Goals from outside the box?

[domalino]

In order to take shots from outside the box, players need to have space and a clear line of sight.

We're constantly up against parked defences sometimes 2 deep. There's no point shooting because it's just going to be blocked by a defender.

We need to move the ball much quicker and have more off the ball movement up top so that defences aren't settled and aren't forming a wall of bodies, and then you'll see the likes of Yaya and KDB take those shots and be more successful with them.

We don't score them when we try tbh, they are frustrating after all the build up, whack, into the stands.

last five minutes and injury time every player arriving in the "25 yards out" area seemed to have time to pick his spot but no one had a shot

If those other season are for goals scored from outside the box, then Pep really has taken us backwards.

Cant hit the target from 8 yards let alone trying further out. Think on future potential signings, after a medical we take players onto the pitch and 1) roll the ball along the 6 yard line and ask them to score and 2) Throw the ball into the air towards their head and ask them to score. If they cant do both, don't sign them. I bet if we signed Messi, Saurez and Neymar they would instantly miss chance after chance and none of them get over 10 a season with us (tongue in cheek post btw)
