One of the reasons I think it was only 4 games that could satisfy the formula is that we tend to score the 1st goal...so if one assumes that teams start off against us with the "low block" and we do end up scoring the first goal, then just like what happened against Wolves , we just concede possession to them and allow them to come out and see if they can score. The thing is we use to do this better in the past seasons by letting them come out and taking advantage of that to add another goal or 2.Originally Posted by Letters;4602
075I mean, firstly: you
This is excellent work.
I'm not super convinced that 4 games is statistically that significant. But I don't think it's controversial to say we struggle against sides who come and sit deep/park the bus/deploy a deep block/call it what you will.
But this season feels different, like once we're ahead, we don't care to push on and score another. Though I must say a quick gaze at the stats doesn't support this argument as we've only got three 1-0 wins and red cards in games like Bournemouth and Brighton have you scratching your head wondering what could have been.
