How can it possibly be a one on one when a defender got a block in? By definition that means an extra player in the equation.
But then I’m a bit irascible following yet another frustrating evening. Ignore me. I would. :lol:
Most draws in the Premier League. Really does feel like the story of the season. We haven’t got the quality to break down clubs that are happy to frustrate us, which is sadly at least half the division these days.
Hardest “one on one” I’ve ever seen then. One on ones tend to be coming straight at the keeper without a defender in sight. Not coming from an angle with a defender snapping at your heels.
True enough but look at the season as a whole. The shots per game has definitely tailed off. We might still play keep ball but the pace and incision has fallen away. Injuries are definitely a factor but that iron clad team spirit of last season feels a little more made of tin.

Tchoh! The Guardian’s “10 Talking Points” for the week speculates about Welbeck moving on.

:mad:
Missing Mitoma, March and Enciso, along with two of our star turns for this season in Joao Pedro and Hinshelwood. Then subtract Mac Allister and Caicedo. That's seven of a starting XI with talent all over the pitch. It's hardly surprising that we aren't quite hitting the heights of last season.
Barney Ronay nails it…
