Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
Having watched the highlights on the beeb, it isn't like we aren't creating chances, we are. So I'm not as worried as some supporters are. We need to convert the chances obviously, but it's when you don't even ceate chances you should be worried. Arsenal suffered the same as we did over the weekend, Henry missed 2 guilt edged chances and would probably have cruised the match. On another day, Rooney would have bagged a hat trick, that's the nature of football. We had enough chances to have won 2 games (about a dozen shots on target) these things do happen in football. Gary Neville was at fault for the Everton goal, why he tracked kilbane when he was running towards other defenders is a mystery. In doing so he was left exposed, in the position where he was supposed to be covering. Ultimately, a simple pass was all that was needed to McFadden, who was in acres of space to pick his spot. The experts will say, a goalkeeper should not be beaten at his near post. But fair play to McFadden, it was pretty much unstoppable.
