1. Its difficult to create clear cut chances when they've 8 men in the box. Its not like you're going to get a one on one.
2. We had plenty of "nearly" chances. The Bellamy shot. 2 Robinho chances. The Elano cross for Ireland. Richards just missing out on the end of Robbies cross.
The bigger problem is that we are only effective on the break, or when teams attack us. Red cards against Stoke and Man U effectively killed the game for us on both occasions. We miss the likes of Petrov and a big but talented fucker like Bojinov in games like this. As talented as Robbie, Stevie et al are, its a different ball game when trying to break down two tight flanks of 4 on a narrow pitch.
