It isn't about attacking all the time, or who has most of the play, it is about attacking intent and feeling capable of scoring when you've got the ball. Forest looked capable of scoring against Liverpool throughout largely because of their centre forward. Nevertheless, Forest actually won, because Liverpool went out and lost.
Sides will occasionally just lose to you IF you can keep that clean sheet, and IF you carry enough of a weapon up front to score and take some weight off your defence. But if it is obvious you are quite happy with a snooze-fest blank score line they'll weigh up your lack of a killer punch and keep pressurising you until something, or someone, simply cracks.
All I'm saying is you've got to have a way of getting forward and making it plain that you are aiming to win. You have to win at least one game in every three from now on as an absolute minimum. Four points from every three games would make you safe, safe, safe. Two 0-0 draws and a 1-2 defeat and its hello Accrington, is Bumble coming to watch today?
