We seem to lack this big time, lukaku is the obvious exception

Mirallas seems the only winger who shows some composure, anyone else?

Can this ever be improved, is it something you just can't train? Anyone in the youth squad that could be promoted
 

....goal scorers grow up thinking about scoring goals, they have a picture of where the keeper is which is why the very best invariably finish just inside the post. They see every upright on their way into school as a goalpost and imagine the ball hitting the net inside of it. When faced with a goal scoring opportunity they go into a different and clinical mode and invariably they kick a ball very well.

I can confirm this is true.
 

Barkley, Deulofeu and Bolasie are all woeful in front of goal. That much we know. That's completely unacceptable for attacking midfielders. I'd say each of them needs about 10 clear cut chances to score one goal. Nowhere near good enough. Mirallas slightly better, but still needs to improve when presented with one-on-ones. Lukaku is the only goal threat in the entire squad, and that is an absolute shambles. I'm not going to waste my breath stating why Kone, Valencia and Niasse aren't good enough.

i think I might just be a goalscorer.
 

Seamus Coleman is the third best finisher in our squad, genuinely.
