Knee jerk anybody?
We had 24 shots (I'm sure around 10 were clear chances) and we only scored once, that comes down to poor play from the attacking players not our midfield.
Lets put to bed this Myth about our chances...
1 attempt on target was scored
by your reckoning that leaves 9 attempts to score from
3 attempts came in one attack from confusion in the box
that leaves 6 attempts to score from
now to win the game 4-3 from the remaining chances we would have had to have a conversion rate of 1 in every 2 shots............ How often do you see that happen in a premiership game ?
Had our midfield been passing the ball forwards with more urgency rather than simple 5 yard sideways or backwards passes, hypothetically it would have resulted in more attempts on goal more attempts on target and more goals
The simple thing that highlights how slow our midfield were at moving the ball forward is how many times Gerrard and Torres had to come deep to pick up the ball.
