Just interested in an explanation please chaps - not in any way sour grapes I hasten to add :)

I lost my last home game 1-0, here are the area totals:

I had a quick glance at the match report, but wondered if someone could summarise it for me? They had 8 chances, but not really sure how - I know I was playing for a draw, but I thought that just doubled the chances from midfield (oh..no, wait, that's playing OST isn't it?) It halves my chances, but I was a little disappointed that we managed to ship 8 chances when our area totals were better in al outfield areas (ignoring GK and SW).

As I said, not a gripe - just after a better understanding of the effects of PFD, because in retrospect, I reckon I'd have been better not playing it (and taking my chances with my opponents having a better MF rating).

Thoughts anyone?

Cheers :)
