We're not really shooting outside the box much

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Just wondering if this is down to the players not wanting to or rather it being down to a directive from above

Thoughts?

Kidding? We are shooting outside the box more than we ever have

Barkley's had a couple, skied them mainly.

I could count about 4 or 5 times against Fulham where someone was in range and didn't take the shot

Barkley has a few here or there, but that's about it

We seem more intent in passing it around and looking for a cross

Could be the players prefer that or it could be that management is telling them not to shoot

Have to say I think we are shooting more outside mate.

Agree with this...

Gibson should let it fly a bit more.

Ross will let them go too as his confidence grows.

Harder to defend against our style of play if your mids can shoot because the other side cant sit on the edge of their box.

we're shooting more outside, but we're still not shooting enough. barkley has been the main culprit and i don't know why because he scored a thunderbolt against norwich and shown he can do it.

possibly the problem isn't that we're not shooting enough; but more that we're shooting at the wrong times.

We have a lot more than in previous seasons.

*que someone coming out with the stats of us having an average of 16 shots for 4 games last season.

We need to do it more tbh. Look how often Spurs do it.

Why does every thread have to be about masturbation...wait, what?

I think to be fair Ross has been looking to shoot but gets closed down so quickly on the edge of the area that even if he shifts it and beats a man there's someone else there.

He's just looking for the right chance to shoot (ala Norwich) rather than shooting for the sake of it (ala West Ham).

We've never really shot form distance much in recent times, could be tactics but there's no point of your players aren't any good at it.

Got to agree with the consensus that we seem to be shooting more from outside the box.

There's got to be stats for this - stats cover everything.

Nonsense thread.
