All teams lose some games late, and win some late (we won with Hojlund at Villa, Amad vs Liverpool, McT's double against Brentford, Mainoo against Wolves), but the former has been truly alarming this season. I tried to go through our fixtures and make a list.
1. Premier League
We dropped 13 points to goals conceded after the 80th minute.
- Arsenal A (lost 3-1, conceded at '90+5, '90+10) -1pt
- Forest A (lost 2-1, conceded at '82) -1pt
- Fulham H (lost 1-2, conceded at '90+6) -1pt
- City A (lost 3-1, conceded at '81, '91) -1pt
- Chelsea A (lost 4-3, conceded at '90+9, '90+10) -3pts
- Brentford A (drew 1-1, conceded at '90+8) -2pts
- Liverpool H (drew 2-2, conceded at '84) -2pts
- Burnley H (drew 1-1, conceded at '88) -2pts
2. Champions League
Conceding late goals cost us 4 points.
- Galatasaray H (lost 2-3, conceded at '81) -1pt
- FC Copenhagen A (lost 4-3, conceded at '83, '87) -3pts
3. FA Cup
We got through, but had conceded our 3rd in our draw away at Coventry at '90+4 leading to penalties.
(Besides this list, I remember watching wins which we were lucky to get away with as well with late misses from the opposition.)
So why did this happen?
