@alex_westry 1/3rd of Duran's passes were long balls. Our possession style saves goals too, but doesn't show in the stats. It can also lead to goals given up, but rarely. The statistics show time and time again possession is key to winning. 50/50 long balls rarely lead to possession.
@dencenugz@joeclowery I donโt disagree with you that it wasnโt a great ratio, but it shows they were creating chances. We just need to convert those chances. I do disagree that there was no creativity based on the number 1st half chances. All good though. First game isnโt going to be perfect.
@dencenugz@joeclowery We had 8 shots, 6 from in the box, and 1 on goal. That is the whole picture, not just looking at on goal. Balls were being delivered but we just couldn't convert. I wouldn't call that "insane".
