on targer: 1-7
off target: 1-9
possesion: 27%-73% (!!! am i looking at barcelona match stats??!)

"Jose Enrique's through-ball sent Jordan Henderson racing clear through the middle but he side-footed his first shot straight at Asmir Begovic, the goalkeeper made a good save from the follow-up and Matthew Upson's chest blocked the third.

However, the danger was not over as the loose ball dropped to Adam's dangerous left foot but Shawcross blocked his first effort from the edge of the penalty area and Begovic got back to stop the rebound"

seems we're dominating the match and had our chances but failed to take them, and again some dubious referee decisions din go our way...

looking at the positives for the season so far, we have played some good football..
in the 2 matches which we dropped points, we have dominated the game (1st half against sunderland) and should have won if we took our chances or got referee decision going our way.. and in all these games, we were without our talisman, stevie... looking forwards to his return

has anybody notice it has been a long long time since pepe last saved a penalty?
remember tat he was a specialist in saving penalty when he 1st joined us... i wasn't too worried when we conceded a penalty those days, cos always had hope in him saving it...
