Surprised about your verdict on Livramento as I've always been impressed when I've watched him and he's played a lot of the season out of position at left back
Wasn't VAR to blame for that though but the referee instead. In situations like that though they should of used common sense rather than sticking religiously to the rule book about not being able to use VAR because the referee blew his whistle
The game in general is over officiated now and it's all done for the benefit of the TV audience to 'create' tension. Hard lines for the proper match going fan though who aren't thought about anymore
I saw him play once for Scotland against Croatia where he looked decent but its too small a sample size to make an accurate rating. So you're probably in a better position than I am to judge him but I'd imagine our scouts have seen more than bits...
A friend of mine is a huge Boro fan so often we watch the games together and I must have seen Doak at least 15 times and I have to say he is nothing like Jack Harrison except he plays the same position. Often doubled up on because of his pace...
Think the doffer did some terrific business in his final season, I've no doubt other aspects of the organisation have been improved aswell under extremely difficult circumstances. O'brien, Ndiaye and hopefully Alcaraz will be big players for us...

Well a great result and a great way to sign off the season. While I thought we’d probably lose today, I had a sneaky feeling that we’d be in a game, they had Champions League to play for and so had that pressure on their shoulders, while we...
The thing which most impressed me today was it was clear that the team was playing for the shirt and put in a tremendous shift in what was a dead rubber game. Moyes should take tremendous credit for creating that togetherness.
I didn't think that was a penalty either. I personally think football is worse off now because there's too many soft penalties and sending offs in the game
