Yes mate, its the quality of our players, our centre forward should be finishing that chance in the first half.

It’s not difficult to restrict team to chances when you park the bus, we had 10 men at anfield and we held out quite comfortably at times. But in the last 30mins we weren’t interested in winning the game, it was all hopeful long punts and we may get lucky from a mistake or nick a set piece.
Doucs showed hi how to score1 on 1 - sadly offside again we lack a playmaker..
I enjoyed the performance and the game it was a proper old school game and no quarter given - we can feel unlucky not to win it, we fought tooth and nail and didnt yield a thing, have people banged their heads and forgot the same group of players melted in every game for the past three years but were boss at possession stats.
I think your totally, wide of the mark here performance wise, before you do anything with quality, you win the battle, that was a 90 min arm wrestle and we didnt flinch and had the better chances - against second in the league.
Agreed mate, we could really do with a central creative type, crying out for it for balance.

Did you watch that game and think we parked the bus - really? We didnt.
We had the ball in the net in the final stages and McNeill also broke a line and created a chance - what you are interrupting isnt true.
They plated 2 up front - we need too no good having 2 wide players when there is one forward in the box !

Their home form is why they are so high in the table. Their away form is a bit meh.
Decent enough side though. A point isn't terrible.

Fair play to Villa they were up for a battle. Although there were a number of stoppages it wasn't because players were throwing themselves to the ground. Hard fought draw and Coote did alright for a change.
Id highly recommend the Nathan Patterson thread if Sir is so inclined.
Will be gold later!
You can’t count an offside a goal as a chance
we had the DCL and garner shots in around the 30th minute mark I think. So for the next 75mins we didn’t have a shot on target. All I can remember is a McNeil free kick by the corner flag straight into the keepers hands and the Onana shot at the end. While Villa had shots and crosses, corners A few headers, we had the mad scramble we got away with and the young striker put one past the post. They wanted to win the game we didn’t. I’m not getting into a long discussion going to watch the Utd game, but dyche will never change and if you think 53k fans will be happy watching us With 30% at our shinny new ground m, then you will be in for shock.
Not doubting the shift they put in or the mentality, it was a battle and they were up for it. The defenders played well and it was a good result against a very good team. Not knocking any of that.
What im saying is when we have possession, which is not much in each game, we are horrific on the ball. Imagine defending for most of the game then when you do finally get the ball to take a breather, someonw gives it back within 10/15 seconds. Its not even when trying through balls or nice idea but just didnt come off. Im talking about basic passes.
We made 143 successful passes today with a 62% success rate. Thats shocking
