I think he means the way the ball was laid on by Saville. It looked like the wrong angle, pushing him wide.??? Sorry, but I don't understand this.

Apart from that one chance he was rarely involved. Bolasie I mean.He was excellent. Thought Bolasie looked class when he came on apart from the miss.
Saville bottled it, because it was asking for a right footed shot, instead he passed the buck to Bolasie who had made a diversion run to create the space, he didn't expect the passSaville had two players either side of him and bolasie in front of him. On that pitch and savilles speed he picked a pass that put a good player through on goal who missed. Bolasie should have scored and that's all.
Just seen it. With PQ on this. Bolasie should have scored. The pitch was a factor in why Saville thought a pass was the best option so I don't see where “bottling” comes into it in my opinion.Saville bottled it, because it was asking for a right footed shot, instead he passed the buck to Bolasie who had made a diversion run to create the space, he didn't expect the pass
i think Bolasie calls for the pass for me from what I can see. He didn’t look surprised he got it. It happened so quickly it wasn’t as though it was an obvious chance for Saville.It was an awful ball from Saville but also a poor shot from Bolasie.
Saville was at a better angle to score without passing than Bolasie after the ball was played.
Lovely finish for the winner though
having rewatched the video, I think Sav didn't have the pace to exploit the dummy run, which is why he passed. He would have had to shoot from 20+ yards on his right foot, he probably scores about 1 in 100 of those in training.He's a very good defender. I mean that as in he 'defends'. Just keeps it simple and nothing flashy.
Also poses more of a threat from setplays as the others. I know he scored last night but he's come close a few times. Also a bit of a 'talker' so that's gotta help.
The miss at the end was a bit of both. A woeful pass from Sav but Bolasie has to at least hit the target. I'm not sure why Sav passed? He was far better positioned to run in unchallenged.
Love the fact he's had a Boro lion tattooed on his hand. That's commitment!
