One thing I noticed was the reference to Alaves under Mauricio providing the opposition with only low level chances. That used to be what we did...a strong defensive unit protecting Forster....that is what gave us so many clean sheets. Combine a return to that style with improved luck in front of goal and this could be a good season.

And I also felt sorry for Puel...he set the team up to create chances, but the players failed to convert. He did his job, but they didn't do theirs. Still that is the past and we have to feel hopeful for this season.

Well, this set the team up to make chances point can be qualified by your own reference to "low level chances". In fact, our approach play was slow and meant we were normally approaching a crowded box - and producing low level chances. I hope MP2 urges us to take on earlier balls.
