Michael Carrick says the fact that his Middlesbrough team have gone ahead in 19 games this season, but only gone on to win 11 of them, is still a positive.

"There are two sides to that," he said. "Having that go in our favour is a real positive that we can't ignore, and seeing out games, managing games is something we need to get better at.
