Why can't we convert our chances 14:47 - Feb 7 with 3121 viewsvetchonian

We are creating a lot of scoring opportunities at the moment but do not seem able to convert them to goals why?

Are we really? To me it seems like we're too slow to get the ball forward and aren't creating enough good chances. I have full confidence in Paloschi, Sigurdsson and Ayew to put away most good chances but if by the time we've got the ball near the box the other team has managed to get half their team in it we'll always find it difficult to score.

I am sure Frankie is aware of this and working on it. Having said that we had more opportunities yesterday than say against West Brom.

We haven't replaced Bony, Gomis started to show some gumption but why did he then dry up? Maybe Paloschi will be the answer or at least make Gomis fight for the position either way it's a win, win for us.
Unfortunately there is always a but here, but we just haven't got the time to see what happens, we have to sort it out by the next game, as every single point is vital for us.
By drawing yesterday, instead of thinking, 3 points off Palace then we could get away with a draw v Southampton, now means we are under pressure to win, especially with our games coming up.

you make it sound like we missed a couple of sitters.....give palace some credit with their defence they had big men and lots of them....also people forget how many chances or perhaps half chances Bonny used to miss.Shame you dont get .5 of a goal for dominance or effort

Is it a matter of confidence? This wasn't meant as a critiscism more an opening of a debate. We appear to be creating lots more scoring opportunities but don't seem to be able to make them pay.

Routledge and Ayew in the first half had 2 good chances, Fede and Ash 2nd half plus we got into lots of goal scoring positions

That was on my mind as i sent it.....your dead right , to give yourself a chance to survive the game you need to do a few laps of the stadium before kick off so that your heart rate is well prepared for the threshold zone they constantly put us through

We had a lot of attacking possession against Palace but kept insisting on crossing it into the box. Palaces centre backs are 6'5 and 6'3, two of our forward are under 5'10. They were never going to beat them in the air. We need to get behind the defence with pace or play quick ball on the floor and not work it wide to then cross it at head height to two short arses.

How many clear-cut chances did we make then? I didn't see many. Routs' was probably the best of the bunch when he fired wide. Apart from Siggy's second free kick, I'm struggling to think of a save that Hennessey had to make.

Thats what I was thinking too. we attacking the goal from almost everywhere around their half. but walk-ins there weren't many. Paloschi had that one near the box that was a decent chance. but aside from that, we were making our own shots. Which realistically isn't a bad mentality at our place on the table.

You might want to distinguish between "creating" chances and "taking" them. I can remember a few games, for a hypothetical example, where we created 3 chances and scored 2.

And to a certain degree, many of the posters above have identified reasons why goals aren't being scored, fewer why chances are not being created.

I thought yesterday the problem was converting our ample posession in the opposition half up to the edge of their box into chances.

I didn't think we had that many actual chances,only Routs and Siggys decent shots from quite far out and a few times where it fell to Ash awkwardly in the box. Certainly no sitters

I agree. We didn't really cause them too many problems.
We dominated the game but failed to really work the keeper.
I like Paloschi and he links play really well. But, the 2 playing behind him need to be more of a goal threat when playing off him.

We didn't/don't create an awful lot for our strikers to work with. Far too reticent around the final third.

The Palace game shows exactly where we're at in terms of performance and result. It's not terrible but there's a long way to go yet.

...and before any one jumps on that it's an observation not a criticism.

Because as few have been pointing out all season, the way we've been playing is far more of an issue when it comes to our lack of goals than the personnel.

There have been signs of improvement but it's not going to happen overnight. Paloschi needs more and better service just as those who went before him did.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.
