-So are they counting all of Jags shots at our own goal as well?

-Defense has been good this year. Pity its impossible to us to get 2 goals in a match.

SAY "WHAT" AGAIN!!!!!!

I double dare ya muthaf*cka!

We have a v. Good defense and holding midfield 2. It's once you get to our front 4 that are problems start.

Our defense is solid but they are always playing under pressure because we don't score or get a couple of goals up in a game. They have to play every game knowing that one little mistake and were fooked!!

Utd city ect concede goals but can score at the other end.

I don't think our defense has been good at all. Too many soft goals, and Blackburn opened us up numerous times. I was in the away section with some mates for that game, and when we went one nil up my mate turned to me and said I must be quite confident that we would win from here there. I told him there was no way we'd keep a clean sheet, and that second they sliced thru us and Dunn sidefooted onto the post. If Blackburn can make it look that easy against us, then there's no way we can say our defense has been good.

78 shots against us - 26 conceded... 33.333333333% accuracy. That means that 1 in every 3 shots have gone in.. FFS!! THAT IS ****!!

90 shots on target for us - 22 scored.... 24.44444444% accuracy. Well that's 1 shot in every 4 has gone in.....

Tells its own story.

We need 2 top forwards. And as usual we're chasing a centre back and a keeper.

I think it's a testament to our dour style of football. Moyes has no faith in our attack-minded players so his priority is to turn the game in to a borefest by getting a lot of players behind the ball when defending, and very few forward when attacking in case we leave ourselves vulnerable to the counter-attack. The only time he makes attacking changes is if we are behind with 30 to go. If the scores are level deep into the game, he will make a like for like replacement on 80+ minutes. I can't remember which game it was but we were 1 (or 2 goals) down and we still had 11 players defending a corner.

We are only averaging a goal a game (equal 2nd worst attack in the league), both home and away, so this '78' record is obviously hurting us in other areas. I bet we are in the top 5 in terms of least amount of shots on target. NO SHOTS NO GOALS!
