I'm expecting more than 5 league goals in 5 home league games. Is this an unreasonable request? As a comparison, our rivals (two Manchesters, two other London clubs and probably two Liverpool clubs as well) have 13, 12, 9, 9, 7, 6. (7 is Man Utd, 6 is Everton). Those 5 games were against Norwich, Chelsea, Swansea, Hull and West Ham.
Even ignore the goals scored, sometimes you're destroying the other team, playing great, shots coming in all over the place, keeper having a great game etc. Did that happen today? Can you honestly say Harper was overly troubled today?
I find it strange that expecting some attacking fluidity or even some pressure on the opposition goal from a team that is still admittedly in need of gelling together, is somehow seen as a strange expectation.
Two things that bugged me today was a lack of shots from distance from us. Instead we tried to play it through and every time it hit a Hull player. There's creativity and movement, but our passing is off. Combine that with some sloppy ball losses that gives them a chance to counter it might look bad, but it's a work in progress. Hull really didn't offer much at all in the second half. That could be because they were camping at the edge of their own box with a 5-man defence.
