Because they're usually facing 11 men behind the ball. It's logical they're not often able to get long range shots away.
At the same time, teams won't stop sitting in against us if they don't need to break out and try to close down someone with the ability to score from distanceBecause they're usually facing 11 men behind the ball. It's logical they're not often able to get long range shots away.
this even more reason to shoot from range ffs, there’s more chance of a ricochet in the box and it falling to someone if it’s blocked
I get what you’re saying and I was frustrated too, but today we had a lot of players in the box when they were in those positions. If it had bounced off the first defender and they charged out, we’d have been short at the back. I’d rather see the likes of Kent and Hagi mixing it up with snap shots.Davis , Kamara and Jack are awful for passing the ball to the side rather than having a shot.
100%agree I like kamara intelligent footballer but he needs to just take the shot on now and again to mix it upKent, Hagi and Arfield are usually willing to take on a shot - the problem comes from the deeper players. Jack, Kamara + Davis will all typically take another pass than go for a shot, even when it's side to side across the box. To be fair to them, that's not their game, the problem is playing lots of those players at once and not having anyone in the engine room who has more drive & dig
That says to me that he doesn’t have enough game awareness to see the opportunity. Or it’s being lazy and just doing what he’s always does. Either way it is unacceptable.Kamara found himself on the edge of the box several times and he squared it every time ffs have a shot put your foot through it, Gerrard should be taking him aside and show him how to do it.
They do.
Both Hagi and Kent had a pop. Hagi in particular forced a decent save.
We have plenty who can strike a ball Kent Hagi and Arfield are more than capable of it Davis done it in his first spell but doesn't now Jack went through a spell last season of shooting from outside the box then packed it in and Kamara has very rarely shot from outside the box they should be incouraged to take shots more especially if the game isn't going completely our wayseems a bit like warburton, pass the ball to death etc
is it a lack of a good striker of the ball from outside the box?
are we practicing long shots in training enough?
are we actively being told not to shoot from long range (can't see it(
Constantly find myself shouting at Davis to shoot,he gets into fantastic positions then more often than not passes it to the side frustrating as fckDavis , Kamara and Jack are awful for passing the ball to the side rather than having a shot.
Exactly and Gary mac was a great striker of a ball so surely between him and gerrard they could do some 1on 1 shooting drillsKamara found himself on the edge of the box several times and he squared it every time ffs have a shot put your foot through it, Gerrard should be taking him aside and show him how to do it.
Kent is no1 in shots in the league, hagi can’t be to far behind considering how much he loves a pop at goal. It’s players like Davis and Kamara that don’t really shoot but other than that most players in our team will have a pop if there’s space in front of them to shoot.
They all do it and our 3 midfielders have a shocking goal return. They all have decent digs on them so I guess they are told not to shoot by management.Constantly find myself shouting at Davis to shoot,he gets into fantastic positions then more often than not passes it to the side frustrating as fck
The amount of times they delayed passes on sunday had me screaming at the telly.I pointed it out on the match thread that both Davis and Kamara bricked it when it came to shooting and noticed Barasic and Hagi have words to them for not hitting it.
Also the daft extra pass between Davis and Kamara instead of out to the wide players was a joke at Hibs. The amount of times Barasic, Tav, Kent, Hagi, Arfield and Alfie where open to get the pass right away and that extra pass was played and they became marked again was annoying as hell.

Airfield has shots from range in his lockerI'm sick of Rangers trying to walk the ball into the net
The mental thing is that I don’t recall them having many shots but when they do they scoreThere have been threads on here for years criticising our shooting. Still not been addressed.
Kamara and Davis on the edge of the box are absolutely inept when it comes to this.

The speed of play through our midfield is far too slow.

How many times did they (Kamara) elect not to shoot?They do.
