I just can’t believe it

Professional footballers can’t put decent crosses in. Often they barely get off the ground. At last we have a good centre forward. Give him more ammunition. Tomorrow in training - anytime you get a chance - cross the ball just do it and stop pissing about playing around the box. Morning and afternoon sessions - just concentrate on crossing

The crosses and set prices were really poor in general tonight.

Hope that Alves is back on Saturday. His crosses for Salech could be lethal.

Not sure what's happened this season - last season we were scoring goals for fun from set plays :?

I thought last night was an improvement on deliveries into the box. Funny old game

Also shoot on sight anywhere around the box if you don't shoot you DON'T SCORE at least work the goalkeeper we need to be more direct in our approach to the game from the start!!

Not sure I agree with shoot on sight.

If we did that and had 40 shots but none on target because people were whacking them from anywhere and everywhere there would be riots.

It would end up in row z as it did last night when El Ghazi shot from 25 yards out with minutes to go instead of getting the ball in the area for Salech to attack. Shooting on sight isn't the answer when we have Salech attacking & winning almost every ball he goes for in the area.
