If people think we have gone backwards because 3 games in without 3-4 of them options available we have been slighlty off then you are ovelry flapping imho.
We have improved on last year squad wise with the exception of losing silva and thinking torres and foden will automatically replace him
Lack of finishing off our chances has cost us yesterday and early on yesterday and V leicester, having no striker isn't helpful and a failing from both pep and above to not plan for sergio injury issues.
Jesus going down while sergio is also out is akin to losing laporte last year with Vinny gone and not replaced it left us with weaker replacements to cover that position and we suffered for it.
In the 5 games we've played this season Wolves, Bmouth, liec, Burnley, Leeds
Mcfc Shots 87.
On target 28 (32%)
Goals 11 (12.6% conversion to shots, 39% conv to on target)
Them 5 Shots 41
On target 17 (41%)
Goals 8 (19.5% conv to shots, 47% conv to on target)
Not taking chances is costing us and our main weakness, we fix the scoring of goals and we will destroy anyone.
The missed chances early in games amd keeping it at 0-0, 1-0 allows our opposition to grow in confidence, two season ago opponents were defeated within the first 30 mins with a few goals and then gave up then for us to bang a few extra in late on.
Until we address the shot conversion rate we will fall short some games, defensively we are not as bad as made out
