Hey guys,
I'm playing as Middlesbrough in the EPL for the 2019/2020 season predicted to finish around 6th-10th in the league. I'm thoroughly addicted to this game (read: f*****) yet my command and understanding of tactics is pretty poor.
I just played a game against Swansea and won 1-0. Hooray! However, my team had 35 shots on goal, 12 on target, 15 off target (the rest blocked I assume) and 3 CCC. I'm a little less than pleased at the scoreline based on the given stats and my 59% possession (Swansea had 2 shots, both off target).
I'm not entirely sure what's needed to help in analyzing what's ineffective in my current tactic, but I'll list what I can. Any help would be great!

Thank you if you've made it this far. If you can offer any opinions on where I may be going wrong, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
