I know it may be recency bias and wanting to see things for the best but was it really a huge improvement in performance compared to last season up there?
Swansea xG: 0.47, down from 0.70 last season
Boro xG: 2.86, up from 1.17 last season
Swansea "big chances": 0, down from 1 last season
Boro "big chances": 5, up from 2 last season
Swansea total shots: 5, down from 7 last season
Boro total shots: 18, up from 12 last season
Swansea shots on target: 0, down from 1 last season
Boro shots on target: 2, same as last season
So we were worse than last season in every metric that counts (apart from only losing by 1 goal instead of 2) and Boro were better in all their metrics, apart from having the same number of shots on target
