There was a moment towards the end of the first half when Renato Sanches took possession on the right of Swansea’s midfield and had a look at Heung-Min Son but cautious thoughts got the better of him. He rolled the ball safely back inside to Sam Clucas and threw his hands in the air in frustration.
Possession had been kept, which surely represents progress of sorts, given how willingly he coughed up the ball on his much-anticipated debut against Newcastle last weekend.
But it still only feels like he is only halfway there and he knows it.
