Go a goal down and we start playing!
We weren't doing badly before. But it's just the one ball through and we concede. Even if we play well for the next 70 minutes, we could still easily concede a couple more from quick breaks. It's not really about how well we play overall anymore - it's about converting our half-chances so we get more than we're bound to let in.

Because Welbeck lost all control of the ball - keeper didn't touch him with his hands, and Welbeck put his legs into the keeper. That is - he dived.

More to the point - why don't we shoot in those positions?

Weren’t doing that badly but they should have scored in the first two
minutes. It was a shocking first ten.

Very hard to win PL games 4-3, 3-2 when the team conceding first and a rubbish defence. Only LFC and ManC can do that with regularity … with a quality defence.

Far, far better to be difficult to score against as a basis for wins when at our level.

The other day a Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher broke a shoestring and had to borrow a shoestring of another colour from a player dressed but on the injury list.

Do you think the Albion kit people keep extra shoestrings for the players?
