Did Middlesborough park the bus like Burnley?
Did we try crosses into the box?
Yes they parked the bus but they had a fair amount of chances from counter attacks and they were very unlucky not to score.
We were constantly crossing the ball for the last, i think, 15 minutes or so and we looked more dangerous, but we missed Giroud.
Ox put in 2 shit crosses, Nacho failed every time he tried to cross and they reverted to going back through the middle.
We missed Giroud immensely yesterday.

Having Giroud play would make those players cross better? I'm not seeing it.
However I agree it would have got the tactic into the players heads more rather than keep going back to a failed "through the middle" plan.
Annoyed though that the lesson was forgotten from Burnley, that is particularly worrying.

Answered your own q with the second bit We needed a presence up top and in the box, we had no options and he would've been a great sub to throw on at 60 mins.
We didn't go gung ho enough but Sanchez was useless at winning the ball and holding it up as you'd expect so there wasn't really much we could do to change the game bar sending Kos up there for the last 10 which would've made more sense.
