It is definitely the failing in the team at the minute.
The team is far too slow out of the blocks at home and too ponderous in posession as highlighted last night when first half Stoke had more efforts on target.
The longer we do not score for the more the pressure builds and the more anxious the play becomes.
No point in moaning about other teams styles of play either. This is one of the challenges and I keep hearing Chelsea play negatively but they seem to over one this issue more times than not. We need to get on the front foot quicker and get more players breaking into the box as often its just Aguero in there.

It was sad but it also reminds me of when we would be delighted with a draw against a 'big' club. I suppose we should take it as a compliment!

Maybe it's because at home players like bravo or the defenders get booed, creates anxiety a bit

Not having that that just the opposition put 11 players behind the ball , also the amount of games we've dropped points from winning positions is frighteningMaybe it's because at home players like bravo or the defenders get booed, creates anxiety a bit

I don't doubt what you say, I do think though that playing for your home fans who moan and jeer affects any player. Doesn't happen much and it's a minority but it is thereNot having that that just the opposition put 11 players behind the ball , also the amount of games we've dropped points from winning positions is frightening

True, but I don't think we ever celebrated a draw with quite as much gusto as the Stokies the other night.It was sad but it also reminds me of when we would be delighted with a draw against a 'big' club. I suppose we should take it as a compliment!
Not far off on occasions at Old Toilet, Klanfield and Highbury.
