Yup and it is not a huge issue but it is a noticeable one. If you used that xG thing i am certain it would show our attempts v goals ratio has dropped off. A relaxed player is a better player than a tense one. Recently we seem to be tensing up with the final kick or pass in a passage of play.we have scored over 100 goals you know
If Sterling had been put through earlier and scored for example, that tap in is just that, a simple finish. I suggest the build up of not being put through when he or others should be manifests it's self in us just losing our cool at the final moment more regularly than earlier in the season.
Just saying we have scored a lot is to dismiss the issue which i stress again is not huge atm. It is one area i can see sapping our chipper have a go mentality though if it continues. It will not see us lose the league from here or anything drastic but as i said earlier, we are fantastic squad so to see us stagnate in any area, even a bit, is amplified owing to our tremendous advancement in the last calendar year.
We need to validate our efforts more basically, it is good for the players confidence.
