SOG stat is a bit harsh. We had shots on goal they just aren’t included on the stat sheet bc is was a defender block instead of a GK save.
OK. But now we just had our first absolutely legit SOG. Actually reached the keeper. Even if it was never a danger. But who was it? Guendouzi.
Emery gets his tactics badly wrong by trying to shoehorn Auba in on the left. Means Iwobi on the right, which is not ideal.
I guess I was wrong. They did NOT count that Guendouzi shot to the keeper as a SOG. Really? Then what was it... a cross?? (but we had no one anywhere near the 6)
Our passing is so slow. When they are bunkering like this we need to move the ball much quicker. Xhaka and Özil have been especially slow.
Yeah. The first half was better. We need to start feeling a bit more urgency. But we seem frustrated by them now. Or they're doing a better job of pressing/challenging/frustrating us.
