I'll take the blame for this, I've not watched the last 3 games due to work but I should be watching the match Saturday so with my support we should get back to winning ways.
Upthecity!

Third game in a row without scoring on 22:26 - Sep 22 by NeathJack
I wouldn't say we're predictable when we're creating as many chances as we did tonight.
This.
Last night highlighted a problem which we have had for a long while and that is not putting teams to the sword when we are battering them and not being clinical enough.

We haven't really had a free scoring winger or midfielder since Sinclair have we. Siggy started last season brilliantly with a few goals and assists. Dyer and Ki chipped in too. But so far haven't all goals in the league come from just Bafe and Ayew? From what I saw on Saturday Bafe was isolated - we seemed to urgent to get the ball to him at times - Siggy especially quick to try flick-ons etc.

I think our general play is fine and we are creating plenty of clear chances but we lack composure and also somebody needs to explain the offside rules to Gomis.

Would make any difference. Gomis is a dude and he's not going to rush back onside for anyone.

We changed our entire team last night, makes it pretty hard to click.
I couldn't get a stream last night, but the only game I have thought we were under par in was Watford. We were unlucky not to bury Sunderland and Everton played very well.

So did Hull Tigers

Sounds like we played well in the first half last night. I didn't go either but the feedback is generally that we played some good stuff and created a hatful of chances - so sounds pretty good from our reserves apart from scoring. Oh well, can concentrate on the league for a bit.

do they rotate more each game though meaning more of their players were match fit? i'm just speculating but this could be an issue
Dunno, just making the point. The fact is that our players missed a hatful of chances, just one of those things. I would be more down had we not created them.

agreed, event the Watford game we created chances. We are not clinical enough in games when we are on top and has been a failing of ours for a few seasons.

But Hull were in the same boat?
Yes I know, it may well have been that Hulls players didnt gel either. Even Steve Bruce said they were lucky to get away with the win.
As I said in the last post, it's hardly surprising that players that hardly ever play competitive games together don't click. Whether Hulls players are a lower standard, or also hardly played together is immaterial. You don't click just because the opposition haven't played much together either.

Just unlucky/poor in front if goal. Had loads of chances which we did not convert. Kind of answers your point. I think. whatever that may be?

We're not the only ones. Liverpool tonight have had 38 shots to Carlisle's 3 - score 1-1 as it stands

This seems to be your problem Trunds, you seem to have a habit of answering posts without working out what the point of them was first.
I agree, we were most likely just unlucky/wasteful with our chances, I didn't see the game, only the live highlights on SSN but Steve Bruce more or less said that himself.
Someone said earlier in this thread that we didn't click, I said that was because the side we put out had not had much competitive game time together. Again, the fact that Hull also played their reserves, who also probably had not had much game time and are not as good as our reserves is irrelevant as to why our players did not click.
I didn't say Hull were better than us, created more chances, clicked themselves, deserved to win or anything else. I just offered an explanation as to why, in my mind, a team that weren't used to playing together didn't click.

This seems to be your problem 247. You seem to have a habit of answering posts and then contradicting your good self.
You are reading too much into this. We had a collective off day in front of goal. It happens. If we did not click we would not be creating chances.
