[LCFC1996]

When our goalkeeper is a goalkeeper he's quite good. Just stop trying to make him be a footballer.

Page knackered  should have closed attacker down.

Considering they have had 32 percent possession they have had 2 less touches in the opponents box. Dominated them in possession yeah 

And yet they haven’t scored a goal.

 

Is touches in opponents box the new way to win games? Just as embarrassing as claiming that having more possession wins a game.

[Durnerz]

What a save that was.

We've been brilliant, assured performance and calm. Credit to Martin for the shape which has been really good tonight. 

I'd say we've been good. Brilliant is a bit of stretch.

[BigGibbo]

At least Mccarthy can goalkeep when not being asked to be prime Lothar Matthaus by Martin.

[Always Next Year]

Souttar asleep again.

[trabuch]

[WigstonWanderer]

To be fair, McCarthy’s looked like a reasonable shot stopper 

[PhillippaT]

2-0 must be Russel’s dream shoreline…

No, the possession stat is his focus, more important than goals or silly points

[Chicken Nugent]

what it tells you is that for all our possession, we've not really been particularly incisive or creative with it. Yes at the end of the day, it's the goals stat that wins games but this is how you analyse performances

[cat lady]

I can't believe we've actually won a match,  it feels good 

[Sly]

We are all over the shop, however we want this clean sheet.

[Md9]

And another save 😂

[sphericalfox]

McCarthy determined to make me eat my words
