You'd expect a striker to score from this situation

I'd say he had about 1/3 shot at scoring... their defender blocking a third, keeper blocking the middle third and Nuhiu has open shot to the left. He has to take a shot coming in on volley and get past a blocking foot and a keeper who has his eyes only set on Nuhiu's shot, and consequently proceeded to save the shot with his face :duntmatter:

But damn, sooooo close... just our luck these days...

Should av scored,,absolute garbage straight at keeper

Big Dave catches a goal scoring opportunity too sweetly, typical, that's just the way it's gone this season, what it really needed was a massive great scuff off his shin the ball bounces 3 times before crossing the line. Keeper didn't seem to know much about it.

If you have ever played the game put yourself in his position. The ball is coming down from height at 90deg to goal. You have to volley on the turn. All your instincts correctly  tell you to concentrate on connecting as sweet as you can. You don't aim, even if you are Ronaldo. You just hit it true. 9 out of 10 it Will go in if you get a good connection.

He did everything right.

No criticism here.

They do pass to him but he is either muscled off the ball or is not quick enough to beat a defender to it when the ball is played through. 

 

Yep, Reach played one for him to 'run on to' north stand side of the Kop 1st half and I just thought, have you not seen Rhodes play in the last 6 months, no chance he was ever going to get onto it.
