Different to last year. Created bags of chances against average teams, had reasonable possession, couldn’t score despite having XG of 74.3, got beat at the death. All the talk was purely about converting chances to goals. Not much else, and we thought that would click into places. Maybe also conceding on the counter from our own corners.
The talk now is about creating chances, converting chances, conceding on the counter, cutting out stupid errors/passes that lead to easy goals, defending set-pieces, accuracy of hoof, Holgate actually having a squad number, Keane playing two games in a row, indestructible Tarks injured, mystery “bit longer” injury to JB, superstar number 9 hates everyone at the club and the fans.
But we are stronger.
