Take any team, and instruct them every time they get near the box, regardless of whether there are defenders in the way, or if it's a good angle, to shoot. JUst shoot from anywhere near the box. What you'll end up with is a team with the most shots of anyone in the league, and you'll also end up with the worst conversion rate in the league. That's obvious isn't it? So what does that tell you?
It's not about how many shots, and it's not about our conversion rate. Because both of those are a function of HOW WE PLAY. It's about how many clear chances you create, and how many of those you take.
And we're playing in a way that doesn't create many CLEAR chances, i.e. one on ones with the keeper, free headers in front of goal, tap ins from crosses flying across the box etc. We DO have a lot of shots from the edge of the area and tight angles.
I do think our shooting could be improved, but as I said initially, it's not as simple as just improving that.
