That's totally overlooking the three or four 1v1 situations that we wasted. I also feel that we have wasted lots of good opportunities to put games to bed. Wigan (and quite a few games) - we were awful though. It's our ball-retention that drives me mad. In my opinion, XG stats are complete nonsense and just a rouse to get people to bet.

More pressing for us, the chances of scoring a corner that hits the first man stands at 0%

I remember us randomly having a keeper called Claus Reitmeier for one game. A cup match against Everton.

Beware of Malcolm!

You've mentioned two names there that I know quite well. I've played alongside and against Alex and as a young man, I spent many late nights chatting with Jim when we used quiz together. I always found him to be a lovely, humble but interesting guy and I miss those days.
