Cash - 23 & 7 games of Prem experience Konsa - 23 & 33 games of Prem experience Mings - 27 & <60 games of Prem experience Targett - 26 & <70 games of Prem experience We are young and niave. Defenders benefit the most from experience and maturity. The good thing is that Konsa and Cash are going to get so much better. We will have to score goals this season if we want any success. Scoring a goal is far harder than keeping a clean sheet. As long as we keep making chances the defense will catch up. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) Just a note that #1 and #2 in PL goal of the month were Ings and Ward-Prowse v us. Hopefully we don't concede two wonder strikes in the same game again this season. Edited December 7, 2020 by Tomaszk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Is there a stat for expected VAR screw-ups per game? That seems the only stat go look out for these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Solly March hitting a freakishly good one too and we’ve been unlucky to concede so many unstoppable strikes. Emi has hardly made a save lately through no fault of his own. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better visually but I guess they selected the second on how tougher it is to score from closer range. Didn't think there was much between Ings and Bamford goal when he drilled it top corner from just outside the box either. We have been unlucky in recent weeks with some of the strikes. I imagine TRO was tutting just watching Spurs let Arsenal endlessly shoot from 25 yards yesterday () but of course with the state they're in Partey and Lacazette were hopelessly slicing them miles wide which is where vast majority of shots outside the box end up.

This is it! Those shots will not go in every week! Solly March was also in it for his goal v us. Less screamers going in against us and a slight improvement in our capacity to miss sitters will see a big swing in points return! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Fun fact, Southampton had 9 shots in total v us. Spurs let Arsenal have 11 shots yesterday. One team barely looked like scoring while the other hit 3 goal of the months in half an hour. You get those freak games sometimes. Of course the previous week Leeds had 27 shots in total v us and that's not o.k so that's more a game to look at as big improvement needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all the other games we've conceded much less chances and created much more ourselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too busy watching and admiring the clinical organisation of Spurs defensive lines, to bother about where Arsenal's shots ended up.....That's their fault, if they can't get shots on target, its part of the game, part of playing well or not playing well. Arsenal for me, are a very interesting case study.....I still think they are in a false position in the league and will sort things out, to a degree.

If talking about the Southampton game, the reason Southampton got those freekicks in dangerous areas in the first place is because we allowed them to dominate the first 25 minutes of the game.

The unlucky part isn't the goal itself, it was well struck. Those types of goals are statistically much rarer (which is why you'd rather have teams shoot from outside the box), and we've been unlucky that we've conceded so many, in a row I might add. Conceding a worldie once every few games isn't unlucky. But 6 in a row in 3 consecutive games definitely is. The chances of it happening are very low, and yet it did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are closing each other down, quite a nullifying physical endeavour....Southampton relying on the Laursen look alike Vestergard to power in a header. There is no danger of the Worldies folk talked about why?......because both side ares not allowing each other to do it. Ward-Prowse is being carefully chaperoned, which is taking that sting away.....Walcott is isolated and starved of the ball. Interesting game from 2 teams who beat us.....I really don't see any danger from either of them, when you see it like this.
