We're not really shooting outside the box much

We were saying the same thing for the last 36 months too.

this:


pre Barkley we haven't had many who could actually put their boot through it, I mean Pienaar Osman ffs; powder puffs.

During our 'arsenal lite' phase we were trying to walk it into the net, still are sometimes

strange thread this tbh. Barkley certainly isnt scared to have a shot. His timing and decision making will improve through experience.

Got to say if i was thinking about starting a thread i would never have gone for this title but fair play mate, at least your getting aa discussion of sorts going

only 1 in 33 shots lead to a goal. So basically shooting outside the box is just giving the ball away

The bookmakers odds are based on shots for during a game. As statistics show the teams with highest number of shots win the most games.

Mikey, I like you, you are sound but do you know how hard it is to shoot outside the box? You have literally a second to make that decision, create space and pull your foot back. It's not easy as it looks from our point of view. When there's players all around you and in front of you, you don't get the chance as often that's why we work it out wide it look for a nice pass/through ball etc. Do you know how hard it is to score from 20+ yards? The players that have done it regularly are extremely gifted. A player like Beckham doesn't come around often, neither does Scholes, Ronaldo or Bale.

Once you take a touch on that ball, there will be someone within yards of you, it's not easy as it looks.

well said mick. Good job you're here to educate us about stuff like this.
