Tottenham and Arsenal scoring significantly more than you'd expect given the quality of their chances. Liverpool and ourselves scoring fewer than you'd expect. Hopefully this win will improve the performances of the forward line and we'll start scoring more than we have. Surprising, to me at least, that Brighton have improved so much in terms of putting away their chances, somewhere they used to really struggle with.

We still have the meanest defence in the league, even with Pope's recent acts of madness. Given up as many chances as Spurs despite very different playing styles, but we're conceding half as many per game.

Bottom right is the best 1/4 to be in. Creating a good number of decent chances and not conceding many per game. Top left is bad, you're giving up a lot of chances and not creating much at all.

I think we need to take our chances better, we’re creating plenty. 

Saw something on twitter that we're creating loads of chances from set pieces, but really struggling to put them away. Seems weird when you've got a legion of huge men you can fill the box with, that we don't score more from situations where their size is a distinct advantage. 

 

Burn, Botman, Isak are 6.4". Joelinton, Schar are 6'1", and Bruno and Gordon are 6' as well.

Invariably Schar wins the header at a corner and invariably he misses the target

That analysis also underlines what we need to focus on in the summer, not that that's unknown anway. A couple of top class additions to the midfield/forward line and we will be a real force to be reckoned with next season. 

 

The limitations of the current crop are known. Wilson, Maxi, Miggy etc. Isak and Gordon, Anderson (big maybe?) are unkowns at this point in that we don't know how consistenly they'll be able to provide goals and assists at this level.

Inter shithouse their way into the last 8 after a belting 7 mins of injury time…in that time Porto hit the bar, post, had one cleared off the line and a man sent off :lol:
