So many players now having poor control. Was initially the front three but now midfielders and elsewhere seemingly struggling to keep hold of it. Games like this so far are where I feel we really miss a creative midfielder to just control things and make the difficult (and easy!) passes.
0-0 HT. That was poor. No shots on target and no dominance. No offence to Boro, but we've set up like they're Chelsea or something. I don't know if this is just Conte instilling his system by playing the same way all the time, but that was crap.
The good... 1. You can see what we are trying to do as a team. 2. Doherty, Sessegnon and Winks looking good. 3. Defensively secure. The disappointing... 1. The final ball 2. The speed of passing in the final third. 3. No creating Can see a long and difficult second half coming up
That was a brilliant tackle by Fry. I was a bit dubious at first when they didn’t give a penalty but that replay shows it was a top bit of defending.
