VillanousOne Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Sunderland - 14 shots - 3 on target Swanseas - 11 shots - 3 on target Manure - 10 shots - 4 on target West Brom - 7 shots - 2 on target Leicester - 16 shots - 7 on target (lets not forget the two goals we did score were by defenders). I appreciate shots on target is misleading as you can have a shot that goes inches wide or a cross or pea roller that went direct to the keeper that is counted as 'on target'. Anyway - bottom line we probably need 15-20 shots to win a match based on our conversion rate, Yup, If you throw enough shit… Some of it will stick! Unless you're throwing it at a Dictator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 We've always had a problem of scoring goals under Lambert. Last season we had many scoreless games remember and in his first season we didn't score a huge amount in 2012 before we hit a purple patch right from Swansea on New Years day. I think the difference back then was that when we did score a lot of them were quite decent goals and moves but at the moment it seems to be the case of give it to Benteke and hope for the best, either him scoring a wonder goal or creating something for others. There is a serious lack of attacking quality in our team, him aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 We have so many ineffective players it's scary Weimann Nzogbia Richardson Westwood Cleverley Gabby... the list goes on & on and all of those mentioned should be chipping in with their share Weimann & Gabby should be hitting at least 10 to 12 each per season as an absolute minimum to be worth their shirt, the midfielders at least 4 or five a season surely?

heid3ster Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Maybe we should consider replacing our Goal of the Month contest with Red Card of the Month instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Problem is there is no doubt in my mind he sets the team up to prioritize the defending. This is why we go from working it from the front to flapping and passing it all the way back. A team set up to attack would have midfielers making forward runs into space, not passing the ball then running back to defend. A Lambert Midfieder has defensive duties as number one priority. This will also explain the great defense but aswell the serious problem of the lack of goals. Is Lambert happy with this system and the lack of goals, yes I think he is. He never says he is worried in press conferences and continues to praise the players hard work. To him its working and I really don't expect any change this season apart from the odd goal..........maybe!! To not beat a McLeish season of goals scored is so so poor and surely will see him gone at the end of this dull dull season.

Brumstopdogs Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 The fewest goals scored in a premier league season was Derby County with 20 goals. Can we score another 9 in our next 18 matches? Should just about get there if we get a few own goals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
