alonso and gerrard pushing forward has meant a lot of pressure and nice passing - looking good (some stat just came up that we've had all the shots on goal at this point). however it does open a gap between defense and midfield that boro are trying to exploit - I can only assume thats why agger is playing - the pace to cover that gap. Pennent isn;t haveing a great game - as speedy improves pennent seems to be sliding down..
