No. It isnt.
It is a lack of trust. A lack of faith. Defenders cant trust their goalie to make that save. So they overplay defence, underplay offence, tighten their grips, dont make that pass.
Brian Elliott's 'Guaranteed Muffin per Game' caused a lot of the problems that ailed this team in the beginning.
