Because:
1. Its annoyed me for ages
2. It's getting progressively worse
3. I'm a sad ****
Looking back at the last 2 seasons, and the beginning of this season. We've played a total of 115 games, in which we've conceded first 45 times (39%). I'd be amazed if that is anywhere near comparable with City/Liverpool etc.
17/18 - conceded first in 18 games (33%)
18/19 - conceded first in 24 games (41%)
19/20 - conceded first in 3 games (100%)
* I know this season is only young, which makes the stat kind of irrelevant, but we shouldn't be going behind to Villa or Newcastle. Especially at home.
A real bugbear for me is the lack of goals in the first periods of games. In those 115 fixtures we've scored 22 goals in 17 (15%) games within the first 15 minutes. I know the first 15 minutes is a measurement I've just plucked out of thin air, and there will be multiple factors etc but it shows we don't aggressively approach games from the first whistle
