You almost get the feeling that once we get the hang of scoring then we won't stop.
No one can be that unlucky forever...................or can they ? (Brighton way..etc.)

We were so close to getting results from our last two games. Small percentages that would have seen us on an 8 game unbeaten run having beaten Leeds, Liverpool, Spurs and potentially palace or West brom or both. Can you imagine the euphoria around this place. Yes we have an issue around converting chances but so much is spot on with our side. Confidence seems to be the problem in the 6 yard box and digging out players one by one ain't gonna help. I would just enjoy the roller coaster as it taken me 50 years waiting for a squad, manager, chairman and stadium this good. Hold on tight fellas /girlie's keep your nerve.

Have we had a a shot hit the woodwork and go in this season? rather than come back into play safely?

I think Solly may have had one that managed to come back across the goal and spin out for a goal kick?
Or am I misremembering that?
If so that has to be the freakiest one so far.

Hopefully staying up this season and when thats done, a bit of a reset for everyone and a lot of the demons chasing the attackers and midfielders will be gone and we'll see a new start. One or two sginings would be nice but just getting rid of this weird shite season would probably would probably be helpful in itself. Goalie (relatively) suddenly turned into shite, best player got injured eleven games into the season, only left back in the squad injured days after sending another one out on loan, the five woodwork hits against United and the post-match goal, Kane/Lallana penalty, March vs Saints penalty, the tirades of missed chances against everyone (not saying its only bad luck but its certainly not good luck either), two missed penalties and a freak goal days ago... Just end it please. "More points than last season, higher up the league than team x"... **** all of that shit, I take 17th place only staying up on goal difference. Bring on 21/22.

Have we had any “lucky” goals where a deflection was key? For all the shots we have it is remarkable that we don’t seem to have many lucky goals. We must have had some but I can’t remember.

Just yesterday Kane and Liverpool both had one. Firmino’s effort was awful (similar to maupay’s vs watford) and was going very wide. It hit a defender and gave keeper no chance. It seems almost impossible that given all our shots and the number we have blocked that none have gone in. Maybe I have just forgotten them.
