Sure, but being able to actually put the ball in the net when creating numerous chances is definitely important.

Yea, but there is luck in scoring goals. Was Davis' strike against NE that clattered off the post really that much worse either of Felipe's run of play goals? He was just unlucky there. BWP has been unlucky and bad - his goals/shots ratio is too low to just be about luck.

When I say they played well offensively, I'm thinking chances created. Which we had done decently as BWP is among the leaders in shots.

Forget the goals, we actually kept a clean sheet.  I don't think it's a coincidence that we kept said clean sheet with Ouimette on the bench either.

Yeah, I was generally agreeing. Still, finishing is a pretty important part of being good :D We tried being shitty at the back, good in possession/chances, and unable to finish... it doesn't really work! You need at least two of the three components.

 

We've been a bit unlucky to not score more goals, agreed, but atrocious finishing from (mainly) BWP has definitely contributed a lot.

 

P.s. I hated that BWP got MOTM against Orlando, that was silly.
