Not too sure about that as many of our goals conceded have come not from pressing and not getting the ball but by giving the ball away. Some have come from set pieces.
So, exactly how many goals have we conceded by pressing for the ball, not winning it and allowing the opposition to break the first line and score?
Chelsea 3 goals one came directly from a corner to us and a throw by their keeper. The other by giving the ball away, the 3rd from a set piece.
Concede v Arse when not pressing, but scored whilst.
Everton goal was not concede by losing the press.
Palace Gayle pen that never was, 2nd by giving away possession, failing to clear the cross and giving way possession again on the D.
that's 7 goals I can think off the top of my head that have not been conceded because we pressed too high and hard and failed to win the ball leaving space for the counter.
I would love for the article's write to explain what goals and how many of them.
I agree.
I'm assuming this is in all competitions as Sherwood was in the +60% bracket for league from memory (didn't win a cup game).
Loved his pre NLD press conference, love the way he swats away stupid questions from the press!
I love his non answer, answers. Just repeats the question back to the reporter. always makes me laugh.
I always wonder what he's saying when he's whispering with our assistant coach with the crazy eyes ... probably just taking the piss out of the reporter

Best quote ever you ask? "this is football"
My personal favourite is, i'm happy (insert with the thing he is happy with)

Reporter: Adebayor has just smashed your wife. How do you feel?
Poch: I am very happy with Adebayor, sometimes these things happen. This is football.

'we need to be focused'
'it's a difficult game'
'I'm very happy with our performance'
In all his interviews you'll never miss those quotes.
"Foe Goose" is absolutely my favourite Pochettinoism.
Love the guy, love the work he's done with our players, love the fact that he does (at least some of) the club correspondence PR first hand rather than stamping a signature or having it all pre-done.
Hope he continues to improve himself as a coach and the team as it's starting to feel like we have finally found the "right guy"

He comes over as a genuine guy. His reactions after both goals today were wonderful to behold. I hope that people give him a decent chance to mould his team his way - seems to be working, so far!
