Funny what happens when he actually takes one of the cup competitions seriously. Under us it was a case of, "winning the league Cup or fa Cup would mean nothing". Now its "I'm desperate to win my first trophy in England". Prick. Hope Liverpool put 5 past them.

i honestly can't even stand to listen to Poch anymore.

Likewise, I hope Liverpool completely embarrass them in the final.

They're not getting top 4 so yeah of course they're taking it seriously now. They'll do the same for the FA Cup. If they were closer in the mix for 4th/5th it might be a different story.

 

[spurs mental]

Nearly zero.

Still talking out of his hoop in interviews.
