Middlesbrough left Sunderland disappointed and frustrated after their 1-0 defeat - so how do they solve the problem of breaking teams down? The Black Cats followed in the footsteps of the likes of Preston, Portsmouth and Derby in sitting deep against Michael Carrick's side, who didn't manage a shot on target in the second half at the Stadium of Light.

What does Carrick do to address that issue? And what changes will he make for Stoke?
