Leicester v City post match

[Barry Conlons wig]

Maybe its you that needs to re watch games, V Leicester/Palace there were ALWAYS two and more often three on Sane, without an inside man to play one twos with, he is forced either back or try and wriggle through two/three players, he hardly had a ball played for him to run on to. your right his position does not change with Spanish Dave or KDB alongside him, but the goals/chances that come from the left do. ;0)

well after now watching it back, I suggest you do the same, you'll see exactly what your missing.

I did, maybe specsavers should be your next port of call ;0)

Interesting point. Leroy needs to get faced up to the opposition to be really dangerous and, too often, he isn't.

The ball has to be released quicker for him to be in front foot but the lack of first time through ball has been missing since kdb and David been out .

Some other telling stats.
We have had 151 corners all season and scored 3. Apparently Pep had them in Christmas Eve to address this.
We had 13 v Palace and 6 v Leicester, that's 19 In 2 games yet still lost both games.

Most of our players are not the tallest....

If he had them in on Christmas Eve it didn't work did it?

Shooting practise is what our shot shy lot should be getting stuck into.

As a neutral, I have to agree with the impact D Silva has, especially out on the wings. His ability to pass and move is second to none, and when opposition moves out to press Sanè/Sterling, Silva will use the half space to drag the central defender out of position (opening up for forwards) and he forces a DM to drop deep down to one half space. Even if there is no penetration, when the ball is moved to the other side, the opposition is out of position and has to move and make hard decisions. It is during these tricky transitions that KDB can use his skill and find openings.

But without D Silva, it seems that City sometimes get stuck playing the ball from side to side on the outside of a low 10 man block.

Data do prove that corners and shots on goal go hand in hand - a team that shoots more will have more corners. However teams that shoot more and get more corners do not score more goals The number of goals a team scores does not increase with the number of corners it wins. The correlation is essentially zero. You can have one corner or you cab have seventeen corners: it will have no significant impact on how many goals you score.

For starters, not every corner leads to a shot: the defense is packed tightly to ensure that they do not. According to the Numbers Game, only one in five corners leads to a shot on goal Or put in another way, four in five do not lead to a shot on goal.They go on further to say that just one of every nine shots produced from corners ends up in a goal. In other words, 89% of shots on goal produced from corners are wasted.

So when you combine the odds of corners generating a shot plus the odds that these shots will find the back of the net, the average corner is worth about 0.022 goals, or more simply, the average Premier League team scores a goal from a corner once every ten games.

So our 3 goals from 151 corners are, believe it or not, higher than the average.
