That was worse than what Dembele was suspended 6 games for. Ain't gonna happen this time.Those early chances missed f*cking frustrated me to no end, because I knew this was going to happen. If we'd managed one early, 'Boro would have been forced to come out of their 'crabs in a sand fort' routine, and maybe would have stopped time-wasting from the 10th minute onwards. As it is, we missed two glorious chances and then grew less and less inspired as the half wore on.

As for us, we haven't been bad at all, but we've been too wasteful with our possession and our attempts on goal. We need a bit of clinical finishing and chance creation.
