Other than maybe the Liverpool game, the team has started slowly in every PL match:
0-1 v Man City
2-2 v Chelsea after a dreadful first 20 minutes down 2-0
0-1 v West Ham
1-1 v Cardiff after a bad mistake led to their goal on the stroke of HT
0-0 v Newcastle with 0 shots on target in the 1st half
0-0 v Everton with 0 shots on target in the 1st half
0-0 v Watford, 1st shot on target comes at 38'
1-1 v Fulham, just like against Cardiff a poor giveaway leads to a goal close to HT
1-1 v Leicester, took 40 minutes to get going offensively
0-1 v Crystal Palace, again 0 shots on target in the 1st half
0-1 v Wolves, 0 shots on target in the 1st half
Why does it take so long for the team to get going? Nearly every week, we see a toothless first half followed by an improvement in the second. During this winning streak they were able to overcome slow starts but the last few results have shown that they don't have an answer when Auba/Laca aren't clicking.
Interested to see why people think this is.
