We are always going to score plenty of goals. But missed chances make it harder for ourselves than it needs to be. The Watford game was a prime example. We scored with our first five shots on target. The game was over after 20 minutes. We can then take it easy and not have to worry. Although 3-1 at Everton sounds a breeze it was far from it. Had we took early chances and gone 2-0 up it’s a much different second half.
We have a lot of games coming up and rotation in defence isn’t going to be easy. The centre halves are going to have to play a lot of minutes before the year is out. If we are more clinical in front of goal then the defensive guys can have more of a breather in games.
I do sometimes wonder if the fact we create so many chances plays on our minds? Do they have an attitude of it doesn’t matter so much if I miss one as there’ll be another along soon? Hope not and I know they don’t miss on purpose but lack of pressure sometimes does funny things
