Missed opportunities to take the game to Boro Shape and restarts – reluctance to play short from the back Frank’s quiet game & the impact of being outnumbered in midfield Areas Sheehan needs to address before the next match Episode Highlights: We discuss how Swansea set up too cautiously for a winnable game, why the midfield lacked drive and imagination, and question whether our build-up play from the back is too predictable.
