It seemed very obvious in the Palace game we had numerous occasions to shoot or move the ball faster into a shooting opportunity, particularly in the first half when we were controlling midfield and pinching the ball high up.
Can't remember us having a pop in hardly any of them. It was bloody frustrating.

About two minutes in Cunha beat a couple of players, 25 yards out, it opened up nicely...have a dig man!

In the end he dallied, tried passing to Semedo (who would have had no-one to cross to anyway) and misplaced it. End of attack.

Semedo had one too where it all opened up for him about 20 yards out. I’d expect any professional to hit the target there when there is no pressure from an opposition to tackle you and no one to block the shot. Just put your foot through it. At worst the keeper is going to parry it, and who knows you might catch it right and it goes in the corner, deflection, whatever. Think he instead opted to pass it out wide to ?Sarabia who then just checked back and recycled. Drives me mad. Then we will just take pot shots from 25 yards into peoples shins which have nil chance of going at goal.

Gomes and Silva had two woeful efforts too.

 

[sycophantia]

Neto also had a few chances to pull the trigger couldn't be arsed to have a dig.

He had one good effort, slight deflection and then tipped over the bar.

We had 12 shots apparently - 4 on target. Felt like a lot less.

We had enough possession in decent areas to have twice that many.
(possibly a bit hyperbolic)

Yep, if he can keep this standard up, we should get a good price for him in January.

The Bellegard thread is closed so I'll drop this here. A really good, insightful and informative piece.... in The Athletic!

Profiling Jean-Ricner Bellegarde: An expert ball-carrier but rarely flashy

Bellegarde’s game is all about moving from A to B with the minimum of delay, whether that's dribbling or progressive passes

I think being this cranky means you could do with a rest

Not surprising with Cunha, Neto, Nunes and now Bellegarde.

Just a shame we do feck all with them at the end.
