A number of different factors.
Firstly, a lot of teams have tried to shoot from pretty much anywhere on the pitch. This also skews the statistics regarding the shots on our goals. Often, the media highlight that number as a result of our poor defence rather than the fact that shots from 25 yards aren't actually chances, often aren't on target and highlight a good defence yet all are combined as "shots on goal". I'm not saying that we haven't leaked far, far too many chances, but sometimes statistics don't tell the full picture. A shot from 40 yards that dribbles into the keeper is a shot on goal, the same as a one on one that the keeper saves, now tell me, which one is the actual scoring chance?
Secondly, it highlights more of a problem with the space often left by the midfield rather than the poor defence. I can't recall many one on one saves that David has had to make. Again, this isn't a definative reason why I believe the reason for the opposition having so many "chances" is more down to our midfield than defence but it doesn't help that we normally leave acres of space for the opposition to exploit. Which often leaves too much for the defence to deal with and has often needed De Gea.
I said this earlier in the season that we will concede more chances and goals just because of the way the midfield has played in the first few games. The game against City, I think 3-1 would have been a fair result. The last 3 goals we conceded I think overplayed City's "dominance" over us. Not saying they didn't deserve the win but it wasn't a true reflection.

the defence is fine imo, they just need better protection from the front
midfield is weak, and with chicharito we are basically playing with 10 men
Once we get into the oppositions 18yard box the guy is genius. but outside and he is non existent

Who gives a **** how many threads I make? Go and cry to someone who cares.
Maybe I should limit the number of threads I post so that this board will be even more empty, quiet and ****ing boring.
this board is boring cos its just you posting threads about nothing, pissing people off you numpty. now go empty my bins.
lol i remember coming on here a couple months ago actually reading articles which were decent imo.but this miserable bin man ruins our board
Why don't you two **** off to somewhere where people actually give a **** what you think?
Someone created too many articles and is ruining the silence of the board Grow the **** up.

pot calling the kettle black there kid. this board has good posters, theyve been driven out by you and your mindless prattling. you piss off as much as you do rival fans and christ knows thats alot.
Bull****.
So not creating articles and leaving the board quieter would make it better. How stupid are you?
Crying over someone posting articles, how ****ing pathetic.
If you don't like my articles why don't you ignore them and/or write some yourself? It's not that difficult, even for someone with your limited intelligence.
