They’ve been struggling for goals this season and once again, against a defence that could crumble with a little pressure, they failed to capitalise on plenty of options. Two clear-cut chances inside the box from set pieces could’ve turned this game on its head.

Alvaro Negredo, Adama Traore, Rudy Gestede, Stewart Downing and Martin de Roon were all expected to be amongst the goals but they’ve failed to follow any kind of plan and seem almost drained of chances to put the ball away.

While the defence has been bright this season, Boro’s attack is the one that could potentially see them relegated to the Championship.
