Vive_La_Villa Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 @villalad21 mentioned on another thread we have had the most shot on target against us in the league. I can’t find this stat anywhere and it’s doing my head in now. Anyone know where I can find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can check the team statistics on WhoScored, but we're tied with Norwich for the second most shots conceded per game in the league at 17.3. Only Arsenal concede more with 18. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for what it's worth, we're 6th in the league for shots on target in an offensive sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that before or after Watford shipped in eight at Man. City? They surely must've conceded most shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure they didn’t mean overall shots rather than on target? lets say it was all shots against them the number is 121 which is way to high and suggests we are not defending well as a team and keep the ball well enough. But considering we have conceded 11, Heaton saved 15 and 40 were blocked that means the remaining 55 attempts weren't even on target. so out of 121 attempts from opposition that means we are only conceded from an average of 9% of those attempts in games. Now I’ve probably got claret and blue tinted glasses on but to me that backs up what I’ve seen from watching us play in that we have a decent defence. I’m very surprised you think it’s woeful Edited October 4, 2019 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) 121 shots against in 7 games? That's nearly 20 per game (17/18), that's concerning even if they are off target. Edited October 4, 2019 by MaVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does suggest we are not defending well as a team though. Edited October 4, 2019 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) According to BBC stats in our seven Premier league games we've had 98 shots against us, and 27 of those have been on target. Edited October 4, 2019 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m very surprised you think it’s woeful I'm sorry to say it but 5 goals conceded in 2 games is not a decent defense no matter how you view it. But for what it's worth i don't it's because our defenders are bad just how Smith set his team up. Both McGinn and Jack bombing forward leaves our defense exposed. Nakamba can't make the job of 2.

Ok maybe decent not the right word. It’s certainly not woeful though. We are 13th in the table for goals conceded so there is worse defences.

turvontour Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 So important that we quickly learn to protect leads and to close out games. If we do that we'll be fine. If our matches had finished on the 70th minute so far this season, we'd be 3rd in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was around 22-24 games where we didn't lose once we lead the game. I think drew twice and won all. So far we dropped 8 points after leading games. I think the key is to secure our lead by scoring more to build confidence. I think the players doubt themselves whenever we're winning, even our attacking and finishing become a bit worse despite having better opportunities.

United playing out dismal 0-0 aswell. We need something at Norwich. Oh and I need to put some insurance bets on! Most tragic thing here is I forgot to go to the bookies yesterday. And this morning.
