    It's not that simple.

    When you sit deep and counter, you naturally get less chances because you've less of the ball. But what chances you do get, tend to be easier to score from because you're breaking fast on your opponent and preventing them from getting bodies back to defend in numbers. You've got more space and less pressure on the ball when trying to score.

    Teams are always going to take this approach against our style of play, just like they do against Man city or anyone else who tries to completely dominate the ball. For this reason, total chances per goals scored isn't really a statistic/metric worth measuring when determining how good or bad our defence is.

    One big insufficiancy Joe Hart has, is his control of the penalty box when high balls come in.

    This is on Ang today with that side he picked and need to play like the real Madrid game in the first half to get anything.

    The drop in quality from CCV and Starfelt to Welsh and Jenz is so glaring that it hurts

    Jenz and McGregor both * hopeless at the goals just heading it into no man's land keeping the pressure on and then we are weak as * going for the second balls.

    What a crock of *, while I'm having an obvious go at Ange's subs but apparently somehow defending all Aussies.

    Don't understand why Kyogo is playing. He has no space to run into against a packed penalty box.
