What does every other team in the world do if they need a goal?
Bring on a striker.
How many strikers do Rangers have on the bench?
None.
If you are playing against 2 banks of 4 sitting deep, you take shots from distance because
A. It could go in.
B. It could deflect off someone and create a chance.
C. It will definitely make the opposition midfield step out a bit, to close you down. Thereby creating a gap between the 2 banks of 4 that creative players can exploit.
Doing what we do, getting the ball and throwing in crosses, is ok if you've moved the defence about or you've got runners coming into the box.
We don't.
Our crosses are generally from bad positions and don't have enough pace on them to cause a problem.
Our biggest problem is we're shot shy. That is a big problem.
Yes, the movement inside followed by a shot whilst two or three players load themselves into the box looking for a rebound.The wide men, never cut in and never shoot, it's like they're told not too.
