I know more than the mugs what put them stats together. even yourself said you can't remember johnson creating 17 chances LOL. I go to all homes game & I always watch the match again & there is no way Johnson has made 17 opportunity for sunderland this season. name Altidore 3 chances pal?
The problem with the team is we don't take the chances we do get. That is what happens when you are struggling. We may only get two or three chances in a game and fluff them. Our all round team play isn't good enough to keep the chances coming. Better teams get one or two chances against us and make them count. Fletcher is our best striker, even he has fluffed his lines on occasions.
There is a difference between a chance & a clear cut chance & let's get it right we don't make enough clear cut chances. most of the chances we get are half chances in my eyes.
Haven't got a clue have you LOL Come on please name me even 5 chances Johnson created. his been **** & thats a stat ****ing fact.
I do apologise you are right and everyone else is completely wrong. But then I have been to matches where I have looked away at the wrong time and actually missed goals .
There are loads of people what has the same opinion as me tho. if you think Johnson is doing well in making chances for sunderland then thats your opinion.
Just look at it this way lads, if you didn't see them stats would you say Johnson has created that many chances? I think most people would say he hasn't created enough. Anyway I'm off to the gym, need to pump some guns.
I know AJ hasn't set the world alight. I know the part of his game i'd like to see improve but there's no way in hell I'd drop him for Sunday. No way in hell. Why drop him for a kid whose busy adjusting to life in a different country, never had a run of games and has never witnessed a Wear-Tyne Derby in his entire life. This is the sort of game we need AJ for imo.
The thing is Bri I too expect more from AJ. We always do when we shell out loads for players, it's human nature. AJ in no shape or form has been our worst player.
Exactly, victim of his own price tag. He's still a potential game winner, and knows what the derby means.
This is a valid point imo. If AJ is playing balls into the middle and the forwards are skewing them wide or hoofing them over the bar then they could be classed as genuine chances. If he`s hoying balls into the middle ad hoc and the forwards have little chance of getting on the end of them that`s a different thing altogether. The problem is that we don`t know what criteria the statisticians are using to define `chance`. Be that as it may, we still need more chances made and a higher percentage taken. Until both are rectified we will continue to struggle.
