Yesterday's match finished with Villa having 18 shots, but only 2 on goal, and we scored from both of those. This kind of on-target shooting ratio has been going on for much of the season.
You always expect to have at least 33% going on goal, no matter how good or not good the chances were. Though I didn’t see the match there were several reported as going high and wide. Not good enough, in my view, particularly from a side that is supposed to be top-6 quality.
We seem not to be creating many quality chances, but it could be down to nerves as we’re not winning these days.
So when I refer to the situation of not putting shots on target what I’m really saying is “hey, get your shots on target and perhaps we’ll score more and win more”. If they were to see that as a way forward then some confidence might return … and with it an improvement in the quality of chances.
There are those that say that it's simply the quality of play that needs to improve in order to create quality chances, and though that view cannot be argued with, when you're in a streak of not winning you sometimes have to draw on reserves of energy to pressure in any way possible in order to create a result and generate confidence for the method to follow.
Footie is not all about just method – it’s attitude too – particularly in putting yourself about enough to cause panic in the opposition.
