There are times we we do have the counter and space but don't have the pace to really make it count.
Just a different option as it is one dimensional so far this season - no matter the standard of opponent - ie tonight.
We were a little like this at this stage of last season too. I think that a lot of it is down to how Poch conditions the squad.
They have slightly different issues right now. they are just an extremely aggressive side but a bit like dortmund allow themselves to be open at the back. Where is there any creativity without our main man? Ben DaviesIf Liverpool had Kane they would be smashing teams 6/7
They are creating chances for fun

Yep. First 15 league games of last season W7 D6 L2. In 10 of those games, we scored 1 goal or less.
Next 23 league games W19, D2, L2. In 18 of those games, we scored 2 or more goals.
Believe the stats are the same from the season before?
Which cost us the league

I didn't check the season before. The point is, there is no need to panic just yet, we take a little while to get going. You could say it cost us last season, but we were a little unlucky with the fact that Chelsea put on a record breaking run of wins in the early part of the season, aided by an injury free team with no European football.
We got 86 points last season, hopefully we can get around 90 this time if we are as good as we were in those last 23 games of last season and win a few more in the first 15 games. I don't think there is anything to worry about, it will come, we have excellent players and a great coach.

If this is really what Poch plans, then it is a plan doomed to failure. No matter how brilliant our second half of the season is (and last season it was quite unbelievably good) we still come up short as we leave ourselves too much to do to catch the front runners. Happened in both of the last two seasons. Why doesn't he learn that what we need is actually a fast start to a season. Not this pedestrian nonsense.
Sounds like we were lucky there - first shot on target is from Barnsley. Error by Trippier...

As long as we finish like we did last season
