Champions League - Europa League - Conference League

[Floridared]

Until we address the elephant in the room being that we seem incapable of getting back into a game when we fall behind with only FOUR points gained all season when in that position, until this starts to change we shall never move forward. CL dreams are just that dreams, unfortunately the players and manager have reached their peak and are unable to recover, I noted Nuno's press conference before the match when he sounded flat which was not a good omen going into the game. Where are our BIG players, stand up and be countered or miss the boat this opportunity may not come around very often again for most of our squad  or the manager, regroup and for f**k sake get on the front foot from the start in the remaining games, stop being passive, Nuno change the tactics and stop bring on a defensive midfielder at HT to replace a injured forward. Finally like most I suspect, not going into the market in January to bolster the squad has come back to hurt us, I said this on the forum at the time, Nuno wanted a small squad to work with but now look knackered, rant over!!!!!

Those stats are very misleading.

The games where we conceded first were Fulham (x2), Away to Arsenal, Man City, Bournemouth, Villa plus the two recent home games.

It's only 9 games out of 34, we scored first in 24 out of 34 games, pretty incredible really. (There is a 0-0 in there too vs Arsenal)

You're going to struggle to get tons of points from conceding first when you score first every game. 

The games we did concede first aside from the two recent games were away against teams in the top 8 or so. Basically another stupid Sky Sports stat which completely ignores context.

The stats where we concede first compared to the some of the PL

Forest conceded first -9 out of 34 won 1 drawn 0 lost 8
Southampton lost  22 out of 34 drawn 2 lost 20 after conceding first
Ipswich lost 18 out of 34. drawn 2 lost 16
West Ham 19 out of 34 drawn 5 lost 14
Both Palace and Everton have only won once after conceding first

Make of that what you will.  I think Arsenal have only won 3 times after conceding first also.
