But the stat that really tells the story is 58% possession, 1 shot on target. At home. That’s awful. We were very competitive today in the first two-thirds of the pitch and arguably could have come away with a point. But the incisiveness in the final third was dire. The first goal was a freak - Walton should have cleared it pronto, but it was also a daft pass back to him. But we didn’t do what we are good at this season, which is effective attacking. This was very poor, and along with either/both a shuffle at GK and CB, needs addressing in January. |  | | |  |

I wouldn’t say we were competitive in the first two thirds, only the middle third. It’s not really hyperbole and overreaction to state we were very much second best. The stat you quote even proves how ineffective we were.
Bottom line is we’re struggling to be competitive across the pitch and throughout 90 mins. It’s going to be a long season. |  |

You can hit the crossbar 5 times and the post 10 and have 0 shots on target.
Enciso's second freekick could have been straight to the keeper and have been a shot on target but not closer to scoring then just being wide etc. i take then point but we were in the game. |  |

The past few games since Everton we have struggled to score goals (not counting moments of brilliance from Enciso). If Enciso fails to score then our goal threat dries up with both Emersonn and Flemming looking very poor. We should have killed the game off in the 1st half at Hull when we were all over them yet we failed time and time again to extend the 1 goal advantage and with our defensive frailties it would only be a matter of time before a supreme cock-up occurred lo and behold we threw 2 points away.
Today we rarely looked like getting back into the game and never really tested their keeper. How many times did our forwards actually ran at the Bournemouth defence and took shots at goal? 1 shot on target all game at home is pathetic no matter who the opposition is. If both Emersonn and Flemming are off the boil I would experiment playing Maeda as the 9, he had played in that role for Japan and Celtic and looks much sharper than both Emersonn and Flemming at the moment. | | | |
