Their success isn’t solely, and nowhere near, down to their shooting from distance.They've certainly done a lot better against packed defenced than we have, three trebles in a row shows that.
There is often an opening to shoot that we don't take. When shooting in to packed defences you also have the chance of a deflection taking it away from the keeper. These packed defences are to force us out wide and put the ball in the box. We can and should mix it up a bit by shooting from distance.
The second point you make I’m not totally buying.
Yes there can be an opportunity we don’t take, but I’m not into trusting to luck and the hope of a deflection.
I’d rather trust to the undoubted superior skills we have.
