May Contain Nuts Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) Missed the edit time... 3-4 chances per game on average would work out at 138-184 across a whole season. There's simply no way anyone's pratting about at the back has presented the opposition that many good chances! I'd be very surprised if the real average was even at one per game tbh.

Other than that chance the passing was successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You change the 'chances' to 'good chances', there's a big difference. A chance is where you give the opposition an unnecessary possession deep in your own half, I would class a good chance whereby you're offering up a good goal scoring opportunity. We've been fortunate that the quality of the opposition hasn't been able to make more of these incidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances or good chances, there's still no way it's that high. ...and we've still presented the opposition more chances (and indeed good chances) on average playing the way we do now regardless of where it is on the pitch possession is lost. By your definition giving the ball away 30 yards inside the opposition half with a solitary defender in our own half, and the opposition breaking on us at pace is less of a chance than us giving the ball away 30 yards inside our own half with plenty of cover, so I doubt you agree with that assessment.
