NO SHOTS ON TARGET

Just have to be bolder, a lot more attacking if we're going to do anything here. We're paying too much respect to everyone else. Go for it, we might even score!

It is a fact that we are bottom of the league for attempts at goal. It so happens that Spurs are at the top and you can see why. It has been noticeabale so far this season that many players are too frightened to shoot or are trying to walk the ball into the net. If you don't try you don't score. There could be a deflection or goalie error.

A classic example was today when Kimbo was in front of goal on the 18 yard line on his shooting foot and he tried to set up Bellamy instead of giving it a go. You have to give it a go. Nothing to lose ! No attempts equals no goals. Lets hope things change. :ayatollah:

Playing one striker is another way of seeing it too. We should be playing with two front men in a 4-1-3-2 formation. Where Medel protects the defenders then the 3 midfielders are creative attacking midfielders but can also track back. I think when Cornelius is back we will look a more attacking team. Spurs had 60% possession at the Emirates though to be fair, they are very good at keeping the ball
