[Football] Liverpool's 3 shots on target was their 2nd lowest of the season, in the league

[Bold Seagull]

Sssssshhhhh, we don't come out well on that either

Although I put that down to Murray starting instead of Andone.

Yeah, but the stats don't count our shots that ended up looking like crosses.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Does that cancel all further discussion?

No. Simply a statement of fact.

Or seemingly the ones blocked by defenders.. who knew?

 

[Bold Seagull]

No. Simply a statement of fact.

Always worth reminding everyone it's zero points for a defeat. I'm sure someone benefited from the insight.

 

[Albion Robster]

Lies, damn lies and statistics. The 'zero shots on target' stat is simply untrue.

Good point, Alisson tipped a shot from Locadia around the post in the second half.

I thought we had a shot on target with the Gross shot that Paula blocked or does that not count under the modern day football banner ? , the fact is we have been beaten by probably one of the best teams in Europe by 1 goal AGAIN at this rate of improvement next season should see us bagging at least 2 points from Liverpool, they won’t see their 2 games against us as clear cut wins as they probably did last and this season, we’re getting there slowly, but we’re getting there .

Haha, brilliant!

Was going just wide.

Great.

But we had zero shots on target at home. So hardly a stat to shout from the rooftops.

That Gross effort blocked by Fabinho looked on target to me. But still not a lot to yell about.

 

[Weststander]

A great job done.

Lazy by Ian Wright to criticise CH’s approach.

The game was prob dire if watching from your sofa.

Being there it was great. Tense and tactical. Very absorbing. Wasn't drinking and still got well involved and fired up.

I really enjoyed the game. It took great discipline to restrict a normally rampant Liverpool side to so few chances and the Albion should be commended not lambasted for it. Whilst we may not have had 'shots on target', we did create a few openings against the most parsimonious defence in the league and the possibility of a point was there until the final whistle. You can concede possession to Liverpool but you cannot gift them time and space without getting battered.

With United on a roll at the moment a similar approach on Saturday may give us the opportunity to gain an unexpected point at Old Trafford. At the very least we should approach game with a level confidence that we may not have previously shown.

Dont think Dwayne was there though...maybe thats why he thought it was dire whilst doing his knitting...knit one pearl one...knit one.

Along with their fixture v Everton.

The lowest being 2, a 'record' Man City (in Oct) share with ... ?

Ian Wright always wants teams to go gung-ho at the top six. It's not his problem if they get trounced. Point one of this gives a more measured and realistic view from the Guardian's Nick Ames https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ue-10-talking-points-from-the-weekends-action

The point I didn't quite make on this thread but was alluding to instead of 'the media' making a big thing about our shots on target, why aren't they commenting on Liverpool's failing in the same statistic.

After all according to Transfermarket they did come as the Albion with:-

Salah - £135m
Firmino - £72m
Mané - £67.5m
Shaqiri - £22.5m

£297,000,000's worth of attacking talent.

 

[perseus]

We had nil dives in their penalty area. On 13 minutes, Locadia instead of shooting on his weaker foot, scould have dribbled and dived!?

Good point well made.
