I'm struggling to recall a 1-0 victory at all this season, in our favour. 2-1 against Everton I suppose is still a 1-0 victory but again it's a game we've won by scoring more than 1.
Is it because once we're in front teams have to come attack us and leave much more space, or is it just a goal gives the players confidence to go out and play their natural football, which when on form is as good as any in the world.
just a thought that's been with me for a while, and again today, we were playing poorly, then with Crouch's goal it seemed to kick start us and low and behold we get another two goals to win 3-0.
any ideas?
The odd goal in games is the reason we are where we are.
We lack the spark/creativity/endevour/nous/guile/balls/killer touch ** to turn ten draws this season into wins (or at least five wins and five draws).
** delete where appropriate
