tbh we are so average its ridiculous. all this talk about chances, how many *.... did we have yesterday?

*one-on-ones?
*unchallenged shots in the box?
*free headers 10 yards or closer?

those are chances and i cant remember having more than 1 or 2 of them yesterday. every shot isn't a chance. we're creating good situations where we could and maybe should score, but we're not creating genuine chances.

also kenny's subs were a complete joke, as per. kuyt, johnson and suarez were our best players yesterday and what does the clown do? takes off kuyt for bellamy? we didn't do anything after that change. an when he took off maxi -who if he isn't tapping the ball in from 8 yards is completely useless- he put downing on the right. i said from the very beginning kenny isn't the man for us. he doesn't understand 21st century football.

I continue to fail to understand this idea of Kenny's that we need Bellamy on the left and Downing on the right when both are consistently better on their natural flank. Neither Enrique nor Johnson can cross for sh*t so why play two inverted wingers? After all, the guy providing the most crosses was Henderson, who was supposedly playing in the middle... If this paragraph all makes perfect sense to you, the reader, then you know a lot more about Kenny's "tactics" than I.

I can understand the idea of playing Downing on the right if Maxi is on the left, as the latter has a habit of getting into decent positions in the box, but in all other formations Downing must be on the left.

I would say Kuyt's first half miss was definitely a "genuine chance" as he was one-on-one with the keeper and under no pressure - Nasri scored from much the same position against Wolves, for instance, and all he did different was hit the target. Same for Suarez who hit a ball straight at the keeper when missing him by even a few inches would have scored. The two that hit the bar were in the second half, and in both the keeper was nowhere. So that's at least 4 "genuine chances" by my count.

as i said every shot isn't a chance. hendo hit the bar from 25-ish yards. that was not a chance, but a very good effort. i cant remember the kuyt chance. so maybe 3 genuine chances in 90 mins of football at home to WBA. a genuine chance every 30 mins.
