Points dropped due to missing sitters

Diallo

Midfield
Diarra today
Isidor against Liverpool
Enzo away at Brentford was a game changer

Any others?

This isn’t a dig at the team by the way, as we have certainly made up with it with late winners etc.
 

Diarra’s was a sitter? He still had one of the world’s best keepers to beat who pulled out an incredible save.

The vast majority of those situations the dink is the best option and beats the keeper.
Same with Isidor who actually beat Allison but couldn't beat superb defending from chiesa
 
Not only made up for it with late winners, but also tons of superb blocks to prevent sitters for the opposition. Geerty against the mags springs to mind, but Ballard and Alderete have been monstrous in stoppage time when we’re in front all season.
 
Everton at home in the last minute when Xhaka misplaced a backpass to let in their player on a 1-on-1. In fact that game pretty sure Everton missed a few sitters.

Spurs missed one or two last week . Not exactly sitters, but chances that they should have scored from

Brentford missed a pen when 1-0 up against us at the SoL.

Arsenal missed a very close range header at 2-2.

I think Villa (maybe Watkins) completely missed a free header in stoppage time in the 1-1 draw at the SoL.

Suppose these things all tend to even out over the season!
